Washburn

Random thoughts:

1. Marcus Foster is still our leader and best player, not that there was much doubt about that.
2. Hurt will be great. He needs to get better conditioned though.
3. Edwards was our second leading scorer. Can't wait to see him at the 2 or 3 to see what he's really capable of. Him and Foster seem to have a pretty great chemistry.
4. I wish we could combine Jevon's vision and passing with Nigel's shooting to be one really good PG. But alas, we can not.
5. Tre Harris was our second sub, so the staff must think he's a better player than me or anyone else on here thinks. Didn't seem great, but was better than I thought.
6. Gip looked like Gip.
7. Jury still out on Bolden. He is skinnier than I thought.

wes, nino and whoever loses the battle for PG between nigel and jevon will come off the bench before tre does.

So, are we going to be pretty good?

<-- LBBIQ, but I think so.

[Jackstack99EMAW]

This team has a ton of potential and could be really good.

I agree with pretty much all of this but add we are very athletic and Edwards alley-op jumping over that guy I was like 

I didn't really know what to think of Bolden either, after that second foul where he basically cold clocked that guy it came to me, dumbass

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

The officiating was pathetic per usual. It's a tragedy they refuse to address this

[gatoveintisiete]

What if we just let foster and edwards play 40 min each as guards, and rotated bigs through? I dont like our other littles very much

[Pete]

We aren't even going to get Peggy Po's and Nancy Neg's because stupid Kat Kid was off watching the stupid football team.   

[brandochav]

Who won?

68-56, K-State

[uncle clean jeans]

poz

negz
-Jury is not at all still out on Bolden, most definitely still is on Hurt as a "legit center"

PPNN has devolved into low content clickbait. if you want some real meat in a thread you need to check out renocat's analysis.

I am going to take your advice.

Nigel ' s deal looked like cramps. Cannot confirm

[CNS]

oscar said cramps in both legs on the radio post game.

Harris was not impressive.   Hurt is huge and needs to lose like 30lbs.  His shot looks great, though.

Nigels shot is slow AF.  Javon looked really good doing everything except shooting.

Pretty sure we were out boarded by washburn.  So, there's that.

[Mixed-Nutz]

Hurts appears to do a good job taking up space, believe he can be a solid defensive rebounder for us. Bolden defensive rebound effort angers me. The one concern for me is guarding the post, but in this age of basketball that aren't a lot of effective pivot players. Our guards are going to be really really good. Really liked Tre Harris is better than I expected him. I think it a really good sign for the staff, they need to hit their evaluations and they have.

Jevons two shots off the elbow were a good sign. Took bunch of bad threes.

[CNS]

He had one or two that made me think he might have improved this off-season,  then he missed a couple threes by like two feet to one side or the other.

[CNS]

That all said, I do thim k we have some legitimate parts and pieces.  My above is probably being nit picky.  I think we could be really good as we envelope the new guys into play.

[The Big Train]

i liked what i saw from hurt and i think he is going to be a nice addition to the rotation, but one thing i did notice is he blocks out well but he never jumps to go get the ball, did anyone else notice this?  you would think he would finish the rebounding play after sealing off his guy

[CyberToothCat]

1) WAY, WAY, WAY too many shots taken by our PGs. They need to set up and run the offense, drive and dish, etc. Chucking up stupid threes all day is going to get us beat a lot.

2) Wow, Jevon is athletic. There were at least a couple of times that he was up in the air battling for a rebound and he was higher than all the bigs on the floor. He was tenacious, fast, with quick hands.

3) Foster is our best player. As goes Marcus, so goes the team.

4) Edwards looked timid at times, which I guess is to be expected after not playing for a year and being forced to play a different position due to injuries. Still, he showed some flashes that got me geeked. Once he gets back to his natural position and gets into the flow, I think he'll look a lot better.

5) Hurt: slow, not in particularly good shape. Seemed like he was tired after one or two trips down the floor. He did show some nice range, knocking down some jump shots. I'm not sure why he has the green light from 3-pt range, though. Needs to stop with the stupid fouls.

6) Bolden is skinny as a beanpole. He's going to get abused in conference play. According to the roster, Bolden is 6-11, 215. He's probably more like 6-10, 200. I don't expect anything from him this year until he can add some bulk.

7) Gip did some nice things, but he seemed to be the focus of Washburns defense. Anytime he touched the ball everyone crashed down on him. We will definitely need him to contribute more than 9 points, 3 boards (if my memory is correct).

8) Tre Harris... He was just kind of there. He had a couple of nice looking jumpers. He got beat down the court by a white guy and got subsequently chewed by oscar. He needs time to develop so I doubt we see him much when the games matter.

9) Nigel: I don't know what to say. He still looks pretty when he shoots, but the ball just doesn't seem to go in very much. Not as athletic as Jevon and not as aggressive, doesn't seem willing or able to drive and dish. If forced to pick based on the exhibition, I start and Jevon and bring Nigel in for breathers.

[Trim]

It looked like we were 0 for 2 on having shooting sleeves on shooting arms.

[Skipper44]

Really like Hurt's stroke, hopefully he can be the stretch 4 that is the key to Weber's offense. 

[Trim]

I think Hurt needs to either lose 80 pounds or play center.
