Brockington deserves his own thread.

Mateen Cleaves maybe?

I struggle to think of a better two way player for us since I’ve been watching ISU basketball (which is a long time). Very few have had multiple 30 point outbursts and those capable offensively were not locking down the top scorer in the country and projected lottery pick on the other end (giving up 4 inches by the way). This is not to mention 10 boards (5 offensive).

The energy and intensity required to play at that level on both ends is ridiculous. That was a special performance tonight.

Dedric Willoughby under Tim Floyd. Could score 20 plus and shut down the other team's leading scorer.

Dude can ball.

I do not know where to begin. What a player! Tenacious! Strong, explosive, can do it all.
His coach at PSU certainly underutilized his talent.

 

[baller1]

He’s Jimmy Butler

I still have the copy of the Big Peach following that game. Headline is Fa la la Lafester Rhodes

Johnny Orr came close to punching out one of the hok assistants after the game. Priceless.

Not to take the spotlight off of Brockington whatsoever but Kalscheur and Hunter are both absolute DAWGS on defense as well. Gabes feet are incredibly quick. The entire group plays with their hair on fire. Brockington is just an alpha out there.

Jimmy Butler is a good one. I see a college-aged Demar Derozan.

I have always thought the birth of Hilton Magic was the THREE OVERTIME THRILLER WITH BARRY STEVENS & CO....

THE HOK FANS WERE REALLY PISSED OFF AFTER THAT GAME!!

Yeah, Barry Stevens (RIP), Ronnie Harris, Terrence Allen.....
And I see Jeff Grayer's name on this thread. I worked the desk at 20th C. Lanes in Ames, and Grayer came out one eve to bowl with his GF. He was smoother in basketball shoes than bowling shoes.....

Brockington has a cold, dark heart. And I mean that as a compliment. Just merciless.

Hlas thinks IB deserves his own thread too

 

[Aclone]

I’m not sure if we have had a player really like him before. I can’t think of anyone to compare him to.

Jeff Grayer.

I know you know the name.

 

[CascadeClone]

I think Stinson is a good comp. IB a better shooter tho i think. Ejim was much bigger, and Grayer i was just a kid so cant really say.

What gets me is his EXPLOSIVENESS.That quick twitch muscle thing. He's like a Monstar out there sometimes, just defying the laws of physics.

Immese physical gifts, great skills, and the mental part too - bball IQ, determination, confidence. He sounded like a coach in the postgame interview w Hefty. What a home run for TJ.

 

[t-noah]

I heard there was a possibility of him being out tonight...

I expect him to be questionable the day of the Baylor game.

 

[t-noah]

Hey why not! He's been our MJ lately.

 

[Cyched]

if you read the Athletic, very cool article about this start to the season featuring Izaiah.

More than Hilton Magic: Iowa State is 9-0, just smacked Iowa and isn’t stopping there

T.J. Otzelberger has not needed a "Year Zero." His first Cyclones team is good now, proving it again on Thursday against the Hawkeyes.

I expect him to be questionable the day of the Baylor game.

Why?

 

[t-noah]

Why?

CF messing with CF fans and Baylor (ala Iowa game last night. Enaruna was 'out' all day but made a nice recovery!) Shh! Keep it between you and I!

There are different tiers of transfer at ISU. In the Fred-era and beyond, I consider 3 to be elite. Royce, Kane, and Shayok. Here is how Brockington compares to them. Only 9 games in, but pretty damn impressive.

Brockington: 17.4 PPG. 7.8 RPG. 1.2 APG. 51.3 FG%. 47.8 3P%

Royce: 13.4 PPG. 9.3 RPG. 5 APG. 53.4 FG%. 33.3 3P%

Kane: 17.1 PPG. 6.8 RPG. 5.9 APG. 48.3 FG%. 39.8 3P%

Shayok: 18.7 PPG. 4.9 RPG. 2 APG. 49.6 FG%. 38.6 3P%
