I'm starting to about Gipson's NBA prospects. I'm not a big NBA fan, but maybe a sort of Charles Barkley type player at that level.

Sending players to the NBA early is terrible for recruiting and the program in general, lets hope he stays all four years.

Charles Barkley out of college could sky. Nobody who saw him play would compare Gipson's game to his.

Why all the Diaz hate? So he's not Gipson but he did some good things yesterday. Has a nice drop step, and unlike some of our bigs, seems to go to the basket without hesitation or doing everything he can to make an easy shot a difficult one.

Yes, Gip does not have NBA athleticism. A more likely scenario is he is a 15 and 8 type for all four years and resulting in some being disappointed he is not more dominant as an upper classman. Think of a much more attractive Arthur Johnson from the Quin era at MU.

that's probably a pretty good comparison.

don't get it either. he's better than i thought he'd be.

agree with skipper on gipson, (would also apply to ar-t). he's more polished than most freshmen as a freshman, closer to realizing his potential. that doesn't imply that his ceiling is proportionally higher.

Think Gipson could greatly improve if he could sculpt his body to be Hoskins-like. Drop the flab. Think it would make him quicker and give him a bit more hops. Developing a consistent baseline jumper would also help.
Diaz has more upside, although I'm not going to predict he'll be a better.

Probably been discussed elsewhere but where did the Roberts in Jordan Henriquez-Roberts go off to this year?

I was expecting to see it again and then it is suddenly gone.

That is all

Really, Gipson is better than JHR? The guy averaging nearly a double-double is better than a guy who's still looking for his first?

That's some keen basketball IQ you've got there.

not sure you know how to math

Gipson is by far our best big player. Diaz is preforming better than JHr right now.

Mediocre bbiq here, but don't you think if we had just one player who could pose as an outside offensive threat it would be easier on the bigs?

Yes, and anyone that thinks Diaz is better than JHR should be slapped.

Good god man. Its like you aren't even trying.

Diaz has better footwork than clown shoes, better hands and better defense. The only thing JHr can do better right now is block shots from behind because everyone goes right by him.

He fits the tweener mold perfectly - solid 6'7 -6'8 dude with no jump shot but can bang amazingly with college duders - will never go NBA and will be a great JYK. Good player kiddos.

Who recruited him?

Cire · « **Reply #37 on:** December 15, 2011, 08:09:32 AM »

yeah, most nba post players can dunk a basketball fairly easily.

Figgers is the Texas guy, maybe the recruitniks can confirm

Underdog Wildcat · « **Reply #39 on:** December 15, 2011, 08:46:40 AM »

Yeah, Figger was the lead recruiter for Gip.

There was a good picture of Gip, his Mom, Martin, and Figgs floating around about the time Gip signed w/KSU. You're going to have to ask someone more tech savvy than me to be able dig that up, it was a good, wholesome pic though.

Anytime you state something definitive about this team/players, the next game will make you look like an idiot

This is true a lot on BBSs. A lot.

face-up jumper

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #43 on:** December 18, 2011, 12:22:40 AM »

I will never stop loving him. This season hasn't been the JO show, but we can only hope it will be soon.

SwiftCat · « **Reply #44 on:** December 18, 2011, 12:27:35 AM »

JO had a TON of dunkin' on bitches attempts tonight. I was very proud of him.

He pulled off one, but I really wanted him to get an "and-one" on his attempt late in the game.

OT: How about Trevor Releford's alley-oop? Oh, my.

gotta say I was really impressed with JHr tonight. Great foot work kept him in great defensive position, in turn keeping him out of foul trouble. Nice work with interior rebounding and put backs.

kougar24 · « **Reply #48 on:** December 18, 2011, 12:59:57 PM »

I'll give JO credit for this one. Did what he should have been doing all year, because this is how he was playing in conference season last year.

sys · « **Reply #49 on:** December 18, 2011, 01:04:31 PM »

he (jhr) caught the ball when it was near him.
