I thought you were, so I’ve just matched that energy.

The difference is we have like 8 guys not playing good basketball and they never get mentioned, even when he does things right there’s crickets. It’s okay to admit you have bias man.

I knew it, just because his name isn’t the same as your name doesn’t mean you should pick on him, this is grade school 101 bro.

The funny thing is you say Thor, you could insert any name other than trey, Yvan and maybe Allen and still be right...it is the American way to blame the foreigner though.

I just don’t know how you can make that assumption with hardly any sample size. Agree to disagree I suppose.

The thing about lakes the last 5 games is it worries me about how he shoots. I can’t think of one shot he’s taken with a hand in his face, if he has to be wide open to shoot this league is to fast and the defenders are too good to give him the time. I count about 5-6 guys on this team who are one trick ponies and they aren’t helping this team.

And which one of the other traffic cones on our team not named Allen or mcgowens is going to do anything better? At least these two guys play defense and rebound when a shot goes up.

We’ve actually played way better without Banton in the game, it sucks that in the last 5 games he’s become a can’t make a layup turnover machine.

Haha. Bro trust me it’s rough, but at least I know the sun will come up tomorrow. Hockey is the kind of mental anguish that leads to becoming a serial killer. Like, I’ve been tortured so much by having to watch hockey that now I’m emotionless and want to eat human skin. (I heard Jeffery Dahmer was a huge red wings fan.)

If that happens I’ll just kill myself, hockey is to boring to have to suffer through.

For a guy who is 6-9 with great moves to the basket Banton misses a scary amount of bunnies per game.

He’s definitely raw, but give that dude a year or two and his athleticism is going to be crazy.

Agree to both, if you look outside his scoring Yvan is going to get to the line where he does okay, but where he is good is rebounding, playing defense and not giving up space. Like you said If he can get 2-4 dunks per game that’s icing on the cake for his minutes. I really don’t think shamiel is going to do much for us, I said it before but he’s the most underwhelming player on this team at the moment and he’s going to have even less minutes now with walker coming back and Andre/lakes showing what they can do. Hell even wood was far superior on both ends of the floor tonight and half the fan base here bags on him for being a waste of a scholarship for some reason.

We got lakes eligible we are a game over 500 and walker has to sit out one less conference games. Those are the takeaways in my opinion. Wood and Andre got some quality minutes as well that they can take forwards. So now we go from here.

Yeah, he might be that odd man out honestly. He doesn’t do anything better than anyone else and he’s not much of a shooter and scores sparingly. I’m not sold on him much on top of the fact he kind of seems like he doesn’t want to be there. His body language is terrible.

If lakes keeps this up Lat went from a starter to 9-10 in the rotation real quick.

To be fair as someone who grows it long and thick, the beard isn’t bad...but good god get that headband out of out of there, have some self respect.

If I get nothing out of this game, all I know is I want this Barry white sounding dude on commentary to leave the sexiest “please leave a message” for me so it sounds like I have game when I get a tinder match.

He is the main reason we aren’t 48-0 the last 2 seasons.

It’s a possibility, if you are supposed to be a sharp shooter but aren’t going to shoot you gotta get that out of your head. Best case scenario both guys start sniping from deep.

My only point is that for a guy who is supposed to be an elite shooter we haven’t seen elite shooting from him. He even looks scared to shoot right now. I know there is going to be attrition, wouldn’t be surprised to see any of Lat, Yvan, Stevenson or Arop move on, especially if Kobe or Thor come back. I’m just worried about a guy who seems to only be getting detrimental stats for us at this time. We won’t truly know how good our bigs are for another month or so, that could explain something’s or make things look worse.

I completely agree, whether it’s playcalling or Lat’s separation he isn’t getting open and therefore isn’t doing the one thing he was brought here to do and that’s troubling in the last 2 to 3 games he’s basically just been a fouling and turnover machine and it worries me that he might be getting phased out of the game with Like kavas was because of his limited skill set I’m not saying it can’t or won’t get turned around it’s just been a little troubling To watch over our first few games

To be fair we have about 4-5 guys trending down over the last 3 games, we’ve had very little consistency game to game with individual players. I’d say Thor and Dalano have been our most consistent players but Dalano has started to turn the ball over too much. We aren’t consistent play from all three starting guards or our bench players. Lat is more trending down more than Yvan right now and that’s what should worry people the most, we have a “sharpshooter” hi doesn’t shoot, can’t dribble, can’t play defense, can’t stay out of foul trouble and can’t rebound. As of now he is a worse Kavas and that’s worrisome. I’d be more comfortable putting Thor at the 4 and starting Kobe, bring lat off the bench and only have him focus on shooting.

I’ve been saying it for a few games now, Lat is not shooting enough to make up for all the other horrible aspects of his game and Stevenson is the most underwhelming player on this team. Tonight showed it again. Lat maybe doesn’t need to start and their is a reason Stevenson is the only guy left on the court when the Walk-ons and freshmen come in.

You can say it as much as you want, but you are still wrong. Stubborn as a mule.
