Shady thugs
Actually, Scotty is a thug, the original thug. I don't think Grill is a thug. Jacobsen, he is definitely a thug. We need more thugs.
The beauty of this is that he has some bounce and athleticism they didn't have.
Horny wished he had Grill's athleticism. Grill wished he had Horny's bball IQ and savviness.Caleb looks like a combination of Hoiberg and Hornacek to me....
There should be a super like option. I have never liked post more than this.Actually, Scotty is a thug, the original thug. I don't think Grill is a thug. Jacobsen, he is definitely a thug. We need more thugs.
I say start him if he can hit a shot. We have 2 guards shooting around %15 from 3 and neither have a history of being great shooters. Teams are just going to pack it in and kill any frontcourt advantage we have. I'd give up some defense early on while he gets up to speed and get a perimeter shooter on the court
I don't see anything in Grill's D that playing time won't cure, and I'd like to see him get it in the noncon. I'm sorry, but everyone hoping a player sitting a year and working on his shot didn't seem to pan out. Still early, but we need guards that are an offensive threat. Prohm may have no choice. I'm not comparing Grill to Wigginton, but his D was awful and started as a freshman. May come from Necessity. I wouldn't mind seeing Jackson or go big and put Zion at the 3 at this pointJust not gonna happen Prohm isn't going to reward a Freshman with extended minutes until he shows he can function on D. Give it time.
You’re suggesting we start a player because of offense, but then suggest we go big and start Zion at the 3? That would cripple the offense and with potentially no improvement on defense.I don't see anything in Grill's D that playing time won't cure, and I'd like to see him get it in the noncon.

We've seen our offense against mid major D's too..and stating Griffin should start at the 3 was a stretch also. We just aren't going to win many games with no outside threat. 28% from the floor and 15% from 3 isn't going to cut it. I see Grill then Jackson as our next 2 best options. Wish Leech had panned out. Is what it isWe also haven't seen extended looks at his defense against more than mid-major offenses. Slow your roll a little. Prohm will put him in when he is ready.
Oh I was definitely wrong on Griffin so far. I took Prohm's comments about how far he came way out of context. He is definitely not ready to start. Also if you think we continue to go 15% from downtown to heart just leave. Halli shot over 40% last year, and Rasir and Nixon both shot over 30% while being chuckers. They are going to get better looks as the season goes on.We've seen our offense against mid major D's too..and stating Griffin should start at the 3 was a stretch also.

28% is Nixon’s FG%, 15% being his 3P%.Oh I was definitely wrong on Griffin so far. I took Prohm's comments about how far he came way out of context. He is definitely not ready to start.

Also 28% from the floor what kind of made up stats are you trying to put out there?
So if Nixon isn't taking attempts, who would you like to see shoot the ball? Halliburton only takes really good looks (tends to turn down some good looks), Rasir is 0% from 3 right now (should drastically improve as many have had some really bad bounces), other than those 2 we are asking a whole hell of a lot out of Young and Jacobson if you don't want Nixon to shoot.28% is Nixon’s FG%, 15% being his 3P%.
Should go up some for everyone, but a lot of good looks so far. We should avoid Nixon having too many attempts imo. Haliburton shot well last year, but in a completely different role. We may need to play Jackson or Bolton at pg some to keep Haliburton as a plus shooter.
Let’s not allude to it being a major change to have one guy reduce his attempts. I said he should avoid too many attempts, not that it would be zero. A little more from everyone else.So if Nixon isn't taking attempts, who would you like to see shoot the ball?
