Question for those that rip Derrick Wilson.

[River rat]

Now I am not going to say Derrick is all-world, and I will say that i have not seen a poorer backcourt in the big east, obviously contributing to the teams struggles.  If things worked out differently we would most likely have a back court of some combination of Reggie Smith, TJ Taylor, Duane Wilson and Vander Blue.  But what transpired over the last fews year transpired and here we are today.

However, the poeple that are arguing that Derrick should not be playing, i ask the question...Who then?

Its like arguing for the backup quarterback that the coaches know is not as good as the starter, yet people are unhappy with the starter ....so somehow that makes the back up a better alternative?

Duane Wilson is medically redshirted, does anyone really believe that John Dawson is a better alternative.  If you belive that then i would argue that you are not watching the games or your frustration is clouding your judgement

[willie warrior]

Be willing to try Mayo at Point. Ja. Wilson and Jake can help under pressure. Mayo is inconsistenta nd would likely turn it over more, but he can shoot the 3, is a scoring threat, and would prevent defenders from packing it in. Give Mayo 20 plus minutes there, Jamil 8 minutes and Derrick the rest. At this point, what the hell is there to lose.

You do realize that this is the 943rd thread on this very topic, right?

Also, you do realize that many, many folks have made the argument that, ready or not, Dawson would be a better alternative and should get a huge percentage of Derrick's minutes, right?

Hell, Ners alone has probably made that argument a couple hundred times!

I'll be curious to see if he and anybody else wants to play along one more time. I'm pretty tapped out on this subject.

I'm not sayin' there are a lot of threads about Derrick Wilson, but if Chico's wife wove all the threads into the quilt she's making, it would cover Waukesha...

Agreed this team and season are doomed..... The point guard play is abysmal and nothings gonna change. Watch this team from home or listen to them on the radio..... Not worth the price of admission...

When the 30+ min a night starting guy cant make a 1, 2 or 3 pointer with any consistency and the ball cant make it the post to ox because every team on the schedule knows that.

You have a problem. 10-8 is that problem.

Wilson is a backup....
Dawson is a Freshmen....


The end

Dawson at pg would be disastorous, not a bad shooting form but hasnt hit anything.  Hes actually more of a 2 than a 1.  He was horrid against Butler.  Not really an option for anyone that has paid attention.  Again derrick is below avg but the best we got

He doesnt play remotely enough to say wether he can play or not. Spot minutes mean nothing.

Unless he does something well in those spot minutes. They're then an example of why he could be good.

Horrible argument.  Going in for 3-4 minutes n killing ur team does not translate into giving him more time n him doing better!!???  It translates into him not being ready or good enuff.

Anyone who is arguing Dawson is saying they don't care about this season.

False...I do care about the season and that's why I want a change. Clearly things haven't been working this year so far, that's why we need a change.

Looks like your basic Orange County sweatshop, hey?

[WellsstreetWanderer]

We have to do something with all the illegals

[Fred Garvin]

Dawson playing a lot of minutes tonight,even with 4 fouls at the 10 minute mark.Derrick came in earlier,and the offense looked like it did last 10 minutes of Butler game.Pass pass pass,jack up a wild three!!

[AirPunches]

Lubick is such a hack. How is that not a foul.

The point is there is no one.  However that should. It excuse the fact that Derrick aucks.  He turns the ball over with alacrity.  Despite what the stats tell you he is the guy that gets called for traveling 3X's during Butler's 7 min drought. 

Pete Gille. Called him AK greatest player...Trajan Langden would have something to say abou that.  In short he sucks.  There is no better option hence the problem.

I'll wait for your response........

[brandx]

[MU82]

Who then?

Ummm ... I hereby nominate John Dawson.

Do I hear a second?

[Tommy Brice for Coach]

Ummm ... I hereby nominate John Dawson.

Second

[T.V. Diener 34]

I'll third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. etc. that... yes he's going to make mistakes but the dynamic on offense when he is in the game is totally different than when D. Wilson is in.... I've literally never seen a player get sagged on more than D. Will since I've been following MU

[Boone]

I'll 2nd that...in an obvious no-brainer.

[Nevada233]

waiting......waiting.......waiting

Silenced!

Hope he didnt choke on eating his words.
