Author Topic: Gip is so disappointing (Read 10828 times)

Shooting under 50% in B12 play. His rebound numbers are down. Seems like he is missing countless shots inside close. I thought Malik played better than him 2nite.

Dissapointing and pathetic at times from the Senior

I think the most frustrating thing from him is that he has never developed his right hand. He could have become such a force inside if only he had a right hand. He's been so predictable his whole career.

I don't think it's helped much that oscar Weber has been the coach almost his whole career. oscar's offense just doesn't set up well for post players. It also doesn't help that we haven't had many, if any, good supportive or better post players to compliment him.

His regression has been remarkable.

Hes a 6'6.5" center. He can only do so much.

FWIW, he hasn't really done much.

a memorable senior campaign for sure

I hope oscar throws him under the bus in post game

That's a lame excuse. He is 260-265 pounds and has some skills offensively.

He had 5 FGs or more in half of the Big12 games last year. He's done it in 1 Big 12 this year.

He hasn't had a really good game in a while IMO

It's really odd to see a senior post player regress in his senior year with oscar.

I don't like this thread one little bit

He's not nearly as bad as you guys imply here. He's still got decent scoring and boarding rates and he plays a lot of minutes. He'll get going in Big 12 play.

He runs funny and gets wore out easily. Kinda slow.

So, you're suggesting Frank would've been better for Gip? At least he'd be in better shape.

I'm still confused on why people like Gip so much. Bottom line is he is lazy. Doesn't matter who the coach is he'd still be slow and get worn out easily.

he's fine, but I thought he would be a lot better as a senior. seems like he's content or something. whatever.

michigancat · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2015, 10:23:48 AM »

He's mainly just shooting less this year - I'm guessing a big reason is the emergence/improvement of Nino. He's shooting better, getting to the line more, and rebounding a little less.

I'm sure the fact that we turn it over quite a bit more and play at a slower pace also affect the perception that he's regressing.

Probably right. He's a role player. Always was, always will be.

michigancat · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2015, 11:02:55 AM »

Another factor is he played a lot of minutes with decent to good three point shooters in Shane and Will, whose minutes were replaced by largely bad shooters. He's much easier to double this year for that reason.

Good point, the fact that he is facing so many double teams is a statement on how poor our offense is.

I don't care what anybody thinks, I still like Gip as a player. He's the most JYC-iest of the 'Cats on the current roster (edges out Nino).

He had a solid line today: 19 and 7. I'm sure he knows where he could've improved today (on D and from the line), but he isn't disappointing to me.

Skipper44 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 31, 2015, 04:36:48 PM »

I am proud of Gip for continuing to play hard, he spent the whole non con pinning dudes down low and not getting the ball. It seems like this has improved a little in conference play tho

He was last yr's nino.

0-7 FGs. He missed 1-2 other shots where he barely got fouled and couldn't make an easy shot

Pathetic Senior. Pathetic "5 men" Gip/Hurt 0-10 today

PIPE · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2015, 05:32:14 PM »

I have never seen a player who does not know when a double/triple team is coming and has no idea how to get out it. Ill put part of that blame on Weber for apparently not teaching that!

I love gip and I won't stand for this slander
