Sprads is meeting my expectations, and I bet he exceeds them. I feel like quite a few of you owe me an appology about Sprads. Those are my feelings, and I am entitled to them.
Jeff Allen's intentional foul in the first half on Tuesday seemed to adversely affect the officials, who over officiated and called charge after charge despite the fact that Will Spradling rarely had his feet set. (The charge on Erick Green was an embarrassing mistake by the official.)

Did a great job of eating minutes and not screwing up until we could get Pullen back, which is nice. But it's not anything to get too excited about.

For the foul in question Will was clearly sliding into the other player's path. Bravo, since it worked, but a terrible call.

QFT. I counted 8 JYCAs from Spaulding yesterday!
his assist/to ratio is infinity/0To be fair, the team shot like .25 the first half when he got most of his minutes. Of course, that could be a sign he isn't effective running the offense.
Solid, steady, mistake free. Basically everything you don't expect from a FR in the 2nd game of his career against a veteran, physical Top 25 team.
As others have alluded to, the offensive creativity isn't there (yet?) but he's shaping up nicely to be a" take care of the ball, take what the defense gives you" backup PG this year.

That one he went coast to coast on was pretty nifty, though.

This continues to prove my point that the statistic assist is as useless (if not more useless) than the statistic "error" in MLB. The other SD is dead on in his analysis re: offensive boards.

3 star because of two reasons...He’s white. This isn’t an ignorant comment either; at least two HS bball evaluators said he would be rated 5 stars if he was playing ball in a more known area and was black. I guess it’s like the Toby Gerhart syndrome. Sad, but it’s the prejudice 99% of people have.

exactly, PG is to PF as SS is to RF the more opportunities for "assists" the less useful the statistic
A stat based on who had the ball before someone else who does something good with it is not very helpful, unless you're John Stockton reneging a contract. Especially when you consider our bigs do nothing but miss layups and draw fouls (and then miss FT's).
Quotehis assist/to ratio is infinity/0To be fair, the team shot like .25 the first half when he got most of his minutes. Of course, that could be a sign he isn't effective running the offense.
Bingo!
Point guards create opportunities for others in the offense. That's why assists are tracked. Spradling created almost nothing on the offensive end.
He isn't strong enough to dribble penetrate and dish when the defense collapses. This much is obvious. But, I think he did a fine job of handling the ball, distributing, and moving the ball to open flashers/cutters. If Judge, Asprilla, JHR, and Samuels can't hit the broad side of the barn, that's their fault. Had they even made 3-4 of their missed shots in the first half, we shoot +50% instead of 36% and we aren't discussing Sprads' inability to "create shots."
This is not how you beat a zone. Which is why we're impressed with him. Ball movement is the key to beating a zone and that's what he did. It is very hard to assist to the post at the very beginning of a set. Most post entries come from a wing.He isn't strong enough to dribble penetrate and dish when the defense collapses.

We agree. I think he has to dribble penetrate for us to be effective. He didn't really try to.
But I don't blame the bigs as much as you. Judge and Asprilla only took 3 shots each in the entire game. Why weren't they getting the ball?

To clarify, dribble penetration can in fact defeat a zone; it just isn't the only way, and not necessarily the most reliable way.

Meanwhile Spradling took 6 and hit 2 (one was a layup in transition). JHR was 5-6 from the floor. Samuels was 4-13 but got fouled on four of those nine misses and went to the line.

This could be my LBBIQ showing, but regarding Samuels, I was always under the assumption that if you were fouled on a shot and missed, it didn't count as a shot statistically. Anyone?
......How about Sprads??
Here's how the true freshman PG on the team we probably play next Tuesday attacks a zone:

So would I. Especially b/c Pullen can dribble with his left hand. We could put White Doberman (WD) on the right side of the court and Pullen on the left. We'll be screwed if WD needs to dribble to the top of the key, but that's not really part of our offense anyway. So, we'll be fine. amirite? :dunno:

Yes. Its pretty clear from all the games we've seen that Sprads has no handles, and now that more film gets out there on him you'll continue to hear opponents coaches yelling "make him go left". He's done a great job faking it so far though, I'll give him credit for that.

i never said he has no handles. he is noticeably more comfortable going to his right. perhaps it is because he is a freshman facing better/quicker competition, i dont know. he is clearly doing well i was only trying to point out that its an area he needs to improve upon before conference season, even if its just getting used to D1 ball or if its confidence issue.

No one's saying he equals Clemente or even Pullen as a frosh. But you should still be very happy with what you've seen from him.

Michigancat just cut off your balls treysolid. How will you respond?
It's going to be tough rooting for Sprads with klanswomen like the one a few rows up from us but in Section 18 going nuts for him and royalswild's buddy, and getting upset whenever they're subbed out.

Not sure who you are referring to here, Jordan and Victor? Two isn't several.
Irving shot 24% from 3 and Russell shot 22% from three last year, so I'm not going to declare them "pretty good" just yet. We'll see on Spradling.
And seriously, look at the profiles of the guards he recruits. Pretty much all of them can get to the rim and can't shoot. Or Art feeds him to us.

I don't think it's unreasonable for those guys to shoot in the low 30s. Jake made similar improvements over his career. Now, I'm not saying they will be Jake, but go through a similar improvement curve shooting the ball, it's not like they have terrible shots.
Welk Spradling?
Another angle is that it was revealed in the media guide that his middle name is Sadler. :surprised:
