Daniels

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Total street ball player on O. His whole mindset looks to be to score. He forces so many plays. If he is on, like the 1st half at St John's, it is fun to watch. If he is off, it is a train wreck.

 

[Pritz99]

So....why can't you play him, and it looks like the train is comin', sit him. Try again later?

Daniels drives the lane with his head down and continues to get into trouble. I like his aggressiveness, but he needs to be smart!

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

Daniels is not a D1 player, let alone a B1G player..simple as that

Yes he is don't be ridiculous. Not a very good one, but certainly D-1 level.

 

[toby83]

Daniels type of player who probably at times looks great scrimmaging/ at practice. but doesn't translate.

Daniels is a great athlete with tons of playmaking ability. Coaches just need to to teach him ball security and the value of a good shot. If he can learn how to harness his abilities, he will be a very productive player and can be a game changer for us

 

[RUonBrain]

Did you see him guard whitehead? Especially 1sr 10 minutes.

Mistake Eddie made...not give Williams rest when whitehead came out. Instead he took him out When whitehead came back

GRF -
If you can see these things (and you do all the time), why can't our coaching staff?

I swear, we'd be better off if YOU were on the staff (not that your input would be welcome as an assistant during games).

I think Daniels needs to get his minutes when Sanders sits out.

Hopefully Daniels tonight works hard on the defensive end and only looks to create when the shot clock runs down.

My greatest fear is that he enters the game and has a ridiculously easy time attacking the defense of a poor team and goes off and succeeds playing the way that is counter productive against real teams.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

There are what, 351 teams in D-1? He would start at over 100 of them. He is a D-1 player so easy on the hyperbole...he just can't hang with anyone in the top 150 on most nights. I'm not acting like the guy is an NBA prospect, but to say he isn't D-1 shows a lack of understanding of the entire college basketball landscape and the level of talent throughout.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

LOL..thanks, I wish I understood the entire college landscape and level of talent throughout like you.

Obviously he is a D1 player since Rutgers plays D1 basketball...well, sort of. However, I don't think he should be. Still think he is a D1 athlete, with borderline D1 skills who hasn't been coached.

I wish you did too, but instead you make absolute statements that demonstrate otherwise!

Now according to you he is a D1 talent (which in your mind doesn't contradict your statement that he isn't a D-1 player), its the coaches fault it isn't manifesting. I wasn't debating that RU was D-1...rather that Bishop could play, and in fact start at many D-1 schools. Just not B1G/major conference schools. So, my original contention is correct, yes? Your original statements were wrong, yes?

Daniels again played better than Williams today.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Daniekls was the spark in the 2nd half.

 

[RUAEPI]

Daniels still drives into traffic. I like his aggressiveness, but he needs to understand before he goes if he is going to have a chance to get to the basket. If he can keep his head up and pass off of the drive, we would end up with more open looks. He tries to force it, and against better competition we have already seen that he ends up in trouble and his shot either gets blocked or has no chance to go in.

Play aggressive but keep your head up!!

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

He did some good things, but still did a lot of the things that get our offense in trouble....but it worked against such a bad team. You can see there was a concerted effort to dig in more on the defensive end, especially in his 1st few minutes. Taking PT away often times works.

 

[G- RUnit]

Maybe time to let Williams sit too. No Daniels bashing this week.
