Is Lewis injured because
- Thread starter omar34
- Start date
This is where I am at. Get Griffin and Lewis lots of playing time and see what happens. I don't think anyone would argue Lewis is good at defense.
I'd say why not play him and see if the experience helps his defensive awareness. He's easily starter-quality on offense, and brings size to a spot where we simply don't have it.
Want to hear something sick? Only 3 guys on our team have defensive ratings under 100 for the entire year. Conditt, Haliburton and...wait for it...Nate Schuster. That ain’t good.
It’s an L regardless so give me the team that is more fun to watch offensively. Watching Lewis back cut and score in transition is so much better than watching Nixon or Jacobson brick everything.
Well I'll leave it at this. Prohm is feeling the heat and is trying anything he can to win. He's not going to sit a guy that gives them a chance to win at this point. Lewis still doesn't play. What more do you need than that?
Its funny you give twins **** for defending prohm, yet you can’t stop defending Lewis.
Defender, maybe. But he is not our worst overall player. There are guys on this team that literally can't defend or play effective offense, shoot, rebound, dribble, or pass. Not trying to throw anyone under the bus here, but anyone reading this knows who I'm talking about
I just don’t feel like Jacobson or Nixon give you a better chance than Conditt and Lewis/Griffin. It definitely doesn’t give you a better chance next year either. Conditt and Griffin could use these games for experience. We need those guys next year. Playing Jacobson and Nixon doesn’t help now or in the future. I don’t dislike Prohm but if he truly feels he can save his job by playing these seniors, he’s already lost in my book.
Yes, I'm being a little facetious here, but I can't help but wonder...do our guys ever work on defense in practice? At this point in the season, they obviously lack fundamental defensive principals, which indicates a real coaching deficiency. We're unable to put many points on the board, but we make up for that by not understanding how to play defense/rebound. Which results in us being blown out by 15 - 20 points each game. If we're not going to stop them, might as well try to out-score them. Lewis gives us a better chance at that than who we're playing now.
Better shake a few minutes loose in the rotation. As bad as we are defensively, we need all the help we can get.
What's your take on CSP's time at ISU and who do you think is out there that could realistically come in and succeed?
If he doesn't make the tourney next year he's gone. It will actually be a very attractive job due to our fan base and not having to follow Fred this time around. We'd be able pull a HC from somewhere else
He's one to keep an eye on but we could get someone more proven if we wanted
