Koby McEwen

[Silkk the Shaka]

What I like to think you meant is that if the other 4 players are the same (or at least roughly equal), you'll win a lot more with Koby as the 5th than you would with Derrick as the 5th.

I agree completely with that.

However ...

If you really meant that Koby plus any 4 players (no matter how bad) would beat Derrick with any 4 players (no matter how good), your argument is weak bordering on ridiculous ... even for Scoop.

ha that's how I assume it was meant too, I just thought it would be fun to intentionally misread and take it to an absurd logical end, proving no actual point and wasting everyone's time (mostly my own). mission accomplished??

I would rate the intelligence of that poll a 1, unless 1 is the most intelligent. That was never defined, which lowers the intelligence of the poll even more.

Incredibly ignorant to judge this kid by what we've seen on the hoops court.

Stuff like this is a black eye on the program's fan base.

For anyone wondering, the post i deleted was a poll from Anonymous Eagle that I showed with no context.
The poll was referring to his intelligence on defense.
I apologize.

Yo this is super mature. Everyone makes mistakes. Especially Koby when he has the ball.

[MUHoopsFan2]

Koby shot 10/14 from 3 in the first 3 games of the season.
After that he was 25/106 which is 23.6% on 4 attempts/game.
38% on 2s.

I'm going to smash my head into a wall until I'm comatose when he's in the starting lineup and playing 30mpg next year.

Koby will be just fine when Howard leaves for NBA....that is a big shadow.

I don't think it's quite as simple as that, but I think there may be something to this line of thinking. My perception, and I could absolutely be misremembering, was that Koby never learned how to get in sync with Howard. He seemed to play with more confidence when Howard wasn't on the floor or when Howard was playing poorly and he was being asked to be a lead scorer.

Are u kidding?  He was atrocious except for 20 mins against purdue n 10 vs X, the rest of rhe season he was an absolute trainwreck even if there were some games his bombs went in he was still a trainwreck

His only consistent offensive skill is getting to the line and scoring from the stripe. When he didn't do that (down the stretch) he is a complete non factor.

Koby, along with everyone not named Markus, was very inconsistent from the outside.  He was at his best when he was driving and initiating contact.  Don't know entirely what the roster will look like next year yet, but I would hope that there is more of that all around.  We had a lot of games where we fell in love with the three and almost completely went away from anything inside the three point line.

Moby had plenty of opportunity to prove himself and he failed consistently as a BE competitor. We need better performances to compete in the BE.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Typo Moby.

Glad it didn't refer to the famous social disease.

[Dawson Rental]

He's an adult.

You remind me of a line from a movie; "You have to grow up, but you can stay immature forever".  When you can beat Koby one on one, you can dog him.

The only guy on our team who could consistently beat his man off the dribble was Markus.

He is a whale of a competitor.

Incredible use of the song. Top 5 electronic song all-time.

1- Markus was also very inconsistent from 3. MH had 7 conference games of 18 in which he shot over 40% from beyond the arc. Doesn't sound terrible (for his abilities of course), but 4 of the 7 were the last four games of the season. For the first 14 conference games of this season Markus shot over 40% from three in only 3 games, including 3/12, 4/12, 4/18 type of performances.

2- That said, with regards to the "driving and initiating contact" I believe you are right, we will see much much more of that next season. Thing is though, that is when you will also see a ton of the "we can't shoot for shite!!" and "this team can't shoot free throws!!!" posts all over this joint.

There is a very high probability that Marquette will be a worse 3P and FT shooting team next season.
