I know you loathe most of what I have to say so what are you seeing that I'm not, VBMG. Enlighten me.

I think it's an inane, hyperbolic, whiny, baby-like overreaction to something that really just isn't all that worth getting upset over. 

Does that help?

Or was there another that I am forgetting?

Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 12:26:13 PMI don't get the eagerness of the staff to bring in all these projects. Make the initial connection, let them play at a low major for a year, and just try and poach them if they show any potential. Cross them off the list if not, which will be most of the time. Maybe we get burned 1 out of 20 times where a guy we could have had blows up and is no longer interested. I can live with that.

Investing that much in players who have a low chance of success seems so inefficient. Getting to the point of sunken cost with Hamilton since they're already 2.5 years deep. That's way too long considering how far he still has to go in this day and age.

Rather just grab 3 star bigs than 0 stars literally no else offered. The 3s probably work out way more than ur Clarkes and Hamiltons

Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on Today at 12:34:22 PMI think we go up by 10 in the second half, give up the lead late, go down one with :17 to play, and dribble out the clock. Or, will the third time be the charm?

Fourth.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on Today at 12:36:00 PMCould see Shaka starting both Sean and Nigel at this point to try to shake things up. Surprised Zaide has struggled to take a bigger jump - think his minutes are at risk if getting reduced by Stevens and Sean if he doesn't pick it up.

Interesting, maybe we will be able to play fast and hound guys on D. Let's try it!

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 12:26:50 PMI think he is starting Hamilton because he doesn't want Ben Gold to play defense in the post so that he limits his fouls and makes a meaningful impact offensively. And he doesn't completely trust Royce there either.

It most certainly can be argued that Hamilton is playing too much. But he's not simply playing him for the sake of loyalty - otherwise, Tre would be getting huge minutes as well.

Good analysis.

Quote from: Zog from Margo on Today at 11:22:50 AMI was at the game. You?

I'm pretty surprised anyone at the game saw "a lot of progress" from Caedin.

QuoteHamilton was a project. You can take those on occasion, particularly with a 15 man roster. He didn't play high level basketball in HS. Frankly, I never expected him to start but thought he could be a decent backup his last two years.

Taking a project is fine. Taking a project who hasn't developed and forcing him into the starting lineup is a problem. Building a roster that requires you to start a project who hasn't developed is also a problem. And finally, handing out limited resources to players whose upside is "decent backup" 4-5 years down the road is a problem.

So we missed on Morillo because players are realizing Shaka doesn't put Marquette in the best position to win at a high level.
