He had a very good game tonight, because Frank used him like he should, for the most part. He is a white shooting guard. Not a ball handler. Let him run around and off screens and shoot wide open 3's. That's what he is good at. And making free throws. Our offense sucks when we rely on him to handle the ball, which fortunately he did not have to do a whole lot of tonight.

Sprads played a great game tonight. Personally, I don't think we win this one without him. Like I said before, being a frosh, he's gonna make some mistakes, but for playing point, he's doing fairly well overall at this point in his career. The haters are pretty stupid if they make him their scapegoat on this team. :driving:

Thought he actually did a good job w/ the ball tonight. He is usally pretty good at keeping the ball moving in the half-court. And yeah, he seems to really thrive on the BM/Mussy calls.

I think that he's also a situational player like JHR, but with more upside. Some games will be good for him, while some teams are just a terrible matchup for him. KU will be an awful matchup for him, and he's gonna get knocked around. But I think that tonight was probably a good development game for him. The main reason I went off on him after Missouri is that he has this knack to make some awful mental errors and kill momentum just as we're about to land a game-changing or knockout blow. He almost started another tailspin tonight, but we recovered this time. However, he's a freshman, so he still has a chance to fix most of those issues.

I'm hoping the growing hate of JHR will take some of the attention off Sprads actually.

I really don't see anything in JHR's season numbers (http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/player/kansas-state/jordan-henriguez-roberts) to complain too much about. Plus, he compares favorably (http://statsheet.com/mcb/players/compare?add=wally-judge&p1=jordan-henriguez-roberts) to everyone's favorite, Wally Judge.

Again, I like Judge, but he's done nothing (with many more opportunities) to prove he should play a lot more than JHR. They are both role playing bigs.

Yeah, Wally is a better passer, but that's about it.

And just imagine if Wally didn't have that three game stretch against terrible teams where Frank tried to make him the feature part of the offense/team. I just find it hard to complain about Wally/JHR when Frank has gone out of his way to give Wally a spot. Its really ridiculous.

_Fan has converted me since yesterday regarding JHR. Call him a necessary (but really adorable) evil, I guess.

Thanks, and I hope people don't misunderstand. I'm not advocating that JHR is one of our best post players, or even third best overall.  But he is 3rd right now.  He's a 3 star recruit, given his size/athleticism pretty much a project, and by midway through his SO year he's a serviceable role playing post. Pretty much what I'd hope, and we'll see what he becomes. But his play doesn't even register in a list of post disappointments right now.  

I'd list my top post disappointments like this:

1) The inconsistency, on and off the court season of Curtis Kelly. Preseason the hope was all-league level player and he's not. His up and down year has been a big factor in our year.
2) Our McD/5 star post not turning into one of our top 3 post players. Judge has all the measureables, looks good, but when he's banged around he plays soft, softer than JHR much of the time. One of the things I was hoping for was not necessarily Judge becoming all-league, but at least becoming similar to Samuels (numbers wise) during his FR year.
3) Asprilla being a wuss. His play on the court was about what I thought it would be, but I'm disappointed he didn't hang around. Depth is depth.
4) JamSam's struggles with his shot/scoring.  Last year he was a double figure scorer in nearly 2/3 of our games, this year less than 1/2. His rebounding and defense is actually slightly better, but I expected he'd at least maintain his ability to score and he's dropped off. Granted, some of that is likely related to #1.

He's been really consistent when he's on the court.  His suspensions are what hurt him (and the team).  Without Frank's myssuspensions (yes, that's Frank's fault) and a jaded girlfriend at Dillard's, he's fine.

He is our third best post player at the moment, that is what is awful.

Which isn't saying much since we only play 3 post players at the moment.

_Fan has converted me since yesterday regarding JHR. Call him a necessary (but really adorable) evil, I guess.
So, kinda like the discussion we had last year regarding Lou.

jhr wouldn't bother me if he didn't try to have an offense.  just get rebounds, be tall, and pass.  at least once a game he tries to drive it and he looks extremely awkward.

His aggression is what will make him a better player.

There are many dumbasses in this thread, like the facebook stalker.  The one universal quality that every good post player has on any level is aggression, you can't name a single good big in the history of basketball that is passive.

If Jordan doesn't get bulkier or improves his skill even a little he will become a better player because he will become smarter and more confident.  Jordan is everything Wally isn't, Wally has no potential because he's a wimp.

1) The inconsistency, on and off the court season of Curtis Kelly. Preseason the hope was all-league level player and he's not. His up and down year has been a big factor in our year.

He's been really consistent when he's on the court.  His suspensions are what hurt him (and the team).  Without Frank's myssuspensions (yes, that's Frank's fault) and a jaded girlfriend at Dillard's, he's fine.


Offensively, yeah.  Defense and rebounding, not as much. Still good most of the time, but not always consistent. Its why Frank hates him.

without looking up any stats whatsoever to backup this claim, it appears we are a lot better defensively overall when kelly is on the floor.  i think the threat of a legitimate shot blocker in there at least gives teams reason to think otherwise before making a drive.

He's had 7+ rebounds in 3 of 4 games since returning.  :ck:

I think Frank expects more out of him. Maybe unrealistic, I just watch Frank react to Curt and its often negative.

Frank reacts negatively to most things that most of our players do.

No he won't.

He's already better than he was last year.  His main problem is using his hands on defense.  He makes a lot of stupid fouls, and continuously gets called for reaching in away from the basket and blocking fouls when playing  "totem pole defense would be just as effective.  He is pretty decisive with the basketball even though those decisions are always the correct ones.  I don't really think he is a dumb player, I think he has pretty high bbiq, but his build and body movements make it seem otherwise.

No doubt. He is one of the best players on this team. He just goes through moments of inconsistency.

But like most post players, Kelly (and Samuels) have ceilings on the minutes they can play and still be effective, plus battling foul trouble. Since Kelly has been back, both he and Samuels are playing about 30 MPG. I like that Frank is staying with those two more, but that may be pushing it and allowing them to still maximize their time on the floor, both would probably be better at about 25-27 MPG each. That's where the Wally/JHR stuff comes in, it really shouldn't have to be either/or b/c it needs to be both. JHR at the 17 MPG he's played the last 3 games is the most I want to see him.  Idealy IMHO we would see Kelly and Samuels at around 27, then JHR and Judge split the rest which leaves about 13 MPG each. If one plays a few more minutes fine, but to play at the level Frank wants them to play, we need both. So hopefully both Frank settles down with his Judge PT and Judge gets whatever is holding him back figured out and we can see more of him. I just don't like seeing us only play 3 posts b/c Frank has always tried to play 4 guys there, at least in part.

If there was ever one thread title that could ever 100% entirely encapsulate the complexion of a message board...

Speaking of complexion, I had a pretty HBBIQ conversation with my mom last night.  She tells me, "I like that Will Spradling but he's got to get that face under control".
