Hauser Brothers Post MU Thread

[Billy Hoyle]

Those numbers are essentially what he was putting up at Marquette.  I was led to believe that he was much better than that!

More points, more rebounds, better FG% (62% from two), all in fewer minutes. The only major stat lower for him is assists.

No Sam to pass it to.

He didn't say they're identical. He said they're basically the same, which they are. Given he had a full year to develop under one of the best coaches in the game, and is playing for a team that is having less success than Marquette was having with Joey, I doubt MSU fans are thrilled with a guy they thought was better than big bro and would be the best player on one of the best teams in the country.

[Galway Eagle]

Early in the season after the Duke win a Coworker messaged me thanking me for Joey, I don't think she's as happy now

[The Sultan]

I'm getting a real "peaked early" vibe from Joey.  I am sure he will improve some, but I doubt we will see drastic improvement from here on out.

I also don't think MSU fans expected all but two players on the roster to get COVID. He's still #2 on the team in scoring (behind their top returner) and top rebounder by far. But the obsessed him to fail, so...

he'll still definitely end up wealthier than most of us were in his 20s whether here or Europe but yeah I agree. In the little I've seen he doesn't seem to have that next step.

Joey peaked at 17.

  i believe he still has a way to go yet.  he hasn't put 2 solid seasons together yet

Good point. But then again any 6'10 guy who can put the ball on the floor, stretch it, post up, and rebounds above average will make good money somewhere for sure. He's definitely not the sure fire first rounder that people pegged him to be when he committed that's for sure

  point well taken & i love to see "local boy does good" stories.  if joey could suddenly play with a rodgers-like chip on his shoulder, ya never know.  he's got some serious work to do on his quickness(lack there of) and lateral movement.  he's no doubt, a shooter and a ball handler.  2 of the things he was relied upon for most of the teams he played on...until college.  he found that he could get away with the lack of stuff...until now.  let's call it the henry syndrome

   you know who's freaking me out that i didn't see coming at all? 

    playing(and STARTING) for one of the elite programs in the country, going pro after one year, becoming a first round NBA pick AND doing quite well at the highest level mind you.

   ya'll know who i'm talking about too

Because they were really killing it before their covid shutdown.

Sparty fan to me this morning at shift change.    "The whole team is lousy, but you can have Joey back."

[The Big East]

Sam and the Cavs had their first loss in league play tonight on the road against against a strong VA Tech squad. Sam with 10 -5 -1 stat line.

H and H are good college players but I don't see then playing NBA ball.  They might get a cup of coffee but that's about it.

[The Big East]

Joey 10 9 and 3 in The Spartans loss to Iowa tonight.

Great line for a one and done.  LOL

[MU24]

He made this big fuss about not getting enough touches and he goes to an arguably better program in MSU and has been stinking it up. Makes no sense. Then again, he is a kid.

Can't blame him when he has probably been told he is a basketball God his entire life by everyone around him.

Is he "stinking it up?"  There is an argument that he peaked early and isn't going to ultimately what we thought he would be as a high school player, but he's not playing poor by any means.

[The Big East]

Sam off to a good start against NC State

[The Big East]

Sam 18-5 -1 in the Cavs win over NC State.

[The Big East]

Sam 23 6 and 1 in the Cavs win over Pete. Another strong 3 point game for Sam going 3/4 from distance

[tower912]

My whole opinion of Joey has changed.    Watching him ask Izzo "What do you want me to do?" after another turnover made me feel for him.    Also, after his latest buzz cut, it turns out he has a bald spot.     Lots of sympathy.
