So, he legitimately does not suck. It's weird. I keep waiting for him to throw up a no-look sky hook off the top of the backboard, but instead, he continues to catch difficult passes, take actual shots, and DOB with regularity when given the opportunity. Did he not get the memo?

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #1 on:** December 24, 2011, 03:38:25 PM »

he is very good at making point blank shots. weird.

Hopefully he spends all the next offseason working on defending short guys to round out his game.

Pretty bouncy for his size. He wil be good. The DOB returns are already promising.

he runs the floor very well. much less baby deer on icey than JO was as a frosh. he also plays very hard. when he is in he is working his ass off to get in position to receive an entry pass.

Overall, our 2011 freshman class scores much higher than the grades they were given by Rivals.

The transfers other than Jones

what do you call his tunnel dance? It is starting to grow on me despite how unconventional it might be.

Just be glad Watson is the one that didn't pan out

by far the incomer that has most exceeded my expectations.

i still like lawrence better than jones. jones is exactly as was described by everyone that saw him in juco.

I really like Diaz. He's already pretty good and he has a ton of upside.

What has made you like Lawrence? I can't remember him doing anything in his extremely limited minutes to make me think, "Oh, that guy might be a nice pickup."

His twitter used to be pretty good.

Lawrence swished a mid-ranger once. That excited me.
That, though, is it.
Always been on the diaz bandwagon. Looks like a ballpayer.

Diaz is a smoother player than JO right now. He should be a better player than JO when both have completed their careers.

Guys like Diaz and Angel, with Upshaw coming next year, leave me optimistic about sustained success for KSU Basketball Cats. I have nothing against Frank at all. Not that I ever had much against him anyway.

Diaz cannot touch JO in terms of adorableness, imo

Agreed. He scores much lower on the Jim Henson Creation scale.

I agree. He also seems less adamant about DOB'ing. All of that should improve with more experience and an offseason or two in the weight room, though.

sys · « **Reply #19 on:** December 27, 2011, 01:16:57 PM »

he's not better, but he's certainly smoother. baby deer on ice aren't smooth, even when dunking on bitches.

He is smoother. JO still has "omgz how does i catch loose ball?" syndrome. He is better than JO was as a frosh too.

I disagree.

We can conclude from this thread Diaz = JO without duck feet and spider arms.

mocat · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2011, 05:49:06 PM »

I think we can all agree that there is nothing more adorable on God's green earth than a baby deer on ice. Especially one that can D-o-B's.
