Not sure I saw a single rebound. What is Shaka doing?

Reportedly, Stevie can dunk off of either foot and has improved his 3 pt shot.

What if Stevie improves this offseason the way Oso, Kolek and Kam did last offseason?

Far too many folks -- not just Marquette fans or Scoopers, but fans of all teams -- don't take into account player improvement/development.

For us, even after having witnessed players improve significantly during Shaka's first two seasons, plenty of MU fans don't offer it as even a possibility for the upcoming season, let alone a likelihood.

Stevie knows that the only way he makes the NBA is as a PG.    IMO, we are seeing him make moves like this because of an emphasis on playmaking, creating his own shot, and finishing through contact.      Stevie improved in those three categories on top of his defense will be tough. 

And I was pushing development a year ago.

If Stevie starts hitting 3s at a better clip than last year, he is going to be dangerous.

IMO, Stevie is the guy that I think can make the most improvement going into next season. When he was confident on the offensive side of the court last season the team looked very good. I am expecting that he will be the guy that shows the most improvement going into next season.

Yeah he was a big scorer in high school, his defensive menace role was a bit of a surprise. I wouldn't be surprised at all if stevie is quite a bit better on the other end of the floor this year.

Stevie is going to have a breakout year. Mark my words.

This team is going to be ELITE.

Wasn't last season his break-out year?   :)

Far too many folks -- not just Marquette fans or Scoopers, but fans of all teams -- don't take into account player improvement/development.

For us, even after having witnessed players improve significantly during Shaka's first two seasons, plenty of MU fans don't offer it as even a possibility for the upcoming season, let alone a likelihood.

If Jop and Stevie each get 10% better than last year, we will be an improved team, even after losing OMax. That development alone will more than make up for the loss. Any added value from Kolek, Oso, Kam or Gold is just gravy (I do also expect Gold to take a huge step forward as our 6th man playing 20+ mpg at the 4 and the 5). And that isn't even taking freshmen into consideration. This team is going to be loaded.

I would say no. He was an incredible contributor defensively but I think he is still under the radar due to his 7 ppg. I would not be surprised if that doubled.

I’d take that action (pawz)

$10; 10 to 1 odds. If Stevie doubles his ppg, you get $100. If he does not, I get $10. You in?
