Title: Deathbite "Deathbite"
Post by: ksupamplemousse on January 13, 2016, 09:33:44 AM
Point guard of the future or not? Kid seems to have pretty good handles, doesn't really have bad turnovers, and there are nights where he can't miss. On the other hand, I can probably count on my digits the number of times he has gotten past his man and made something happen at the rim, he is just not a kid that can penetrate and make things happen. Seems like an undersized shooting guard (streaky one at that) who has been forced to play point...thoughts?

I think he's more of a combo like Jake, but not quite the same level of scoring/ability to get to the rim. I think he can handle it though, solid assist numbers and A:TO is decent.

trying to remember jake finishing at the rim as a freshman and if i remember correctly he didn't.  he'd get to the goal and dump the ball and then coach would get mad and put him back on the bench.  it wasn't until frank pi'd him into finishing that jake started to take it stronger to the rack.

maybe i'm making this up though, it's been a while

Nope, Jake was def not a rim finisher early on.  He loved to dump on his drives.

the point is that comparo'ing jake the finisher to deathbite the freshman isn't a good comparo

deathbite the freshman is playing much better than i expected and he's playing a shitload of minutes (3rd on the team)

And, he has already had two or three legitimately big games(not just for a frosh) as a frosh.

There is absolutely no reason to play him Wednesday unless he is 100%.  Let him rest for Oklahoma Saturday.

Typically someone in pain isn't rebounding under the basket during warm ups, huh?

Well, since you apparently aren't physically active, let me explain it to you. It is possible to experience pain while doing something lightly active. You see pain isn't a static event, it can fluctuate, sometimes doctors ask you to place your pain on a scale from 1-10. This is going to sound crazy but it's also possible to either take a pill, have something rubbed on you, or get an injection of something that helps you manage pain. I can understand if you hadn't heard of these things, in the relative course of the history of the universe these things are new.

Jesus MIR give it a rest, we get it you like being over the top about things. Sorry 101 didn't specify "in so much enough pain to not take rebounds." Were you born an bad person or did you have to work on it?

ksu101 was presented with the diagnosis in this thread, ignored it and started to speculate about how Stokes doesn't even look like he's in pain. Then he kept at it, he deserves to be PI'd, and if you keep defending him then you do too.

Any decent trainer, or student assistant trainer for that matter, would not have allowed him to be in the warm up line if it caused any "discomfort", let alone pain.  It's far more likely they want him to avoid sudden movements at this point.  I would guess that he is cleared for lite duty, so he was in warm ups.  There can often be a significant amount of time in between lite duty and cleared for competition.  Wouldn't be surprised if he played this weekend, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was held out until march.

you're prolly not going to be surprised by this, but he's already had surgery to repair his torn patellar tendon.  you may be surprised to find out that that information is contained in this very thread, about 10 posts back.

I work on it, I deleted a few potential posts because they weren't biting enough before I settled on that one, pretty happy with it. Thank you.

Right. These dudes are crying at me, as if I care, when the dude hinted that Stokes wasn't hurt TWO posts after it was revealed that he had a torn patella.

You may be surprised to hear that has no affect on my comment, and that when you don't see something in person you can still comment on what you read.  You may also be surprised to hear I have no issue with MIR's posts, even the deleted ones.  You may also be surprised to hear that if it was actually torn and not sprained he would not be standing without aid if surgery was yet to be completed.

You shouldn't be surprised to hear that sarcasm is best reserved for knowing what the eff you're talking about.
