Let me put it another way. He played point the way Malik Newman played point in high school.Quote:

No leadership. A whole lot of talent. Next year can't get here soon enough.
We are already the 2nd youngest team in the country with Nick, Ado, and Brooks coming in next year. Do you really think all these guys stay? There aren't enough shots to go around already and no one seems to want to play D, be a role player, or play as a team.
So are we gonna be an average team next year?
I wouldn't be surprised if Kylin redshirts. I'm not that guy. I've seen Nick play numerous times including AAU ball which is not shit competition. He is an alpha dog, UNC offer, legit PG. I will be shocked if he isn't starting but I know for sure he will be playing 30 a game.Quote:

So we've lost what, 6 of our last 8 with little hope against our remaining opponents?
Who's going to lead next year? I know next year's a little far off but it bothers me.Quote:

He is from Velma Jackson HS and is in no way ready to start in the SEC. He will play alot no doubt and share mins with Peters, his bro, Carter, and Eli WrightQuote:

I think Nick or Peters will lead or I also think Q will lead as well since he will be a junior and finally an upperclassman. Q is a true sophomore after all and it takes time for leaders to develop. I think Q will take the Thornwell trajectory and will be here all four years. Thornwell sure as shit didn't lead as a sophomore and didn't have to lead as a junior.Quote:

This is just asinine. He can't start in the SEC but several teams like North Carolina and NC State were just fine with him starting in the ACC.Quote:

Because they are freshmen and sophomores. Peters keeps making the same mistakes over and over because A) he is an emotional player and he thinks he can take it himself at times or B) he makes the right pass but Herard muffs the pass and turns it over on the inside. Q makes mistakes because he tries too hard instead of letting the game come to him. He is still learning. Carter/Wright are making mistakes because they haven't been given a lot of minutes on top of being freshmen. Kegler has made huge strides this year but still makes boneheaded plays like the T the other night. Stapleton hasn't played organized basketball in two years and isn't fully healthy on top of being a sophomore playing wise. And on top of all this our steady senior point guard has been out the past four games of which we are 1-3 in his absense. We have talent. We are trending up; however just too much youth and inexperience to overcome our obstacles at the moment.Quote:

Why does Cal/Arizona get a much better and more competent announcing crew than SC/MSU?
People need to chill on Q. He's a sophomore who is having to deal with SEC teams game planning to stop him for the first time. He is naturally laid back and doesn't like to force the action.
Everyone assumed he was ready because he became our best player last year...but last year's team wasn't good. He's a very good player who was forced into the 'go-to' role, not because he was ready for it.
He will be fine. He is not struggling because of the wrist, that's crazy.
Is Herard hurt on one or both hands? He has gotten really bad lately handling passes and has cost us 6-14 points a game.

Yeah, I lost it at the end when Peters came back in and causally threw the ball away.Quote:
