Thiis couldn't possibly make me happier.

20 pts, 5 boards, 3 blocks for Luke in his first Portsmouth game.

Please breakdown for us how many of those points were "only putbacks", how many of the boards were "easy rebounds", and how many of the blocks were "just a shorter guy running into him."

Same hairstyle or new hairstyle? Did it make him look soft?

note: Fischer had only 1 assist.  Obviously a ball hogging black hole.

Was this a complex or basic assist?

REAL STATS PEOPLE!

Tim Kempton?  wtf?  He's like 50 years old, if not older.


What are the chances of that Domer carrot top hack spawning potential NBA talent.

So NBA caliber then.  At least for the all-star game.

[wadesworld]

Why are we throwing around flashy things like stats to make what is clearly a horrendous basketball player look good?  Sand Knit told us he sucked, so he obviously sucks even if you want to throw around meaningless flash statistics.

[tower912]

Alternative facts.     I am glad that Luke represented in his first game.    I don't think he is NBA ready, but if he were to get both shoulders healthy I think he could eventually, after a couple of years either in Europe or in the D-league, be a fringe NBA player.

The kid isn't bad.  2000 points and 1000 rebounds in his career at Lehigh.

Kempton Sr bounced around between end of the bench NBAer and Italy/France until he was 34.
There are potential long careers out there for bigs if they don't mind the life of floating from city to city every year.

Watching the live streaming. Luke looking very solid.

[tower912]

Most of us would expect and accept that.

Trolling MSK

[tower912]

MSK is a party of one.  Entitled to his opinion but demonstrably wrong.  Luke certainly isn't perfect, but he didn't stink.

Yeah, like what was his neck measurement?

[Herman Cain]

Luke had 12.7 and 5.0 rob and 1.7 blocked shots at Portsmouth. 30th in scoring and 27th in rebounds and 4th in blocked shotsout of 64 players. ST Jr had 10.7 and 10 boards( which was 2nd). Deonte Burton had 14.7 (14th) and 2.7 boards and 2.0 blocked shots (1st) and 1.7 steals (9th)

Luke was also measured at 6-10.5 with shoes 236 7-1 1/2 wingspan with 27 vertical . No neck measurments available.
Deonte 6-4.8 with shoes 266 pounds 6-11.5 wing span 29.5 vertical

No measurement stats for ST jr

Interesting. I was expecting Burton's vertical to be more than 2.5 inches higher than Luke's.

KR works out with the Bucks -

[cheese ball chaser]

I would agree
Otule can at least play defense n be tough in the paint.  Luke does nothing well.  Call me a hater, but i cannot see him helping anything but the lowest of liw orofessional teams, if any at all.

The all-time MU leader in FG% isn't good enough. He only gets the easy shots...

[#UnleashSean]

Can you all stop this passive aggressive crap like your in highschool? Didn't you all graduate from marquette? Not MPS?

Was Fischer a bad player? Absolutely not. Did he have his draw backs? Hell yes. Let's face facts. Fischer was a decent center for us. He had huge trouble not making idiotic fouls and decisions. He never lived up to what he was touted to be. Granted that was an incredibly high standard and many others have failed that same goal.

Fischer will go down as a decent center for marquette. He will be mentioned a few times  by the old timers in 20 years with the youngings saying ''who''. He may have a decent length career in Europe. But let's be honest, he never was the impact player we hoped he would be when he transfered. There's no shame in that. Remember Fulce?

So get over your stupid back handed comments at each other and just be honest.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

What if you graduated from both?

[#UnleashSean]

Well.... It was like 2am. Shhh.

[esotericmindguy]

Interesting. I was expecting Burton's vertical to be more than 2.5 inches higher than Luke's.

My guess is Deonte is explosive off of one foot but not a great standing leaper. 29 is very average, which is probably why he can't rebound. Well that and effort.

[GGGG]

Here are the  8 centers ranked between 60 and 100 by Scout in 2013:

60. BeeJay Anya
68. Kennedy Meeks
69. Karviar Shepherd
70. Jimmie Taylor
79. Luke Fischer
91. Kyle Washington
93. Mark Donnal
98. Dominic Woodson

Kennedy Meeks (68) had the best college career of the 8.  Luke Fisher (79) has had the second best.  Kyle Washington could surpass him.

Luke Fischer wasn't stellar, but he certainly wasn't bad.
