Koby McEwen

Hopefully he will grad transfer.

Lol, we have zero depth at guard.  Me thinks we could use him.

The team is worse when he's on the court. I'd rather suck without him than really suck with him.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Agree if he leaves no way he is replaced by someone worse.  I stand by my statement that Chartouney was better.

Such a dismal reality.

Koby is not a 1. That’s clear. As a 2, I think he’ll be better...more of a comfort zone for him. Handling the ball as much as he did this season, he seemed stressed, anxious. IF Torrance is solid at the 1, and IF Wojo lands a grad transfer or transfer eligible 1, the backcourt will be good. IF Wojo adds a grad transfer big, and IF Mane signs a LOI...and Garcia and Lewis honor their LOI, the team will be sneaky good...and as a first under Wojo...gets better as the season moves along.

I'm not so sure. I think some of our best games were when Koby settled into the role of distributor. He had a few games of 6+ assists and I think we won all of them except one (Creighton). The Butler blowout comes to mind as one his better games. I think he got into more trouble when he decided he was a slasher and was going to get to the hole, no matter what.

Agree 100%.  It was a complete sh*t show when drove to the basket. 

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Koby was pretty terrible last season.  But I hope he sticks around.  He definitely can be better, and we're not exactly flush with guard talent atm.  The calls for him to leave are just petty. 

[94Warrior]

Not his fault that he was played out of position.  He is not a 1. 
Koby single-handedly won 2 games for us this season.  He is good, and will be very good if used properly. 

It is on the coaches to put the players in position to be most successful.

Posters tend to be hard on certain players. I remember how this site used to complain about Junior Cadougan. In our year end losing streak, I was wondering how good our team would be , if it had Junior Cadougan?

MU rarely losses less than 10 games a year. Posters on this site go off the wall when we lose a game, which seems like they do not realize we are going to lose to good teams.

I agree. I certainly think he is better than what he showed last season. Seems he just couldn’t get into a rhythm, lost confidence, was not playing freely but instead in his head.

Was baffling though how many times he air mailed passes out of bounds. Don’t know that I ever recall seeing a player do that so frequently.

Thanks for making all of us feel a little bit worse about next year.

[Nukem2]

As per Ben Steele article in the JS, Wojo notes that Theo, Koby and Greg need to get to 100% healthy for them to reach their potential.  Koby’s thumb was an issue since he hurt it during the NC portion of the schedule.

Nice.

What about back to back losses vs DePaul and st johns

What about back to back NCAA appearances?  Some of you are miserable people.

You’re like the Muskie fisherman who talks about how many “follows” he had that day. If you don’t get the fish in the boat, who cares?

And BTW, I’ve never met a truly happy man who makes a point of telling others how miserable they are. Perhaps some self reflection is in order.

I'll take Koby.
You take Derrick Wilson.

any 4 other guys... my team wins more than yours.

Okay I got DWade, Jimmy, Jae, and Davante to go with Derrick.

You get Ryan Amoroso, Niv Berkowitz, Traci Carter, and Yous Mbao to go with Koby.

Davante over Robert Jackson?  That's a crime!

Ha yeah I'd take him at the 5 spot too, wouldn't make a difference in this scenario though!

You'd be able to run up and down the floor with Jackson.  Davante is almost strictly a half court, offensive player.  Jackson fits with your other 4 while Davante limits them.

Ha I don't disagree. RJax was a better player. But mark my words, Wade/Jimmy/Jae/Davante/Derrick would wipe the floor with Amo/Niv/Carter/Mbao/Koby!

That's the EFR guarantee.

[genious expert]

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.

[MU82]

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.
