Ben Gold’s shot

[Viper]

LOL seriously, Shaka has sat TK for not doing what Shaka wanted. He would sit Gold even if he "is the only option". Gold is the new Sean, the new Stevie and the new TKo (got so much hate at the beginning it was pathetic). He is obviously playing like Shaka wants, Shaka is an idiot per Viper.

really? I said Shaka is an idiot? Reread. I explicitly state Shaka is NOT an idiot. WTH, man?

Well, you said Shaka is an idiot if Gold is doing what Shaka wants him to do.

Do you think Gold is going rogue?

Shaka: "Ben, do this."

Gold: "No way, you numpty!"

Shaka: "OK, that's cool. Do what you want."

You did a theorem, and you doubled down on theory, therefore...but I wouldn't think you would understand how it works, very sad.

Lol you did theorem for dummies

Ben was offered a scholarship because Smart had one to give. He was 6-11 and was obviously a project. Played some minutes as a freshman and more minutes this year. He can't guard small forwards or the four or the five. He tries hard to keep up on defense. He's trying real hard to rebound.

He can't play offense one on one but he sometimes gets an open drive to the basket. Fans enjoyed seeing him hit the three. It's human nature to wish the best for him because he's wearing the uniform. He's never going to be Larry Bird or Kelly Tripuka. He's a role player. I don't mean to disparage him nor will I sugarcoat his talents. I hope he works hard to develop in the practices to became a better player. Is he a three point shooter? No one should ever expect him to be a sharpshooter. Not going to happen.  Don't mistake him for a Hauser. Especially Sam.

I think you might be AI and not a rational person....

Would I rather have a shooter or a scorer? Good question. I'd go with the shooter. If a player is aggressive enough he will find a way to score. Give me Ray Allen any day.

Well 81 posts ago I started this mess, I just hope if he becomes our center next year he can put the ball in when he's under the basket!

you really attend MU? You seem more-so a Notre Dame guy.

We need a defensive surge - 3-4 minutes could sap their spirit.

I think Ben read this thread before the game tonight.

Next year he will be the center for this team. There are 3 or 4 very fine post players in the Big East this year. Just like last year.  Most of them will be gone next year but all the teams have guys waiting for the opportunity.  Ben needs to work his butt off and get in better shape. Weight lifting, muscle strength, sprint running. The team will need him. And they will only regress if players like Ben cannot play with more intensity and determination. The opportunity is there for him. He will have to work for it. I don't know what he believes he can do or if he aspires for greatness. I just know that he is in the perfect place. The coaches and his teammates will push him until he meets the extent of his ability. Develop an in the paint game and push butt.

Scoop often forces action.  Wojo and stubblefield still have nightmares about our banter.

[1SE]

So what, he's 6-10 now against the bottom scum and 0-11 against any team with a pulse? Only makes the easy 3s.

[Newsdreams]

awesome 😂

Still lost

Why post short stories?

Once again, the rogue Kiwi went against the idiot Shaka to take a bunch of 3s today.

Ben's 3's tonight were actually at pretty important moments, all occurring when DePaul had been on runs and cut the deficit down to single digits if I recall correctly.

I like Ben's potential as a player, and it was great to see him knock down the 3's tonight.  Great coaching by Shaka to continue to encourage him to shoot the 3's and see Ben through this tough stretch.

Agree.

It was like coming out of halftime with a set play for a Jop 3 vs. St. John's. Shooters gotta shoot. You can't tell them they can't shoot or you'll lose them, and we've got a lot to accomplish as a team this season.

Disagree, Shaka is an idiot!

We've had some fun at Viper's expense but he's a passionate MU fan who just wants the best and who happened to have a bad take there. Everyone's had those ... except you and me, of course!
