Rysheed Coming Out Party

it always come back to baldi

Quote

Rysheed, D-lo, Obekpa, Phil, and Gift have all improved a lot, imo, since they started playing at St. John's... 

Harrison was just as good as a freshman as he is now, Greene hasn't improved much he was a surprise as a freshman and has pretty much been the same since just his role changes a lot, Opekpa is the same defensively as last year just more inconsistent this year and lets not crown him as a good offensive player based off 3 games because look at the 3 games prior and they are scary. Jordan there is no way to tell if he has improved because he plays more now and he as well is a very inconsistent player as of now but that is something that definitely could change.  Gift is no better this year than he was 2 years ago he is the same player who just plays less he will give you tough minutes, still has terrible hands, and does very little offensively.  I honestly don't think any of the players you named have mad significant improvements.

The year under Dunlap from beginning of the year to end of the year I would say every player improved during those 4 months but since then not so much.  It was fun watching Dunlap coach those guys even know they came up on the short end more times than not.  I love seeing players improve throughout the year and get better throughout their careers just doesn't seem to be happening much around Jamaica.

Your distaste for Lavin is becoming amusing.

It's not about making it in the NBA

It's about a gauranteed contract for millions.

If you get drafted in the 2nd round, and don't have the skills to make it, you get flushed out.

If you get drafted in the 1st round, whether you have the talent or not, that money is guaranteed.

The caveat for staying in school is getting drafted higher, getting that guaranteed money, and then whether you make it or not, at least you got that ONE contract. 

Harrison was just as good as a freshman as he is now

Greene hasn't improved much

Opekpa is the same

  Jordan there is no way to tell

Gift is no better this year than he was 2 years ago

Yeah so ridiculous why don't you take your head out of your ass

He's also now a mature team leader, as opposed to a psychopath then. HTH. If you need more basketball lessons let me know.

Peoples whose favorite hobby is to eat lunch by themselves doesn't ooze leadership to me it means stay away from me I don't want to be bothered.  And 2% isn't much an improvement when you consider going from 37% to 39%.  Wow what an amazing improvement.  You come across and more and more clueless every time you post will be interesting what you have to say next. Possibly that Sanchez has improved as a defender.

As far as I'm aware Harrison doesn't each lunch during the games, and that you think his culinary habits are related to his leadership of the basketball team says volumes.

Anyway, having proved to you that Harrison has improved in nearly every statistical categories over the course of his career my work here is done.[/quote

Yeah you argued that case perfectly you made me look like a total fool.  He has gone up in 2 categories, down in 2 and has gone up a miniscule amount in 2 percentages and of course he must be a much better player.  Your argument losses some stigma since Harrison put those numbers up in the OLD Big East not this soft conference they play in now.  Big difference but those tiny percentage points obviously makes you right. 

please give me one example of Harrison being a leader of this team.  Just one

Toad, if you had any common sense or real knowledge of the game you wouldn't acknowledge 2% in FG% as an improvement it is kind of laughable.  Would you Mr. Toad go around telling people Harrison has improved as a shooter and you argument is that he went up a whooping 2%.  You are a clown my friend hope Valentine's Day isn't too lonely for you
