They are VERY small without Washington. Robert Jennings steps in to the post, but he's basically Tre King sized, or a bit shorter.
That was one thing that used to drive me nuts. We could count on that at the start of the game and start of the second half, regardless of the results, good, bad or indifferent. Made it really hard to get a nice rotation going. Seems like TJ has guys in and out every few minutes throughout the game.
My impression from watching them is that he is a pretty key piece that kind of balances everything out for them. Like a bunch of guards and then a rim protector.
Yeah, he usually wastes no time in getting Hasan and Curtis into the games. It's usually even before the under 16 media timeout.
Not just culture, but also in-game coaching. CSP was the tactical equivalent of a Muppet, no surprise the smart coaches in the Big12 ran circles around him.
Anybody else going to see CSP Sunday in Des Moines?
If the other coaches start talking about how great of a guy TJ is sorry TJ it was a good run but you gotta go.
He's definitely improved from year 1 to year 2 on that substantially.
Trying to equate his stature and growth to Monte. From Freshman year on Monte got better and better and had a decent shot his first year, but progressively became dangerous and had to be respected from behind the arc by his final year. Tamin has a bigger body, is better defensively I think, just doesn't take care of the ball quite as well as Monte. He does see the court pretty well too. Monte just had to really deal with being undersized as his biggest Achilles heal.
And Tamin is at least 2" shorter than Monte - but 25lbs heavier. I'm not sure which matters more in the NBA, strength or height?
I know Jalen Brunson has turned into a unicorn, but he's only an inch taller than Tamin and weighs about the same. Looking at his college stats - Tamin is a MUCH better defender, has more assists and rebounds. Brunson however, in his junior year, shot 60% from 2, 40% from 3 and 80% from FT line. (oh, and won the national championship)
If Tamin can do that next year, while rebounding and playing defense at the level he does, I think he'd have a shot as a "poor mans Jalen Brunson"
Washington missed their game at Baylor a couple weeks ago and they lost by 6. Baylor didn't shoot well from deep, but was able to take advantage at the rim, shooting 34 FTs and scoring a bunch of paint points. Jennings, the back up big, only played 16 minutes because of foul trouble. They played two other bench posts for the only time in BigXII play
I am sure I am in full blown irrational exuberance mode but let him play and then let our bigs pound the **** out of him.
I have a man crush on our trio of BRE/Ward/King.
cyclones.com has Tamin listed at 6'1" 200lbs and Monte his senior year at 6'3" 175lbs
When did this thread about computer projections get hijacked
Well, at least now it's moved to Tamin's NBA comp.
Fred VanFleet, anyone?
Is there an adjustment for coaching? Prohm was soft and out of his league and just believed the team was out there being guided by angel wings win or lose.
What identity did Prohm's teams have?
Kinda feels like the word trajectory is getting thrown around pretty loosely here.
Who knows what happens with this team but from the armchair, this team looks absolutely nothing like that 18/19 team in how they function and play. And if they even drop the next two there's still plenty of things that could happen to make a very successful season.
TJ's players carry out the assignment and Prohm's players didn't seem to know what it was.
When doesn't a thread get hijacked? All the relevant stats were posted 2 days ago. I appreciate all the work Sig and the rest of the stat geeks do though. I'm predicting we defend Hilton tomorrow.
