I only watched the first half but it’s one game on a back to back. At worst I was hoping to finish 1-1 this weekend and they did. Maryland will be ranked for sure they are a good team and they couldn’t miss today.
He was an off ball spot-up shooter at KState, he didn’t really play Point for them.
Yup. Earlier in the season, I was curious if he could fill Charlie Moore's facilitating role but its apparent that he's a much different player. I think that's okay though. If there's one thing this squad has, it's a bevy of reliable ball-handlers. We can afford to have Pack play primarily off the ball.
Poplar trips over himself so much he’d be better off living life in a wheelchair and this man is a starter.
With Wooga, you take the good with the bad.
He is athletic, he can jump out of the gym. Problem is, his handle is god awful, he's not a very good shooter, and he's an undisciplined defender. I think he's improved from last year, but he still has a long way to go.
You're miserably wrong. Yes, the guy looks awkward, but his athleticism and ability to score off the dribble is a valuable skill. Just from the 5 games he's played in this season, it's obvious why L said he was one of the most improved coming into the season. Then again, making snap judgments after one loss is part and parcel of this fanbase. You'd think people would have learned from the "Charlie Moore sucks" threads, to calm down before writing people off.
Crazy enough, really too bad Sam didn't have an 11th year, this would have been ideal team fit for his game. I really undervalued his rim protection ability.
He hasn’t been stellar yet all year, though it is VERY early. I’m hoping these new pieces can get square. He has way too much talent to continue to be mediocre.
Last year, I thought being the primary ball handler helped Wong be more engaged and assertive at times. That may be an option for periods when Beverly and Bensley aren’t in the game, if Pack is still struggling to adjust in a few weeks.
I was just thinking about that. I'm sure that has crossed his mind. TBH, Wong as primary ball handler worries me. Think 08 covered it in another post. Sneaky good ball handler, I just think he is out of control too often. Doesn't have PG vision. Trapped too often, picks up dribble in trouble too many times, stuff like that. Floor spaced out I like him 1 on 1 though. He has that euro step, good spin game.
Wong is at his best when he’s the Scoring PG, the Offense should always run through him.
