I am not siding with them! I am just siding against YOU! I don't care who wins your stupid arguments! I would just like to read discussions that don't continually degenerate into shit-fights.

Just tell Pilgrim to go fvck the Mayflower! He destroys every discussion on this board!

Agree, unless an opponent plays two big wings, or Odukale is injured. If Betts is the #2 big wing, you don't want to have one of our 6'2" midget combo guards defending a 6'7" wing for very long time period.

If we play small against big teams like Illinois, our defense will get slaughtered. Our small guards cannot defend against big wings. Our small guards are not quick enough to take advantage of big defenders. Hawkins is gone and Gopher small ball went to Texas with him!

and about ten seconds before that lawsuit is dismissed with disgust.

I hope you are right, but CBJ's comments about Betts are about his body development which sound more like power forward skills improvement rather than wing skills improvement. Betts may still be too bulky and slow to succeed as a wing. The Gophers have six guys in the ht-wt range around 6'8"...

IMO the most glaring weakness is wing depth. Odukale needs a backup or co-starter. Until that wing is added, our crew of 6'2" combo guards is going to be destroyed by Illinois' (and other teams') 6'7" wings. One new big wing transfer can solve that problem weakness! Also when comparing Odukale...

They just pulled it out of where Coyle was hiding it.......

Up your ass! Nothing personal....

"Self defined" means that "elite" could mean top 1% to you or top 99% to me or top xx% to anyone else.

Not if "volume" is referring to loud noise.

Good coaches play enough bench players (regardless of losses) to eliminate late season collapses. You give them singular tasks (1-1 defense, rebound, screen, pass) that they can execute, and maybe they will become skilled enough to EARN playing time when the games really matter.

I am all-in on "need to get a wing like DAE"! As far as "bad shooters before last season", the importance of 3pt% jumped in importance at all levels last season.

Catch-and-shoot guys usually ARE open because of teammates' ball movement. Christie and Mitchell can't GET open like Kyree Irving and Anthony Edwards who are dribble-drive guys.

NAME 3PT% Mitchell 39.9 (2023-4) Williams 36.7 (career) Allen-Eikens 36.1 (2023-4) Rigsby 35.3 (2023-4) Patterson 35.0 (2023-4) I would say Mitchell is a keeper as a 3pt% shooter. The reason that Mitchell didn't shoot more often is because Christie shot 39.1% and Hawkins...

12th in a 14-team league would put him among the team-leaders in BIG10. "ELITE" is a self-defined adjective.

If he wants to increase his volume, he could fart when he shoots threes... And that might also increase his vertical....

Ben has often chosen to win the game and, as a result, has often lost the season. If you don't play your substitutes whenever possible, you will fatigue your starters and likely never develop depth which will cost you wins in the end.

Only one million miles off .....or so...

My complaint is that when an ACTUAL NUMBER is printed, that gives the IMPRESSION that number has accuracy or verification which doesn't really exist. For example: if I say the sun is 93,123 456.789 miles away, that gives the false impression that I did NOT pull that number out of my ass!
