Nino hasnt played enough to say he sucks, can say he undersized and is injury prone. Heard he is the best rebounder on the team.

Unathletic/Undersized big men suck. HTH everyone.

David Hoskins was a Big 12 6th man on a terrible team making people think he was actually good.

what david hoskins lacked in size, he made up for in stature. i wish the same could be said for you, kk.

Man, I was so excited for Beaz's frosh year with Bill and Hoskins. Was really sad when Hoskins got hurt.

I thought KK liked Detroit. Weird he hates a guy so much with the skyline on his 'ceps.

I think we are just throwing out different expectations. I mean I don't hate David Hoskins, but I'm not sure I'd want him back starting either. I think he would this year, but is he better than Jamar Samuels? I would take Massey back though.

Nino is very far away from being unathletic

He hasn't shown it at K-State. Maybe he's holding it back?

It looks like at this stage in Nino's devleopment, the great majority of his minutes are going to come at the 4 spot. I do believe he is a solid high major athlete but his lack of size creates a major question mark as to whether or not he'll be able to be a consistent long-term contributor in the post.

What made Hoskins so effective despite his lack of height, was his solid ballhandling ability which made him able to beat other bigs and some wings off the dribble and then he had the strength and touch to finish around the rim. Nino hasn't shown any sign that he's going to be able to finish in the paint like Hoskins could but he was a good shooter from distance in HS and AAU ball. He hasn't really displayed that ability at KSU but maybe he's become more confident with it over time.

It sounds like Nino played pretty well on the team's trip to Brazil.

He also played well at the open scirmmage back in August.

http://kstatesports.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/080412aab.html

Maybe he's found his niche as a scrappy, athletic garbage man who has the ability to step out and knock down jumpers from the perimeter. I'm still skeptical about it but I guess we'll just have to see what happens as the season plays out.

Quite the humblebrag here folks, not only was kstate4life considered cool enough to rub elbows with the bigwigs at the BTF dedication, he's also cool enough to imply one of our players is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Can't wait to hear about kstate4life's next elite humblebrag, that is if he can find the time to share it with us.

it's pretty rare that someone the size hoskins/nino can contribute much at the 4 at the high major level. hoskins had the size, the ability and knowledge of how to use his size, and a decent 10 foot jumper. i would be happily surprised if nino can pull it together and contribute b/c we're going to be thin in the blocks the next few years.

Yeah but this is about a redshirt sophomore who has spent the better part of two years injured.

If Nino became a Hoskins clone, it would be amazing for this program, but for the reasons that clams pointed out he won't be a Hoskins clone, a lot to ask of him. KK may need some ginko biloba and some old videos, Hoskins was very good against good players. Not sure how his surrounding cast made him look better. No one is pining for Marques Hayden.

Our offense went through David Hoskins 2007-2007. Our offense was dog poop in 2006-2007. David Hoskins was the 12th best scorer in conference play in the Big 12 on a team devoid of talent. Draw your own conclusions.
