What purpose does Carlino serve?

[River rat]

?

[chapman]

Hopefully not the model for defensive play. 

[Texas Western]

?

He is an incorrigible chucker.

[Goose]

He is here to shoot the ball. Seriously, guys defended Derrick through all season and Carlino tossed under buss before Thanksgiving.

[Nevada233]

None......

Hes a Chucker who plays no defense... Give me Todd Mayo good or bad over him... Shoot i'll take Jake Thomas over him...

[Atticus]

He is an incorrigible chucker.

In Wojo we trust.

Wojo knew exactly the type of player he was getting.

[Goose]

Trent Lockett's first month at MU was very unimpressive and he ultimately became very big part of a good team. Judging someone on three games or reputation is a joke. Matt will win games for this young team before season is over.

[Nevada233]

That Defense is what it is...........

Hes gonna get 25 a night put on his head by guards on every team we play against....

His purpose is obvious; he's a one year rental capable of scoring on a team that lacks scoring.

W/O him we only have 7 who can play ( considering JD is in the doghouse)

the problem is not getting 25 a night. If he was Stephen Marbury that would be one thing.

According to the BYU boards, the BYU fanbase was not heartbroken when he left.

JD's prolly got 1 foot out the door...

Would not surprise me to see him transfer after the semester ends.

The difference between Carlino and Derrick W. Is crazy.  Carlino will shoot from anywhere matter how close his defender is. There was a trip in the second half where Derrick had the ball behind the 3pt line just to the right of the top of the key and his defender's feet were in the lane below the FT line.  His defender (who my daughter commented "looks nothing like a basketball player") made no move to close out on him.

Hey if your gonna sit out for the year it might as well be go somewhere and play next year.

[esotericmindguy]

I'm confused. Didn't see the game, but Carlino shot 9 times? The team shot 71 times. 5 other players shot as much, or more than Carlino. He also had 6 assists in only 21 minutes because of foul trouble. He was a starting point guard on a tournament team last year. I think he's worth having on the roster. Good grief.

Nor was the IU fan base or the UCLA fan base.  Also why some folks here were not jumping for joy when he transferred.  That being said, he has talent, but he has got to get away from the me first style of play....which he has not been able to do.

The difference being he hasn't really gotten hot shooting for MU yet.

...and give Wojo that extra scholiie with time to spare. Win/Win for player and Coach.

Omaha only had 9 scholarships.  It was a fair game !!!   Nothing like losing to a Division 1.5 team that's the same size as you. 

[Nevada233]

  the problem is not getting 25 a night. If he was Stephen Marbury that would be one thing.

If he could but up 30 it would offset the 25 he gives up. But since hes gonna score 12-14 his net loss will be 15....

[connie]

He can swear and slap his hands pretty well after his man blows right by him.

[Knight Commission]

Live and die by the 3. The Duke way.  

Not a bad strategy when you have good shooters.

Oh and also.....when you have rebounders.
