this whole "try hard" vs "not try hard" argument reminds of all the morons who voted for Tyler Hansbrough instead of Michael Beasley for POY 

Beasley tried very hard on the court, though. He was a much harder worker than Hansbrough.

So, you're saying Bryce is like the runner up to the POY and Hubert is the POY?

No. I'm saying Hubert is just better than Bryce. So is every other starting running back in the big 12, though.

[Fldermaus]

what the eff is going on here?

Bryce is a reverse aging alien.  Others debating the running back credentials of Larry Johnson.  Still others hating LHC LHC Bill Snyder. 

This should be the first post on every page of this thread.

He was a very good defender, but he wasn't always working hard, and definitely wasn't as good as he could have been.

But Frank managed him beautifully.

You have to work incredibly hard to make getting that many rebounds look that easy.

You have to work incredibly hard to make getting that many rebounds look that easy.

Or have really good instincts.

Rebounding is not an instinct. It's an acquired skill. It's also the biggest "hustle stat" in basketball.

I know. He was a great rebounder, which is a tremendous skill and requires a lot of work. But it's not just getting rebounds, it's everything he did. He rarely, if ever took charges for example. Granted, I think that was by design, but lets not kid ourselves and say Beasley was going balls-to-the-walls on every play.

Listen this is going to be tuckish but I don't give a eff anymore. This kid wanted to get paid out of high school. He was telling colleges that he'd go to Canada and play so he could get paid right away. His entourage has fed him bullshit. He's not as good as his rating, and if he actually worked hard he might be ok. I'm soo sick of our red rockets for this kid. I honestly think he has a little Ricky Williams in him where "he doesn't like football".

Imagine you could merge Pullen's work ethic with Beasley's raw talent.

Yeah instinct was probably the wrong word to use.  I was talking more about how to position yourself and how to read the ball off of the release.

True, but going balls-to-the-wall and working hard aren't necessarily the same thing. Nine times out of ten, the better player is the harder worker, period.

i think the point here is that just because someone is incredibly gifted at something does not mean he/she does not work as hard as some other tard who is not equally gifted. and also beasley should have won POY.

Right, but this discussion is about the exception, not the rule.

where were you when the national media was slobbering all over themselves trying to jerk off Hansbrough's "hard-working" nuts instead of slobbering all over themselves trying to jerk off Beasley's "not hard-working" nuts ?????   

[mocat]

Remember that time when Hansbrough had to play without Ty Lawson for a couple games? 

<<< still not over  east coast media rough ridin' over our most beloved and most EMAW student-athlete OAT

goEMAW staff researchers - what is the national success rate of DI transfers to another DI school becoming a starter/star?

We are at 4/5, and 4/5 ain't bad.
