eh, Lance was a career 35% shooter from 3, and he shot quite a few.

And Nigel's shooting last season was worse than I remembered.

Both players should play, Jevon should play more. If Nigel had earned more minutes he'd play, it's not like Jevon hasn't tried to give him every opportunity. To be fair, Nigel probably not being 100% healthy hasn't helped him. But I see no reason to believe Nigel has beaten Jevon for the spot.

Watching an argument between two of the better posters on this board over whether Nigel Johnson or Jevon Thomas is the least shitty point guard on our roster is BY FAR the most depressing part of Bruceketball so far. Guys, it doesn't matter. They are both terrible.

Pretty much this.

And yeah, I think oscar plays the guys he thinks he can win with. This isn't freaking middle school.

True. I only consider him to be competent enough at shooting that a defense would consider guarding him. Which is what this team needs more than whatever Jevon gives us.

Oh, I have no doubt that oscar thinks Jevon is a better player

I think this debate should be about oscar's inability to evaluate point guards. Don't ever forget what he told Jacob Pullen.
Luke's stock is rising as Winters continues to validate his greatness. Add Luke and Winters to my list! Also, EMAWBLAST! and Tobias!

Well yeah.

I think Nigel's better position is at the 2. I'm not against scoring points or combos, but I don't think Nigel is either of those at the Big 12 level. The problem is with his size he had to play point. Occasionally he can play the 2 with Jevon at point, bit that can't be a lot of minutes.

Jevon has been disappointing, even with starting a semester late. Nigel is about what I thought he'd be.

The sequence at the end of the game where Jevon was fouled shooting a layup (he missed), missed both free throws, got his own rebound and then turned it over was the most Jevon-y sequence ever. Also, he may have shot a layup off the side of the backboard I`m not sure. I hate him. Like more than any KSU cat ever.

if sequences like that make you dislike a player, you may not be cut out for kstate fandom.

Angel came to play for Frank.

Jevon came to play for oscar.

IIRC, Mr Bread had said oscar didn't have many contributors leave.

So probably if you are true BID or TYS then you want Jevon to suck.
Very logical, but I don't think Thomas came to play for oscar so much as the best program that would have him with his academics. With that resolved, there will be lots of options, and given the transfer environment of today's game . . .
