he's not a spot up shooter. he's been a guy that has shot off the dribble all his life. and i completely disagree with the people saying he can't play at this level or that his skills or athletic ability limits him to a marginal role. his inability to perform this year (and by perform, i mean shoot) is inexplicable, except perhaps by cowardice.

Watching Sprads struggle has been frustrating, and his inability to hit shots has hurt this team, but I agree with Chings that at some point he will turn the corner. It may not be this year completely, though I think he still has at least one 4-6 from 3 game coming. And I agree with sys, that given what he had done up until the Big 12 season this year, his performance in conference games is about as inexplicable performance by a K-State player than I've seen in a long time, maybe ever. I don't necessarily think he's an all-league caliber player, but he's a good player and has ability to shoot 3s at a clip in the high 30s and be a double digit scorer. And he's going to be a 25 MPG guy (minimum) the rest of his career; I'm positive he'll find his shot/scoring ability again. Hopefully sooner than later.

Sure he will, next year. At this point it has to be more mechanical than mental, he needs the off season to regroup.

does this really need to be clarified. as confident as i am that angel will be 1st or 2nd team all conference when it's all said and done i'm as confident Spradling won't ever be considered.

his 4-6 game will probably be tonight. he showed up last time against A&M so there might be something there. also he's played well at Sprint Center so we might be surprised in the conference tourney.

I'm not Will's Mom, but I doubt either of those things will help him shoot better.

Mitch Holthus compared him to Steve Henson on Saturday.

I would take Brian Henson at this point.

Hopefully Sprads will improve next season and be the player we need him to be. We all know Angel is going to improve next season.

I want to get excited about our starting backcourt next year. It has the potential to be pretty good offensivly, but we cant have a weak link in the trio

Did you see the 3 that bounced 3 times off the rim and went in. HE'S BACK!

I think I hate Will playing more than I hate Jamar's dumshittiness out there now...that should tell you something Frank

Also, no

Will ha held Middleton to zero points in 2nd half Reply

He plays winning basketball and anyone with at least 50 IQ understands why. There is reason he plays 35 minutesa game.

You have zero clue aboutwinning basketball and Will's contributions. None.

He guards everybody when they go off

Yep, ednksu or fuktard will claim to watch the game and chart each possession to claim otherwise

kso_FAN · « **Reply #373 on:** February 28, 2012, 08:32:41 PM »

2 things...

1. Sprads isn't as bad as many make him out to be, tonight's game was not where he needs to be, but was better.

2. It's clear Frank loves (LOVES) and trusts Sprads a lot, so get used to him playing a lot. Even if shooting terrible.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #374 on:** February 28, 2012, 08:34:21 PM »

I did appreciate (and agree with) Fran's point that perhaps Sprads is playing too many minutes.
