How about Sprads

[AlwaysEMAW]

Weren't they overplaying the left side of the court on Tuesday? I remember thinking, geez, I wonder why they're doing that

[kougar24]

So what's Spradling's nickname now? Nothing Darren Kent-ish I hope.

White Doberman?

Rumors that some advanced scout Duke message boarders are already comparing him to Steve Wojciechowski.

If Sprads starts slapping the floor all the time I'll probably lol harder than I lol at other funny stuff that happens and junk

I don't think this has been posted. Good article about Sprads and Pullen

I'd like to see Pullen and Sprads on the court together. 

And to add to MIR's astute observation of the Duke PG breakdown pic; Duke is also running a pick and pop 2 man game there against the wing of the zone, which makes it easier to penetrate, plus the defense's closing on the penetrater is terrible.  And its just terrible defense overall, b/c they had no one to guard the wide open wing on the weakside either.  As MIR said, VaTech ran different zone looks, and at no time did they play their zone as terrible as in that pic.

So would I.  Especially b/c Pullen can dribble with his left hand.  We could put White Doberman (WD) on the right side of the court and Pullen on the left.  We'll be screwed if WD needs to dribble to the top of the key, but that's not really part of our offense anyway.  So, we'll be fine.  amirite?

Yes.  Its pretty clear from all the games we've seen that Sprads has no handles, and now that more film gets out there on him you'll continue to hear opponents coaches yelling "make him go left".  He's done a great job faking it so far though, I'll give him credit for that.

This post gave me some incredible deja vu, and I'm not entirely sure why.

Also, it's very  but yet  to see everyone hyper-analyzing a 2nd-game frosh's every move, hypothetical move, or lack of movement. I'm just  about the guy. Let me enjoy it while it lasts, amirite?

Sprads is a good player.  Enjoy it. 

I suppose I should've used italics in my last post.

[Acceleration Man]

Yes. You should've!

You mean every announcer is going to talk about how good he is and how he'll be playing professionally in the future?

Um, I think it might be Sprads.

Sprads was okay tonight.  Nothing great, nothing terrible.  I liked that he got some minutes at Pcombo with Jake at Scombo.

Yeah.  But he was a little bit better than he was in the Va Tech game. 

Just keep getting better every day.  That's all we ask.

i never said he has no handles.  he is noticeably more comfortable going to his right.  perhaps it is because he is a freshman facing better/quicker competition, i dont know.  he is clearly doing well i was only trying to point out that its an area he needs to improve upon before conference season, even if its just getting used to D1 ball or if its confidence issue.

I think it's because he's right handed... probably.
