talking basketball IQ

[Coach34]

Wilson was a great shooter, but Bullard was the floor general.

im not disputing that. But the way 00 ran the floor, defended, and used screens to get shots vs bigger players just showed his basketball IQ

Wuttt?? If T.J. Honore was our PG in 1996 we'd be national champions. Bullard was a small issue to it, would have been best as a sub.

Terry Lewis is up there

He certainly set up Jeff Malone

[tcdog70]

Every time Ravern shot I actually assumed it was going in.

Another player who made it or almost made very shot was Tony Watts. He went 11 for 11 at Bama one night to kick the tide in the nuts.

[tcdog70]

LRob had the best rebounding instinct of any Dog in History. He just knew how to offensive rebound. Plus if He missed he could get it and put it back

[JoseBrown]

Gotta give Cameron Burns a little love. Smoke knew how to snatch that ball, knew where the rim was and swung a nasty elbow... Sat by him and Tony Watts in a Microbiology class. I really liked him, but damn, Microbiology? Cam...

Kalpatrick Wells.. Always liked hearing that name..

Terry Lewis for sure.

Greg Carter.

Have nothing for Bullard after our final 4. Hope it was worth it.

+1. F*ck that guy, to go along with the fact that he wasn't that great. As bad as we needed a true point guard, we STILL almost won the damn national title and maybe could have if he hadn't thrown the game.

Damn I hate thinking back about that. I 75% gave up on MSU basketball after the BS he pulled. I completely gave up on it when we got bounced in 2004 by a team we beat by 30 earlier in the season.

[Coach34]

I have met Marcus Bullard. That man didnt throw any game. He just had an off night on a big stage

[Liverpooldawg]

To me instinct an IQ aren't the same. As for as IQ goes:
1: Doug Hartsfield
2: Whit Hughes
3: Eric Dampier
4: Brandon Vincent
5: Greg Carter

[dawgoneyall]

I know, I know.... but any list without Bailey Howell is worthless.

[War Machine Dawg]

That you believe this is hilarious. Wilson was THE leader of those teams. It's not even disputed. Wilson was the only guy who could call out Bullard, because everyone else was afraid of Bullard.

I don't know if he threw it or not, but the fact of the matter is Bullard is the biggest thug in MSU hoops history. Wouldn't be shocked if he did throw it or if he didn't throw it.

I'll qualify that by saying I only included guys I actually saw play. I suspect as was pointed out above any list on this subject should include Baily Howell. My first MSU games were in 1981, I remember listening to Jack call Gary Hooker and that bunch but I never actually saw them play.

[Liverpooldawg]

Just for fun, top 5 I have seen play:

1: Jeff Malone
2: Eric Dampier
3: Darryl Wilson
4: Lawrence Roberts
5: Donte Jones

Wrong. You forgot about Bailey Howell. Plus, as far as BB IQ, seems like everyone either doesn't know about or forgot about the teams in the late 50s and 60s.

[Johnson85]

I don't know if he threw it or not, but the fact of the matter is Bullard is the biggest thug in MSU hoops history. Wouldn't be shocked if he did throw it or if he didn't throw it.

I don't know Bullard either but someone that played with him at state swore up and down that he really did just choke because he cared too much. Guy wasn't his buddy or anything, but was adamant about it. Only reason I don't believe him is that it's hard to reconcile caring about winning that much with throwing away your career doing thug stuff.

Greg Carter.

I can't believe no one else has mentioned Burns. He was often matched up against guys bigger than him but he always found a way to get points and rebounds. I loved watching him play.

[tcdog70]

Sure Bailey is the Gold Standard for Dog basketball. But if you mention Him you must also throw in Jim Ashmore probably in the top3 guards in MSU history.
