Someone is salty they were wrong about Shayok.
Is there a way to see where someone like Joe Cremo or Randy Onwuasor scored at their previous schools compared to how they did at their final stops? I only ask because both those dudes but up huge numbers at their mid major schools and we’re relative busts at their high major final stop
Dotson is a pass-first point guard and Dok will never play enough minutes to lead KU in scoring. Tucker could easily fill that role as could Hampton.
Who? Did I make some sort of prediction about Shayok? He had an excellent year.
I am just saying that putting Shayok's G League combine invite out there as an example of what playing in ISU's offensive system can do for you is pretty lame. Grimes stunk last year and got invited to the NBA combine along with Dotson and Lawson.
I cut out the stuff where he said last year's team was the deepest and most talented team in Bill Self's career just to get to the Shayok stuff
Dotson being a 5 star recruit had nothing to do with his combine invite. Lol you are clueless. Look at THT and what ISU can do for someone who wasn't even a top 50 recruit
Memphis appear to be back to their Calipari/Pastner ways with recruiting $$$$$.
There are examples of any point you want to make out there if you look for them.
And those guys were only going to be lottery picks if the OAD rule didnt exist and they didnt get exposed by a year in college as raw (Diallo) and mentally limited (Alexander). They are prime examples of why the OAD rule exists, to reduce the number of guys like that who NBA teams waste a 1st round pick on.
The argument isn't if coming to ISU got Shayok an invite or not rather a blue print of the accolades Prohm would sell Tucker he could get at ISU taking his role. Also Shayok wouldn't even have gotten a G-League invite without his time at ISU.
In one year Shayok went from an UVA 6th man to:
AP All-American Honorable Mention (19)
All-Big 12 First Team (19)
Big 12 All-Newcomer Team (19)
Big 12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player (19)
Big 12 All-Tournament Team (19)
Julius Erving Award Finalist (19)
Basketball Times All-District (19)
USBWA All-District VI (19)
NABC All-District 8 (19)
Big 12 Player of the Week (Jan. 17)
Naismith Trophy Midseason 30 Team (19)
CHOO CHOO! I'll catch the next train... I'd like to see ALL these new guys on the same court for the first time FIRST before boarding.
That said, love watching teams come together regardless of the record at year's end...
Dotson is not pass first. Do you even watch your team?
And you seriously do not believe that those accolades could be accomplished if he went to Kansas? Come on.
Yes. He just didnt have any players who could hit shots after he passed to them last year. He isn't going to be an 18 ppg player, he is too reluctant to shoot his three and hits it at too low a percentage.
Got to think that Shayock's career path and success here has to resonate with players like Tucker even with teams like Auburn and KU in the mix.
No, no. It's because Penny Hardaway is just that good of a coach and everyone wants to play for him.
Probably wouldn't. Kansas doesn't give players the offensive freedom Iowa State does. Also, Dotson got the combine invite because he is young and was a highly rated recruit. If Shayok was two years younger, he's 24, he would probably gotten invited. Combines are about potential and Dotson still has a ton of space to grow compared to Shayok. If you're coming to an ISU board, please take off your Jayhawk tinted glasses.
So if there are no other players who can hit shots on your roster all the focus will be on Tucker??? I thought that was your original argument he was going to be wide open and the defense couldnt focus on him. Which is it?
No problem -- here you go.
OVERALL // AGAINST TOP 100 (sample size)
CREMO

2.5 // 1.9 (1) @ Albany
3.6 // 2.1 (4) @ Albany
4.4 // 2.6 (2) @ Albany

-0.3 // -1.1 (17) @ Texas Tech
3.8 // 5.6 (2) @ Southern Utah
0.9 // 1.9 (23) @ Louisiana State
Tucker was more consistent against higher competition than either of them, though all of the examples have relatively limited sample sizes against competitive teams.
