Walking steal would be a better moniker.Is he really a "walking bucket". I mean yeah, one game he went nuts but for most of the season I wouldn't call the starting PG of a team that struggled to score 40+ a game "a walking bucket".

I actually agree with this. I think there are some parallels to him and Prohm. Bad gameday coaches. When the initial plan goes bunk, there is almost never a counter punch. Can't adjust on the fly. Guy is a hell of a recruiter though, which Prohm wasn't bad at either in his own right. I think he's better than Steve, don't get me wrong, but I just see some parrells.I don't know why anyone would want to play for Matt Painter. The guy's just not a good coach at all IMO.
Purdue was totally outplayed and outcoached by St. Peter's.
Maybe the worst coaching job of the Tourney this year.
Then again Westbrook can't shoot worth a crap and he has been around for ever. Actually what Westbrook is doing is killing guys like Tyrese. NBA and NFL go through these different era's. 10 years ago guys like Rondo and Westbrook were all the rage. Guys who could run the show but struggled to shoot. Then Stef Curry came and showed that a shooting guard with handles is the way to go.

Yeah, not many 6'0 PGs in the NBA who can't shoot well and struggle to score at the rim. Handle still needs work as well.In addition to being a freak athlete even amongst the NBA freaks, Westbrook is 6’3” with a 6’8” wingspan. Chris Paul is a better size comp, but neither of their games really resemble Tyrese’s. I don’t watch a ton of NBA anymore, but I’m struggling to find a comp for him, which probably tells you something.
Ironically the best NBA comp right now I can think of at this stage in TH development was Lindell Wigginton who of course had to grind it out in the G-League to become a fringe NBA player this year. Obviously Hunter is still young and has time to develop offensively.In addition to being a freak athlete even amongst the NBA freaks, Westbrook is 6’3” with a 6’8” wingspan.

This was what I was thinking as well. However, LW was/is a much better shooter. Hunter is a great defensive player and a good facilitator but, due to his size, is going to have to make huge strides in being a more consistent outside threat in order to make it to the NBA.Ironically the best NBA comp right now I can think of at this stage in TH development was Lindell Wigginton who of course had to grind it out in the G-League to become a fringe NBA player this year.

Tyrese wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything in an NBA game right now. Even his defense would be below average because of his lack of length. He needs a lot of skill development before he can make money playing in that league.In addition to being a freak athlete even amongst the NBA freaks, Westbrook is 6’3” with a 6’8” wingspan.

Should make for an interesting visit to Hilton...Horns down
Should make for an interesting visit to Hilton...
Maybe the student section can fling some Monopoly bucks at him...Hilton will spit hot fire at him, but that is to be expected under these circumstances.
Don't players who think they're good go to a program that is better than the one they came from? Not sure why he decided to take a step down..
