Just for clarification, I'm the leader of this wagon. I'm not a vocal leader by any means. More of an example type of guy.
Myles will lead us through big 12 play. Mark it.
-
Better than Buchi?
-
I'm just hoping he can be the next Duane Davis.
-
He's kinda Chris Griffin'ish. Circa '97

Davis had much more upside. His injury/off court issues may have ended Tom's career at K-State.

Someone in my rough ridin' P.R. department is going down for leaking that crap. I haven't even had a chance to clean it up yet.

I was thinking he was more of a Adam Lopez type, but hey, I've been wrong before :dunno:

so juevol is now kilometer. this is really starting to shape up.
"spri"
"rodkey"
"kilometer"
only a few more and we'll have official nicknames for everybody.
wyatt-"kilometer off to rodkey. rodkey back to kilometer. kilometer dribble drive. dishes off to spri for the lay in."
stan-"great use of the pumpfake by spri again tonight. got his man to bite and it's another two points for the Q@tz. things are really rolling for the boys in black tonight"
wyatt-"yes they are stan"

Lopez was a quitter? I just thought it was pretty clear he wasn't near the player his brother was at Pepperdine(Tan Tom couldn't get that legacy thing to work) and it was a mutual parting of ways. Have no clue where he wound up after his 1 glorious season of Cat hoops. ... he played Mike Bibby straight up in HS though! :woot:

I am impressed.

Juevol Myles Bandwagon = The fastest (and shortest) bandwagon in the state this year!

Guys, I think he sucks and is the guy on the roster that is gonna be out next year. I don't know. Guess it's just me. Carry on.

-
Guys, I think he sucks and is this guy on the roster that is gonna be next year. I don't know. Guess it's just me. Carry on.
I think he's on the team almost exclusively because of his speed. It give us the potential to run the point like Denis last year. It remains to be seen if he can develop into even a fraction of the overall ballplayer that Denis became. I hope he does... but I'm not going to hold my breath.
-
Glad I'm not on this shitty wagon. "Hey everyone, lets get excited about Myles after Alcorn St!!" If you want to get excited about a mediocre-at-best player after playing mediocre against a shitty team, HenRob has been trying to get your attention for a couple years now
-
-Alcorn St is the only game he was permitted to get into a groove.
-He can actually dribble the ball and distribute it effectively. Unlike Doc, who appears to be dribbling with two right hands.
-He can penetrate and dish.
-He's got good speed.
-Sure his D is subpar, but Denis' was too. By big 12 play and when Frank acknowledges that Doc can't keep up with the faster athletes, he'll have to resort to play Kilomyles.
Sometimes you guys miss the obvious because you're trying to be too cool

I am not sold on any of this/have not seen it consistently. If you want to say the sample size is too small so say he can't do thest things, fair enough. But one game against probably our worst opponent yet will not convince me he can.

Lefty reelin em in left and right in this thread.
-
I can't wait to bump the crap out of this thread late February. I don't know what you followers have against the maple leaf, but the dude can play. The fact that Doc got used by Warshington St's guard, Duke's guards and picked up some quick fouls against Alcorn, proves my point that Doc is too slow to keep up. Doc is going to get eaten alive by Big 12 guards if he's going to be asked to run the team. Pullen played himself out of the point already. What's Frank supposed to do? What we saw against Alcorn was a tryout for Juevol. And to be Frank, he passed the test.
-
I'm with you Lefty, Canada is the only guy we have with enough handle to put pressure on a defense, he may not be good enough but he deserves a shot and he didn't fail in the Alcorn game.
-
He's not all that fast. :users:
-
He's pretty damn fast. Maybe a little too fast. Also, he's pretty much nothing like Griffen. People that say stupid crap like that probably never actually saw Griff play and were just trying to seem cool.
-
He's kinda Chris Griffin'ish. Circa '97
Griff was a hero. This Canadian guy has a long way to go. I'm not even sure he's real.

I like what you did there.

I have attended our last 2 games and watched Myles play and I think he is our best Point Guard. Even though he has not played a lot take a look at his production when he is on the court. I think the coaching staff knows it also, no matter who is on the court with him he plays PG; including when he is on with Will, Pull and Irving.
He is not as fast as Dennis was but he is damn fast and the fastest with the ball that we have, he shoots the 3 well and takes his man to the hole and finishes with contact. He shoots it well from the line; and God knows we need that. When big 12 play starts we will see a lot of real good, quick, aggressive guards and I think that Frank will play him more. With this teams run and gun style we could use him, we are not a half court walk up the ball team. Don’t be surprised if he becomes a starter by February.
I like this kid Myles a lot. He is also the most talkative guy weather he is on the bench or the floor. All Myles needs is more TP to continue to build his confidence
-
pullen is the best PG
-
superkat, that is a bold first post thread title. what are your thoughts on 95?
-
Pullen is our best player but Pullen is not a PG, when he was playing PG spot it was frustrating to him, did you see Duke Game? I think Frank realizes it and that’s why he doesn’t really play PG any more.
-
You should have titled this thread:
The Reason We Are mumped
-
I like the way he shoots free throws.
-
I like how HOT!! he is. Seriously, that dude is a stone cold FOX!!!
-
cas pointed out in chat that he looks like Geoffrey from Fresh Prince
-
Might have to go back and watch me some old FPOBA episodes and see for myself. Also, nice job using the "G" variation there. You just know that guy would.

This had more to do with him being outplayed by what was, before the Irving injury, the best backcourt in the country, and still could be even without him, rather than Pullen playing out of position. Sprads got time at the point in that game with Pullen playing off the ball during those stretches, and that didn't really increase his effectiveness during that game.
My take is that Pullen is still our best PG. When you take into account all the things you want a PG to bring to the table, ballhandling, good decision making, creating offense for himself and others, passing, I believe he has the best package of those skills above everyone else on our team.
The major dilemma is that he's also our best SG and the gap really isn't as close as it is at the PG spot. While he is a good penetrator and creator, his best skill and the most valuable asset he brings to the table is his ability to knock down spot up looks from deep in transition and those created for him in our halfcourt offense. Unfortunately, it's difficult to create those catch and shoot situations for him from deep when he's also our primary ballhandler and we don't really have anyone else on our roster who can duplicate his ability to make those shots, particularly when guarded.
So we're left searching the wilderness known as our roster for a PG who isn't necessarily a difference maker for us at that spot, but the guy who will hurt us the least.
I am encouraged by the progress Myles has shown in the last couple games and the possibility of offensive creativity he brings but he's really got to tighten up his handle and overall decision making if he's really going to be THE GUY for us at the point.
-
I should note that I think Juevol sucks balls and ballsacks and taints
-
there was a possession last night where they ran irving off picks to get him a baseline 3. he missed. looked ok shooting it.

keep in mine that juevol now has the beard going.
-
I like players that look smooth out there and well....he doesn't.
-
MAPLE LEAF!
-
I don't hate him as much as I thought I might.
-
This man has attended the last 2 basketball games. He obviously knows what he's talking about. (aboot?)
-
I only attended one of the last two gamesand I like Canada. I like him better than tay and nick.
want to see him and jake as combos.

Air Canada, Get Your Air Myles :fatty:

you can't tell anything from the last 3 games. see:jim wooldridge home non-cons

Pullen, Russell, and Irving are all better PG's than Myles.

I don't really have much of an opinion on this either way, but 95 needs hella more minutes. and probs his very own jersey as well.

95 looked great until last night. He looked completely lost on offense, then went down to the other side of the court and was completely lost there as well. Then got pulled until his minutes with Potz.
Thought I would hate Myles. WANTED to hate Myles. I may stop hating him completely if he starts making his shots when he drives to the basket.

myles was lost on offense some too. not as obvious since he's the pg and usually has the ball, but ojeleye was directing him on where to be a couple of times.
i'd prefer myles to stop putting his head down and driving blindly into traffic rather than him make those. making them would just encourage him.
-
I just want us to win. If Myles gives us the best opportunity to win ball games, I support that.
Looking like good foresight so far Lefty.
-
Tay is much better than Myles, tards.

All Myles needs is more TP to continue to build his confidence
Daris was ridiculously confident after TP told him to kill himself in the back.
-
He's kinda Chris Griffin'ish. Circa '97
Griff was a hero. This Canadian guy has a long way to go. I'm not even sure he's real.
remember when he was still a cougar and scored like 12 points against ucla or something. i mean, wow.

Bust it out. Juevol is 5 for 6 from behind the arc.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=41887
-
Juevol hasn't had enough playing time to make a final determination, but so far his numbers look more like a SG than a PG. His A/T ratio is only 1.0 but his true shooting pct is 77.6. No doubt this number will go down, but still, that's fantastic.
Compare his stats with our other PGs/combos:

I like it.

LOL at the Sprads haters.
i've been getting very tired of the "he's slow; can't defend" stuff. may attack those people soon. oth, i'm also disappointed with his offense lately. seemed to make better decisions and was more aggressive through the first 5 games or so than since.

He's hitting 3s again so I'm pretty good with Sprads' offense. I'm not sure the less agressive isn't by design.
-
Tired of it because you disagree, or tired of it because it's obvious?
disagree, and because it's stupid/based on stereotype rather than observation.
ex. - somehow when spradling gets beat it's 'cause he's slow while when russell gets beat it's because he doesn't practice intensely.
-
Tired of it because you disagree, or tired of it because it's obvious?
Its way exaggerated by our fanbase just like it was way exaggerated when it was said about Clemente.
This isn't to say that it doesn't happen, b/c it does, but a lot of that is b/c Sprads is actually trying to play defense the way he's asked to play it, just like Clemente did. He wouldn't consistently get minutes like he does otherwise; there is a reason that he's only had 2 games all year where he played less than 17 minutes and only 4 under 20 minutes.
-
I'm not sure the less aggressive isn't by design.
you're probably right.

i thik it's just a low experience vs more minutes thing. the more time he's getting the more mistakes he makes.
-
Sprads isn't slow but he isn't fast. He needs to play faster bringing the ball up the floor. He started off well in this respect but I think the Duke game messed with him. I'm of the opinion that Russell should be starting w/ Pullen in the back court.

I like Russell, but I've seen nothing to show me he needs more minutes at PG.
And Sprads does fine pushing the ball and is probably our 2nd best passer (behind Pullen) on the break.

Tired of it because you disagree, or tired of it because it's obvious?
disagree, and because it's stupid/based on stereotype rather than observation.
ex. - somehow when spradling gets beat it's 'cause he's slow while when russell gets beat it's because he doesn't practice intensely.
Gotcha.
However, I'm not convinced Russell isn't slow too. :dunno:
-
can I stick with the "all of our guards get beat off the ball way too much" talking point? i don't discriminate.
-
Sprads isn't slow but he isn't fast. He needs to play faster bringing the ball up the floor. He started off well in this respect but I think the Duke game messed with him. I'm of the opinion that Russell should be starting w/ Pullen in the back court.
I like Russell, but I've seen nothing to show me he needs more minutes at PG.

don't care if Russell is playing PG or not when he's on the floor with Pullen

Fair enough.
My problem with Russell is that Frank seems to be doing everything possible to try to get him minutes and Russell seems to be doing everything possible to not earn them.

i think russell is prolly a touch slower than spradling. but i don't think either is particularly slow (or a particularly bad defender; not good, but not consistently & notably bad).
more than anything, i don't think footspeed is terribly well correlated with defensive performance. pullen didn't get any faster between his freshman to junior year.

I'm okay with all of that.

Also okay with this, which is why I was trying to redirect dax's backdoor cuts anger to where it belongs: on-ball defense.

Will may not be that fast but I think he makes up with his hustle and basketball IQ.

don't forget floor burns, grit, heart etc.

Intangibles. My Sister's friend said that he has huge intangibles. HUGE.

All I want is Will to slap both hands on the floor on D once, just once!

Myles has a weird shot. Almost like Billy Thomas or something.

He's kinda Chris Griffin'ish. Circa '97
Griff was a hero. This Canadian guy has a long way to go. I'm not even sure he's real.
remember when he was still a cougar and scored like 12 points against ucla or something. i mean, wow.
remember when he pinned a Jacque Vaughn layup in the Bram in '97 - easily his KSU career highlight IMO

Would make an amazing gif.
Movie idea if this ever happens. He slaps the floor, and all the opposing players immediately teeter and fall like his slapped shakes the court and knocks them down. Then Sprads roars in triumph.
Would love this.

Yes. Develops slow and comes way back and down.
