Diamond Stone.....Crushing it.

[CAINMUTINY]

5 Pts, 1 REB, 3 PF.

[ChicosBailBonds]

I'd take him in a heart beat

Don't disagree, but I would rather have Jalen Brunsen (sp?) from Nova.  It's a guards game.

[wadesworld]

We were never going to get him.  Or Brunson.

I watched about half the game and the parts I saw him play I thought he looked good.  As far as the stats keep in mind that Maryland has so much depth he doesn't start and when he is out there he is far from the primary option (much different from HE here).

GT looked really good in that game.  Too bad they couldn't pull off the upset.  Remember that GT just got done laying an egg in the prior home game against a bunny so maybe there is hope for MU yet

I didn't see the game so I don't know, but ESPN's box score lists Stone as one of the starters.

[MerrittsMustache]

MU could have used those 5 points against Belmont.

[Lennys Tap]

I think Maryland is overrated. Georgetown, too.

[79Warrior]

We should have taken a hard look at the Duke transfer Rasheed Sulamon. He looked real good.

If MU was "a player away" from being a title contender then maybe you take a chance on a talented guy with his baggage. Since they're not, it isn't worth the potential PR hit and possible headaches. It's also fair to assume that Wojo wasn't going to jump at the chance to bring in the only player who Coach K has ever dismissed.

Don't think so.  Don't you think that Wojo had a solid idea who Rasheed Sulamon was on and off the court?

Good to know your squirmy meter has a selectivity setting

[Sylvester78]

Rasheed Sulamon?   God no.  We just went thru the Just Win Baby era and endured some not so great stuff.


As far as Stone it's hard to be frosh star on an already established team.   Add in the tight game against another very good rival and you are going to sit a lot.   Eventually he'll play and succeed plenty.

[CAINMUTINY]

Everyone relax.  I was largely kidding.  Knee jerk reaction successful.

I hope Stone does well, and like Chicos I'd take him (or anyone with that level of talent) in a heartbeat.

[MomofMUltiples]

The one miss I think would've helped us most this year is Damien Lee.  If only Katina Powell had published her memoirs a few month earlier...

It's only squirmy if Buzz did it. 

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

As for the thread topic, I didn't watch the whole GT-MD game, but I did catch the last 10 minutes or so.  What a game!  But I don't think Diamond Stone got any PT. 

Only 14 minutes in the whole game.

You may be right, Lenny. On this board, we also likely have MU overrated.

[mubb3434]

Andre Drummond averaged 10 and 7 at UConn...

[Lennys Tap]

You're right, Willie. Until his last year, Buzz had us routinely outperforming our talent/expectations. We were spoiled - now it's back to reality.

[wadesworld]

Oh.

[lohaus]

Stone looked like a freshman going against a senior last night.  He was banged off the block.  He settled for short jumpers.  He did alter some shots in the lane.  Entertaining game last night.

[Herman Cain]

Stone is a going to be a solid player.  I think the hype was a bit overdone though.  In High School he played with Duane and still got beat by Germantown and Luke. 

That said I would take him in a heartbeat if he wanted to transfer back home.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Stone is just going to be just fine. Though it was pretty funny to see him get dominated by Bradley Hayes of all people. Stone looks like he's slimmed down a lot.

Are you talking about the Bucks and him "transferring" back home?

Or is your thinking that Hank needs 4 years and Diamond 5?
