Que Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) 95 thread

[Kat Kid]

Dlew, very proud of you.  Great work in your first post in the thread.

[AbeFroman]

Needs lots of minutes against the last 2 garbage non-cons, could come in handy later.

[Stevesie60]

I was pleased with D-Pete.  He is extremely quick.

Very quick and aware of both the defensive and offensive side of the court. Seems to have a lot of potential.

Loved Frank's comment about 95 and the reason he played him.

He practiced like he was pissed that his team lost to Florida, so I had to play him.

cant find a link though. maybe it's made up.

Probably not going to be linked anywhere, but that's a combination of Frank's comments in the postgame radio interview.

Russelll looked good albeit against umkc

Russell had benefited from Pullen's shopping spree more than anyone. He looks like a pretty decent scorer.

What part of 2-8 from the field (0-4 behind the arc) tipped you off to that little fact? 

[Immaculate1]

Iverson wasn't a great shooter, but a great scorer. Also a great at FT.

Russell is a taller thicker A.I.

Do you know the difference between a shooter and a scorer?

FTRate: 24.3.  Yes, he'll obviously be making up for his crappy shooting by going to the line a lot.  Or not.   

[OK_Cat]

I love that Azcat expanded his horizons beyond the politics board.  give him a full season of watching hoops and he might know what he's talking about.

Last 2 games; 20 points in 50 minutes. 10 trips to the FT line. Plus 9 boards and 6 assists. Not shooting great, but overall giving solid minutes and taking advantage of Pullen being out.

[nicname]

105.4 and 129. 9

FWIW, those are Russell's Oratings in each of the last two games.

for a guy his size he can get by a defender off the dribble and has a pull up jumper that most guards aren't going to bother him with.  coupled with his newfound rebounding he could be serviceable

I don't hate Russel nearly as much as most of the rest of the team.

"Most of the rest of the team" sound pretty smart if they hate Russell too.

Russell has a nice offensive game, looks good dribbling the ball surprisingly

Well, he is good looking, I'm not going to fight you on that.  But, I have more confidence in his handle than I do in Doc's.

I don't get the Russel hate.  He is really the only guard we have who consistently looks to drive the basket.  When his outside shot is falling, he can be lethal.  I personally really like his game and think we've suffered at times when he is on the bench.  Like during the UNLV game when he scored 11 in the first half and sat most of the second.  I wish his defense would pick up so Frank could play him more.

[Benja]

Once he figures out his place in the offense, I think he'll be pretty good. Frank thinks he can be good too, that's why he hates him so much. Russel at least has a platform to build off of, unlike several guys on our team.
