Couldn't agree more - it's literally like playing 4 on 5 on the offensive end.
He hasn't been doing that as much. He was going from over the top but he's back to trying to finesse the shot. This game shows what the Cards need after Mitchell and King. Everyone else is a role player meant to compliment the scorers. Without Adel and Snider this team is totally limited offensively.
^^^^^This X 1,000,000^^^^^^^
It's like he doesn't really care that much. He may be one of those who only play hoops because of his height. He can get a free education out of it as well. He doesn't have enough game to play major college basketball. He has always been about potential. We all assumed with hard work he would be this awesome player. I beginning to think it's not even close to happening. You either have the desire or not. Just think of all the undersized post players who would give anything for Ray's height and length. I believe Rick only recruited him because he's a local kid. He will lose minutes even more next season if he doesn't make an effort to improve.
Those summer pickups at Crawford would've helped.I don't think these guys go at it outside of fighting for minutes at practice.
Definitely agree that he is to blame as well, it appears he has not had his heart in it, but the strength and conditioning staff is really dropping the ball on these guys. Come up with a better program that will help them get bigger if what they are doing isn't working. I think Ray would be more likely to practice his long range game and shoot 40% from three next year than gain 30 lbs and get a post presence at this point.
the guy teaching them is a lamb, not a lion.
The bigs all have to play with the idea there is going to be contact and most of it is not going to be called. Expect contact, be strong and get your shot off. Pure finesse play underneath ends after HS after you start playing against guys who are your size (or bigger) and may not have your talent.
And as i said padget is soft as water and the only thing he can teach is how to be soft.
Depends on where you live. Some water is very hard.
if you take time to read, I am not the only one with that opinion.
No reason to get snarky, and yes you have provided opinion which is fine. No facts other than what you've already deemed as such in your own mind. That doesn't make it a fact. It's still opinion which I respect. I admire that you're willing to stand by your word no matter how stupid it makes you look. That is very admirable and worth while IMO. I salute you.
Where has Mathiang improved? Hands of stone and bad decision after bad. Great effort guy (I would argue he played harder next to Harrel than he has since), but no skill. Not to be contentious, but I don't see it.
Not really. I find it enjoyable actually. Nothing more fun than watching someone who thinks they know what they're talking about talk when they have no clue what they're talking about. It's pure comedy gold. I appreciate you. A lot.
funny it all comes true as you in particular steam away then throw personal insults.
Every single word huh. OK. LOL. How is your prediction about how great Stockman is going to be working out for you? Believe me, I wanted you to be right, but I think even you with your over the top rants have walked back on that boast.
lets discuss your predictions..................
if you look at the boxscore, he is either the #1 or #2 rebounder every game. his offense needs someone to teach him moves.
