Milan Rumors - Hand Injury

[cytor]

I guess we will find out tonight for sure inside Hilton.

 

[fsanford]

If he's out, it takes away one of the ways we can (and have) won games. The good news is that this team has multiple ways of winning.

This.

Team has multiple avenues to win.

And I do think Heise will drain some 3's tonight.

If Milan has to injure his hand the pinkie on non shooting hand, I would guess, is probably the least impactful. Which is rumor

 

[Prone2Clone]

There's way too much smoke

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Thinking those are the only two options shows how much you have your head in the sand.

Hearing they amputated his hand about and hour ago so I guess you are right.

Ames isn't that big, I'm gonna go drive around until I see him.

Boots on the ground is what we need, enough talk!

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Has there been confirmation yet? Was it on or off the court?

But is it on the water?

That would've gotten sniffed out right away lol

 

[jcyclonee]

go park outside hilton im sure they have a shoot around sometime today

And it's not too far from where he's usually parked on sorority circle.

 

[ISUTex]

If Milan is out, I say we either start Heise, or just start 4 and bring Jones in at the first whistle.

I know he has 0 offensive game, but man it's fun having them out there to trap and disrupt with his length.

Watson could be an interesting play with Jefferson's passing ability. Watson doesn't have a consistent jumper, but I thought he had some skill at making timely cuts to the rim.

Lots of folks with their head in the sand

That expression definitely doesn’t apply to this situation. Lol.

Milan is spending the day watching Hansel Emmanuel tape for inspiration and ideas

What does this even mean in this context?

DWat played out of necessity last season and had a couple big moments - again, out of necessity. He didn’t look like he belonged even with the walk-ons earlier this season. Granted some of that may be coming back from injury.

He was recruited over imo. Staff will elect to play Nojus because there’s greater talent and potential there. If we need to give time to somebody over the next month to maximize the potential of this team at the end of the year, it’s clearly Nojus over Watson.

Looked like he didn't even belong with the walk-ons? That's hyperbole if I've ever seen it...

Nojus is more talented, has higher potential, and is a better one-to-one replacement for Milan's offensive skillset. Watson is more seasoned, is more skilled defensively, and has the size to be more of a one-to-one replacement for Milan's defense and position. I think there are positives to both, depending on matchups and how Otz wants to fill the minutes at the 4 that Milan took up.

Last season, Watson averaged 4 minutes a game in the last 8 games of non-conference play. Then he proceeded to average 11 minutes a game from January through the end of the season. I don't think it's a lock for either Nojus or Watson. But would it really be that surprising if Otz went back to a guy who he's shown before that he trusts in Big 12 play? That's basically what happened last year with Watson replacing Biliew's minutes and eating into Pav's.

I took would be intrigued with this. Given Watsons experience in the system a game like this he might pay some dividends.

He did okay last years Big 12 season.
