Title: Who gets the vote for "most pathetic" today
Post by: Powercat Posse on March 08, 2012, 01:33:21 PM
1) Angel =   playing like a loose cannon.   Getting beat off of the dribble all day, trying to reach from behind for steals.  Stupid high school TOs trying to do too much

2) Samuels =  0 rebounds.   0 rebounds.  0 rebounds.   Gave zero help to JO inside.

3) Spradling = 2-9 FGs, 3 TOs,  Angel's tag team partner when it comes to crappy defense on the perimeter today

4) Gipson = barely played, but messed up something almost every possession he was in there

5) Whole rough ridin' team (except JO) when it comes to Rebounding.     JO 14 Reb.   Everyone else 10 reb.

I think 'tay played fairly well today.  He did what he needed to do.  Will & Shane were brutal.  Angel definately had some relapses.  Guard play is important in the post-season...does not bode well for us : (

Will, which I think mean Will he ever shoot with confidence from behind the arc again?

As soon as I saw him pass up an open three in the early minutes of the game, I knew he would remain a pussy.

No...Will reached his peak last year.  He will always suck at Defense and always struggle to find his shot.  #TeamAngel

Number 5.

We got killed on the boards, I agree. There were a long of long Orebs for Baylor though. I can't fault anyone for that.

I just hope we aren't 1 and done in the NCAA.

JO played great.  Will should probably be put out of his misery.  Martavious had some nice minutes off the bench. Rodney played like crap, Angel was up and down, Jamar wasn't even on the floor as far as I could tell.

Will had a lot of shots that almost went in! Also lots of his floater misses were o-boarded. WILL TAKE

Agree Rodney played worse than Angel but we can't hate our precious Rodney now can we.

Maybe Frank should "shut Will down" like they do to starting pitchers at the end of a baseball season. Just give him the rest of the year off.

Maybe Will was still battling the emotional hurt caused by Trim?

I know I shouldn't because he's just a freshman undersized big who has given us some good games, but I've really been getting quite angry at Gip over the last few games. He has an amazing ability to not be in the right place and not grab rebounds.

Trim was a dick, but Will's reaction says it all. A player who is capable of ever being good would have shoved Trim down the stairs for that.

Yep. It was right before the possession where he got his pocket picked by QUINCY ACY, which was right before the possession where he bricked (yet another) wide open jumper.

Great Will stretch right there.

On the other hand, 'Tay had 9 pts, 3 rebs, and an assist in 15 minutes.

I really don't blame our guys for wanting to avoid the Baylor/KU/Missouri combo for the third time this year.  I mean who really wants to play three games like that and then go into the NCAA tournament?  We don't have a team who can play at 65% effort and still win ball games.

Martavious has no spot on a legit basketball team though (other than the spot he has on ours).  He got some kind of rep. with our Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) fans as a good defender.  He's a sub 6 ft. shooting guard that isn't a great shooter.  If he's in the game Frank is going to have Angel out.  Frank will not have them in the game at the same time.  It's going to be Angel/Shane or Will/Tay.  Of those two Angel/Shane is by far our better lineup if only for Angel to be able to push the ball.  I like him in his fill minutes role now.  He can help us, we are in trouble if we can't come up with a better starting 2 though.

You gave me four minutes to respond before this? Geez..

I disagreed with the Tay has no spot on a legit team. He's show to be a better shooter than Will over most of the season, he doesn't turn the ball over compared to Angel, and he doesn't look like a dumbass dribbling the ball like Shane does. He drives with authority and has the physical skills to go right at post players, where the other 3 don't (Angel can at times).

Who cares if his D sucks? Between the four of them, they all suck at defense. Does it really matter if Jackson is blowing by Angel, Will or Tay? What's your point?

The optimal 1-2 is Angel/Tay.

Will and Angel don't suck at defense. You don't have the second best defense in the Big 12 with two players sucking for 30 minutes/game.

I guess my point is there's no discernible difference in all of them.

i don't think will is very good at defense. 

he might be the weakest of our starters. 

so you can be 2nd best defense in the b12 with a weak defender.

I would put Will at average at worst. He is really good away from the ball.* *important.

I think Tay deserves about 22-25 minutes.  In conf he’s averaged about 17 minutes.  I’m not sure what difference that makes.  But Tay deserves more minutes and Will less. 

I think the issue with Tay getting more minutes is that he’ll get exposed (this is some weird thing called diminishing returns, I think) with more minutes because he’ll have to play (longer) with a lineup that might not fit him or where he he's not "protected".  For an example of this, see soph Will Spradling.

Lots of pathetic-ness on our part today, but I will admit that Baylor is supremely talented compared to us. That being said our physicality and aggressiveness typically make up for the talent gap. Today neither was there. JO is really the only guy that deserves some praise.

Pierre Jackson is tough to keep in front and our bigs just did not help in that regard after he blew by whichever guard was on him.

Also, surprisingly, Baylor's switch to man to man (for what seemed like the entire 2nd half) really was a good coaching move by Drew (I hate typing those words).

We'll end up an 8 or 9 seed, which is better than most on this board ever thought we would be...

I know I've put you in a tough spot.  After two no-answer posts you either have to tuck tail and run or put some kind of bullshit post down.  I don't envy your position but I respect how hard you are defending it.

You gave me four minutes to respond before this? Geez..

I disagreed with the Tay has no spot on a legit team.
I said he doesn't have a spot other than what he is for us currently which is a spot minute undersized 2 (because we have no better option)
He's show to be a better shooter than Will over most of the season
Will's a better shooter, you know that
he doesn't turn the ball over compared to Angel
They don't play the same position, he also doesn't bring to the table what angel does at his position
and he doesn't look like a dumbass dribbling the ball like Shane does
ok
He drives with authority and has the physical skills to go right at post players, where the other 3 don't (Angel can at times).
Angel is much better at driving and seeing his players on the drive. I like Martavious attacking the basket.
Who cares if his D sucks?
Me and everyone else that wants to win
Between the four of them, does it really matter if Jackson is blowing by Angel, Will or Tay? What's your pointhey all suck at defense.
Martavious can't guard his position depending on the matchup. He's too short to be a consistent 2 guard defender. Will and Angel are good on the ball, Martavious isn't
The optimal 1-2 is Angel/Tay.
Would like to see it in action to make a judgement. Could be good depending on matchups

At what point in the season do we admit that Will ain't coming out of his shooting slump? In his limited minutes, Tay has proven to be a better shooter. 45% (Tay) compared to 36% (Will) compared to 36% (Angel) for the year. If you guys want to keep arguing about which defender sucks the most, go ahead.

Agreed.  He will get better.  he pretty much has to given that he will be working out and playing under professional supervision for two more years and offseasons.  However, everyone's ceiling is diff.  Will's ceiling may be strictly a passable shooter with hard effort defense.  Right now he is a victim of expectations built by our staff.

What I am saying is that Frank started building Will up immediately after last year's play ended.  It just sucks that all that was basically just a challenge to Will and Will's ability isn't the level you would expect given the size of challenge.

I'm rough ridin' up my good karma because I think 'Tay is better than Spradling?  Untuck the shirt, bro.

did your post even say that?  I rough ridin' agree.  Will sux.

I think the Tay v Will issue will change with a more reliable/consistent Angel.

I'm concerned about this.  Not that angel won't get better, but how much by next year?  I dunno.  If there was any year for frank to hit a Pierre Jackson in the spring, it would be this year.

Given Angel's gains just this season you gotta be able to say that it will at least be better.  How much?  I get it.

Frank has spent many an interview telling all tuning in how much of a leader will is,how much ability he has, and how he is the future of the team.  It is not stupid to hear that from a head coach and expect that player to do well.

Pro tip: coaches spew pure bullshit in interviews, especially when they mention "leadership"

So....what's the juice?  What are us idiots missing?   We are too stupid to get it.  Just a bunch of morons who never played.  Tell all of the dumbasses here what's up.  Not too much to ask because I just paid money to watch Will miss every shot he took and play dogshit defense.  I admit, I never played basketball like Ben or you and all you guys who know basketball. 

Easy, hot shot. I'm not saying he didn't suck today, I'm saying Frank doesn't think Will is a rough ridin' star or something. People seem to think Frank is expecting him to be Pullen or something when absolutely nothing has shown that to be the case.

1)  no way Will should be playing 32-35 minutes in a game .............. If he is playing very well (most games he has not) then playing him 30 is fine.

2) Tay needs to get minutes (probaly under 20 but by no meens should the number be 10-12).   Needs to get more minutes when Will is sucking.

look at frank's guard lineups.  you can't say less will without saying less martavious.  you can't say more martavious without saying more will.  I'm not saying this is what it should be but Jones injury basically made this what it is with frank.  angel does not play with martavious much.  will does not play with shane much.  Now, this could go back to the angel/martavious should play together talking point which is fine.  but realize what it is.

Agreed, this absolutely looks to be the floor for a Frank team. Of course the ceiling might be 2/3 more Big 12 wins. I can live with that.

steve, I would like to see 'Tay and Angel start along with McGruds, JamSam, and JO.  Give Spradling 15-20 minutes a game and play your starters for 30+ minutes a game.  Frank needs to quit with the musical chairs and figure out his best lineup. 

I appreciate you engaging yourself in EMAW basketball talk, but any k-state fan that has been half paying attention quit this talking point long ago; Frank will never play his starters like that because he likes depth and mind games and most of all everyone busting their ass in practice knowing that even if they sat out all of last weeks game, they just may get 20 minutes this week. It is what it is.
