    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Stop being snarky and read what was posted. A lot of teams not all have bigs that can shoot threes. A lot of teams play 5 out. It is a weapon. Now you interject a dumb thought that I wanted Ogbole to take threes. I never said that you placed in your thread . Not everything is black and white...

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Have you watched Wisconsin or Illinois the last few years. Stretch 4 and 5’s shoot and make impactful threes. Are you telling me you never want to see Gurdack shoot a 3 ? Common now , this isn’t 1960

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    His reaction was not bad for a raw player. You really shouldn’t freak out about our center shooting a three as almost every center in the country does it. Gurdack took 3 of them and they all looked good. They didn’t go in and you are judging on results only. The form for Gurdack was really...

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    Not sure about that. He looks skilled compared to our last 10 years of centers. Jay Young will have a tremendous impact on him and his development. Both Miteo and Ware will give us some production and unlike the zero we got from backups in the past. Gurdack, Ware , Buca and Miteo is the...

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    That is the problem with watching highlights. You miss the action. Lino will be the fastest player on the court in any game we play . He didn’t finish a couple of drives but he threatens the defense every time he drives . He had 5 assists and would have had 2 more if Gurdack held onto the passes...

    How good is Christian Gurdak going to be this season?

    This is the problem with people just looking at a Boxscore and not attending the game and concluding because Gurdack had no fouls it was not played like a typical game . If you were there , it was very intense. The defense both teams played except for a few lapses were in your face one on one...

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    Read this an hour ago and it was an excellent analysis.

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    This is always a crazy debate in this analytical era. But if you have players that are good or maybe very good from midrange and can make 45-50% but shoot under 30% from 3 , do you have them shoot 3’s anyway. Francis , it appears Smith and Gurdack , Powers for sure , are better mid range...

    Beyond Lino, JMike, Kaden, and Tariq

    Need Lino in the game for most minutes handling the ball. If he subs out and Francis is on with Jones and Smith , they should be able to handle , bring the ball upcourt and get us into our sets . However , not for long periods as I also think Lino can steal you some baskets with his speed alone.

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    Do not disagree about needing more 3 point offense but I think Knight was trying to figure out what offense he could rely upon. Gurdack looks like he can shoot at least 50 % from down low. He also took 3 wide open shots when the ball was swung from 3. I think he can make them although he didn’t...

    Observations from first scrimmage.

    Wanted to give my early not that crucial first assessment of the scrimmage and viewpoint regarding the team. initially , compared to last year this year’s team has more talent and more scorers. It was encouraging to see a low post offensive scorer for the first time in I do not know how many...

    Guess the rotation

    Yes but expect an appreciably improvement from Lino , Kaden and Tarik. Would be great to get a huge sophomore leap from the first 2 and a dynamite senior season from the other. the transfers and euros seem from their previous experience , much better than Pike’s previous transfers and Euros...

    Guess the rotation

    It is pretty clear with a roster of 15 scholarship players and a walk on , Pike will be playing lots of guys. Maybe a hockey shift change or something similar. Lino will undoubtedly be the starting g point guard and Tarik will be the starting 2 guard. They will go as hard as possible then...

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    The performance by Dylan was terrific for any player but especially for a rookie to do something only Magic Johnson has done. Also, his defense was outstanding especially jumping into the passing lanes to get many of his 7 steals. But also , his defending of Chet who tried to back him down and...

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    What he is doing is what we saw he was capable of and why until he got hurt and I’ll there was a debate about Flagg and him for # 1. He is showing off his full bag and his shooting has really improved and his driving to the hoop was the best in the country last year in college and maybe again...
