I really like his zeal
-
me too. I also like it when he makes 3's
-
I like how he rebounds
-

me too, winters. me too.
-
I like his length and studliness and how he is learning to use it.
Oh.... and THREEEEEEE!
-
He's just Wunderful.
-
Love the kid, I'm afraid he is going to chuck up and go 0-5 from 3 next game
-
He is going to be a well rounded player. Has great handles for his size, moves very well, rebounds, threes, etc. Get a little muscle and experience and he could be a very tough match up.

I'm not the first person to say this, but it bears repeating... Wesley is Shane 2.0.

Not the ball handler/passer. He doesn't have the ability to slide to PG if needed.
Wesley is Tim Ellis 2.0 IMHO.

I also think he is more naturally suited to production in the post. Shane has been successful as our stretch 4, but I think that has more to do with the offense we run being more guard oriented than shane actually being able to play a traditional 4 role. With some muscle added to the frosh Westicles, I think he could do more as a stretch 4 than shane and still have the handles and shot to extend out as needed.

I don't view Shane as a good ball handler.
And, freshman Wes is light years ahead of freshman Shane, IMHO.

Wes is an above average ball handler for his position and has brought the ball up the court several times. His style may be a little more similar to Ellis', but Wes is much taller/longer.
We also didn't get to see Ellis at 18 y/o like we did Shane. It's hard to make accurate comparisons to a guy that we didn't see until his body/game was more developed.

Shane is a very good ball handler for a guy that doesn't play traditional guard. Shane is a tweener. A jack of all trades but master of none. It is good coaching that has created the opportunity for shane to do what he has done, imo.

Good points. My comparison was mainly in terms of their style of play.
Shane reminds me more of Akeem Wright.

Westicles reminds me a lot of Westicles its uncanny really
-
I don't think it will be the case, but Westicles's 3PT shooting did bring back memories of Sutton vs Nebraska in the OOD, though that game (besides Dom's shooting) was unexpected on a lot of levels.

yeah, and Dom's jumper looked considerably better than Westicles's at this point.
I think we are going to be disappointed if we expect Wes to replicate what Shane developed into, he just doesn't have the length or size to defend Big 12 post players. I hope he puts in the time and adds a little more arc on his jumper and develops into a very effective wing player.

Westicles reminds me of sophomore in high school Michael Jordan.. Yeah he got cut his freshman year but man he worked his ass of in the offseason! He's good at this point, not great. But could greatness come??.. ITS POSSIBLE!

Wes is Jamar. :dunno:

The "Michael Jordan got cut" story is one of the most ridiculous stories ever. Jordan was just like the majority of freshman basketball players and didn't make his varsity/jv team, he still played freshman basketball at his high school and was probably pretty good.
/end/sorry
-
Wesley reminds me a lot of Lola Bunny in Space Jam.. Sure he has the skills and a little bit of swagger but he's going to get monstared on by bigger opponents.

According to this, it was actually Jordan being on the JV as soph - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193740/index.htm (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193740/index.htm)

Thanks for finding/posting that. I remember reading that and forgot it was SO, not FR.

To be fair though, we're used to hearing about eventual superstars playing varsity all four years. Some make it as 8th graders.

True, especially now. But Jordan in high school wasn't that far removed from when freshman didn't even play in college, just a much different time.

this is a great post. only y-l_a comes up with stuff like this, folks.

I doubt he starts making 3s at a consistent rate, but I think Westicles has a OK stroke from 3pt. I never liked Sutton's stroke from deep (for whatever reason)
I think a key is for Westicles to only shoot 3s when he is wide open. Last year, when Shane started shooting 3s, a lot of them were wide open shots because he was playing that stretch 4 and the big on him was not really concerned about going out there to guard him
All 3 of Westicles's 3s were from the wing. Maybe that can be his comfort spot. Remember, Jamar always loved to shoot 3s from top of the key.

Apparently our guy (oscar Juice) said he's grown 2 inches since he first came to campus. That puts him at 6'8" and still growing... :love:

They have a machine that streches players out an inch or two. it's part of oscar's recruiting strategy. He goes after guys that no one wants and strecthes their height out with this machine. - B+ Source :surprised:
-
his defense has improved enormously throughout the season to this point. he turned from a full time liability to a guy I want in at the end.
*lbbiq

He's so good @ :alleyoop:

i was heartbroken that his dunk didn't go down :cry:

It might have even outshone Foster's dunk against that Stockton kid. :horrorsurprise:

I like to call him Wesley "That-one-dude" during games because it sounds like Westicles. Feel free to go ahead and try it.

Do you guys know how oscar recruited Westicles? Here is the story from an A- source:
oscar was gaming at home, source says CoD B (for oscar) Ops II, Chet calls oscar on the cell phone while oscar is still wearing the 1/2 headset that came with his Xbox. Just as oscar was putting the finishing touches on some internet pud dude, Chet says, "oscar, we got room for one more. Who should I get?" Well, at that moment, the last bullet leaves Bruces AK47 and it is game over for the internet sucker who thought he could beat #DJBrucieBruce,YEAH" and oscar yells into the Xbox headset, "I WON DUDE!" and jumped out of his bean bag and accidentally hung up on Chet. Chet, being the stud recruiter that he is, uses the google to search out who "IWONDUDE" is and low and behold, Westicles is now a K-State PurpleCat.
Cats, man. Cats.

Sounds like he is basically growing into a more badass version of Kevin Durant. Will take.

It would have been easily top 2 or 3 on SCTop10 purely for the fact that it was a mirror image of Jordan't famous dunk with his legs stretched out and such...except that WI didn't jump from the FT line
