Will Foster break Pullen's scoring title?

[kso_FAN]

JFC guys, he's not THAT good.

he's the next dwyane wade, cire.  everybody who's anybody knows this.  he dunked yesterday.  do you think lance harris could have done that?  jfc, what else do you need?

Go look at the per 100s, there is a lot more to the Foster excitement than a great dunk.

The name that came to my mind after thinking about it is Josh Shelby.

Woof. That's actually pretty close in regards to body type and skill set.

Fortunately Marcus won't get Self'd and doesn't have the same off the court issues.

[yoga-like_abana]

he's definitely decent.. he really doesn't do anything great but does a lot of things pretty good.
solid long term college player

He reminds me of a college player that gets talked into going into the draft as an underclassman and then doesn't get drafted

What do you think Zacker said after the dunk? "Smh... Lebron does it better!"

I got up out of my seat at Intrust Bank Arena and fist pumped and laughed, thank you very much.

yeah, zacker, didn't say he was d-wade incarnate. just that he has that kind of game on a scaled down level. anyway, he's good and i'm gonna enjoy the heck out of him however long he's here.

8mp and I were the only two people at the Foundry during the game yesterday. The wait staff all looked at us like we were big weirdos when we stood up and yelled "Oh crap!" after Foster's dunk.

He's Rodney with a quicker first step and better handles. 

[Belvis Noland]

He and Rod are completely different.

McOreb type nickname will def not be attempted with foster.

meant in the sense that neither are nba players.

Good lord, he is isn't better than Jake was as a freshman. Foster has more ppg but it is with many more minutes and less efficiency. Jake was the fourth scoring option for most of that season and only started a handful of games. He played with two of the best scorers in the history of the school. Some of you need to go back and watch that KU game, if Foster has a game when he scores like that, even with this group of cripples that he's playing with, then we'll talk.

Is he even better than freshman Angel?

scoring title tho

[chum1]

Can you imagine the games Foster would be having if he had the benefit of Beasley drawing triple teams?  Would probably break the scoring record his Junior year

Comparing Angel and Marcus is hard because of the importance of the point guard position. If you want to compare a young Jake to a young Foster. I would compare Jakes sophomore year to Marcus freshmen year because both players were in similar situations (Being the guy to get buckets).

 Jake (SO)       Marcus (FR)
101.7 ortg      98.9  ortg
47.3  eFG%    46.3  eFG%
72.8  FT%      74.4  FT%
43.6  2FG%    40.3  2FG%
33.5 3FG%     34.8  3FG%

One thing that is hard to note statically is how much of a gamer Jake was. All ways played his best in the games that mattered the most.

Hey MIR, everything is going to be ok. Relax.

Well, both guys look like they are pretty decent.

[eastcat]

Comparing foster to jake is about as close as comparing Rod to Jake.

Jake was the ultimate gamer. Marcus obviously hasn't had a lot of opportunities in big games yet, but he has had some big moments in K-State's wins over Ole Miss (3pt FG in final minute) and Gonzaga (4/7 FG and 10 points in 2nd half).
