What other player is refered to by their number? Wade? Never heard anyone on here say "3 is in attendance"
Or whatever else.

Wad3 is here to watch 5now Dog5 (for you 30 Rock fans)

I don't know because I'm not familiar with the word "refered".

It's a relatively new one.

He definitely won't be watching that.

I think instead of 18.  He should be called "Minus 17".   Because that is what he was in the Xavier game.

The level of obsession and anger some Scoopers have about a basketball player is a little scary.

[Shooter McGavin]

I agree that MU fans shouldn't be extraordinarily critical of a player that is trying his best and is miscast by his coach.

But stating facts is not scary.  His plus minus is scary. 

I'm not sure who the back up center will be but if you like MU basketbal,  it better not be Caedin as the backup if you want to have the best basketball team on the floor possible next year. 

People can act like this is an inevitability but it does not have to be. And that is the point. They have the ability to do better.  Hopefully they will.

There's maybe two posters who are arguing we're in okay shape at the 5. What rational people are arguing is that having Hamilton on the roster is not preventing us from being okay at the 5.

[Small Orange Soda]

Agreed. Angriest of them all:

If you think Sheek left because of Caedin, you are a f*cking moron. An absolute dumba$$, f*cking moron.

[The Sultan]

Agreed. Angriest of them all:

Not angry. Exceedingly correct though.

[Shooter McGavin]

I agree with this completely.  I think some people are blurring the lines.

[Small Orange Soda]

Not angry. Exceedingly correct though.

I never disagreed with you on that point, but you let the anger get the best of you. Maybe relax a bit, it's just a message board.

[The Sultan]

I wasn't angry. I was correct. You were wrong. But you're used to that.

[Small Orange Soda]

I wasn't angry. I was correct. You were wrong. But you're used to that.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I never said Sheek left because of Hamilton. In your anger, you must've confused me with someone else.

[The Sultan]

Irony

There are many people (ir)rationalizing our backup center for next year.  It's kinda funny.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

I'm not sure I've seen a single person that's comfortable with Hamilton or Clark as the backup 5.

Evidence #1

If the actual topic here is what to do with the last 2 roster spots, my guess would be a backup point guard and a backup power foreward.  If you assume the starters are Parham, James, Stevens, Fru and say Owens  I would ask who is the combo guard to fill in minutes for James and who is the combo power forward to backup Parham?  There are five guys to fill in for Owens and Stevens and two guys to backup Fru.  If Fru can be a swichable 5/4 that would work but I don't a point guard or a swichable 2/1 unless it is Walker or Minessale.

Evidence #2

Let's say Fru averages 28 mpg. You honestly believe that Hamilton and Clark can't cover 12 minutes between them?

Oh so Hamilton "can't play" because he missed some bunnies at the rim? Or maybe got lost in a defensive rotation or two? Sure, he didn't perform up to Shaka's hype of him. We all
know he busts his a$$ and maybe is a bit confident and amped at times. I'd prefer that to unsure of himself, scared, and sulking around pouting about things not going his way on the court.

And Clark has "a long way to go". Can you think of something that was once difficult in your life until it wasn't. Something that confounded you and then you worked at it until it became so easy? Not trying to sound like Dodds here, but I have a lot of faith that these guys will get better.

And for dear sakes, Trevor Powell became a very, very good player by his JR year. His first couple years, he could barely catch an entry pass into the post. And yet there was a ton of buzz about his talents out of HS. He lived up to it in his last two years.

Cut these guys some slack!! Stop with the "18" references in lieu of his name. Some of you have coached and should know better. It's Caedin freaking Hamilton, and he's family, business or not. And maybe I just watched the wrong couple games, but I saw Josh Clark really running the floor well for his height and even blocking a few shots pretty naturally. Omg he was out of position a couple times on D 😱 during his FR season!

I'm sorry if I focused on one poster here, as I do "get" his logical concerns. I'm just tired of hearing the sky is falling 24/7 regarding Hamilton & Clark.  I really think Clark is going to be very good, and I think Caedin will be more than adequate. We're talking about 15 minutes max between them. Let's find out what they're made of.

Scoop is performance art.

I prefer AI art compared to this flavor.

Or, defend your position!  It shouldn't be hard.

[MUDPT]

So, if this passes, could MU fill out its roster by bringing back Ben and Chase?

SLU could bring back Avilla too

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Evidence #2

I'm not sure I've seen a reasonable person make that claim.
