Title: Play Wally for 40 minutes vs. ISU?

Assuming he doesn't foul out.

Thanks, Wally.

We're behind you.

I Couldn't have been more impressed with Judge tonight.  That put-back dunk was insane.  Not sure why he hasn't seen more minutes this season, except against KU.

We're not getting any better playing Luis.

It's not too late.

To get something out of great players, you play them. That's all it takes.

hoping Frank gave McGruder and Judge the last 7 games off to give them a rest and a 2nd wind for the post season.   :crossfingers:

Judge's quickness and athleticism is unreal for a guy that is 6-10.  If the game ever slows down for him we will get to the rim at will in the paint against most other big guys.  He just doesn't have the footwork yet to attack like he should.

He is starting to get his footwork. He had a few turnarounds last night that he moved pretty well on.

My concern with Wally is his rebounding. There were a few times last night were he went to box out and his guy simply moved him or went around him. There was also a time or two that he simply didn't try to box out.

He needs more minutes, but this type of thing has to be why he hasn't been getting them. Frank is all about D and boards.

I don't see why people can't see this.  This is THE reason he doesn't play consistently IMO.  At times the Morris twins pushed him around like an 8th grader.

Granted, I'll take what Judge gave us tonight, especially in the 1st half, b/c we'll need it.  But planning on much out of Judge more than 10, maybe 15 minutes a game right now is silly.  But we need that solid 10-15, no doubt.

I think we ignore his flaws because we want him to be amazing. The up-side for this guy is off the charts. The fan-base as a whole just wants this guy to be all he can.

No doubt, and he will be amazing, but he's got a ways to go.

The good thing is we're in position to let him develop.  We don't have to rely on him to carry us, or even be a major contributor this year, but as he develops, especially if he can give us good minutes next week and in the torn-a-ment, then it only helps us.  Next year he can take on a Jam-Sam role, then by his JR year be a star at K-State.

Especially last night, where they showed replays of Wally whiffing on box outs multiple times.

But I have to admit, the allure of plays like the follow-jam is pretty intense.

As the +/- clearly shows. Wally was one of our better players last night and Lu was our worst.

He hadn't played in a game in like 2 weeks... of course he's going to be a little rusty.  In practice he has no one physical to go up against, don't give me colon, so he's not gaining any experience playing against tough guys on the bench.

No way.  Probably 15-20.  Max.

I'm hoping Wally can take over Jam-Sam's role; come of the bench after 3-4 minutes, play 15-20 mpg, and be a 10-8 kind of guy.
Title: Re: Play Wally for 40 minutes vs. ISU?

probably not 25.  but i bet and hope it's closer to 25 than 15.  would love to see jhr completely frozen out.


it'll be interesting to see what they do with samuels.  so far the move to the 3 has been more hype than reality (and the reality part has been more failure than success).  but next year there certainly looks to be a lot more minutes in the backcourt than in the frontcourt.  it has to be tempting to just shift everyone down, but then you end up with a pretty poor ball handling team.  dunno.

Kelly, Jam-Sam, Sutton, Pullen and ???? Is one of the freshman this year going to pick it up for next year (can a hbbiq person tell me if mcgruder could ever play a guard or will he be stuck as a Dom role)

I'd like Irving bringing the ball up with Pullen at mostly the 2.  I don't think the other froshes could handle both ends of the floor.

Trying to envision a lineup where Wally is the 3...(prefer he be facing the basket, exclusively)

But I also believe in Jamar at the 3...

Rodney's fine at the 2. Rebounding would be fantastic.

Don't want to leave out Dom...

Jake
Rodney
Dominique
Wally
Curtis

Leave Jamar as 6th...

Bring in Freddy/Jordan at the end of the half so Jamar/Wally/Curtis don't pick up 3.

Post by: CNS on March 04, 2010, 09:52:05 PM
If Russell doesn't turn into a man this off season, Jake will def be our point(assuming no 2010 Frosh is much more than they seem to be).

I haven't seen anything from Irving to make me think he could be serviceable at point. Huge step down from Denis.

Jake at point, Irving/McGruder at 2. Both of whom will need to work on their three ball in the off season.  Much more likely for those two to slightly improve their trey, then for Irving's handles to get where they need to be to play point.

No offense boys, but I have concluded that it is a syndrome of the KSU fanbase to go full Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) everyonce in a while.

Even in a safe zone like this place - whereever Kats engage in group think, full Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) eventually hits.  :dunno:

messes with my head thinking about wally and playing time.  because i dont really see many games if any we lose playing wally a bunch (certainly over colon) but do the extra minutes = defensive development?  seems like u learn more on the court than off.  just fail to see the downside.
