I bet he doesn't get the conference POW, will be hilarious considering the two he's already won.

I feel like that’s the exact look I would have given had I not seen that gif and began laughing.

I love Rodney, but he doesn't exactly go create his own shot a lot. Now, he gets shots off of screens and picking up trash, occasionally gets shots on his little driving 10-15 footers, but he isn't exactly creating his own shots a ton. I think the comparison would be with Marcus Smart, that guy can go out and get his own shot.

I think most of you know exactly what oscar meant though.

Who does he think can step up and fill this need?  Lebron?

The most obvious choice to create (for himself or others) is Angel. I think Rodney can do it a bit (see penetration and kicks to Nino), but has limitations.

I don't think we really have that guy, but most teams in the Big 12 don't.

marcus smart is a lottery pick. 99% of college basketball teams don't have a marcus smart, so i don't think that is the comparison. i also think you are bad at comparisons.

Pulls could get his own shot too.

Ya, Pulls created his own shot all the time. I bet Rodney got a lot of confidence after this game.

Meh, each comparison had flaws, but the point of each comparison can be easily understood. Doesn't mean you have to agree.

"He obviously had a special game. He's the face of our program," K-State head coach oscar Weber said. "It's probably been him and (Kansas super freshman) Ben McLemore most of the games, I guess. Other teams might have a little more balance whereas we have a couple star-power guys. I'm not sure."

I don't think he has much confidence in front of cameras. I think he's unsure of himself.
