This isn’t even a Missouri Valley Conference team, holy ****.
No it's about confidence sometimes. Matt openly admitted he had confidence issues at ISU his first year.
It has squat to do with being white and its kinda sad you took that angle.
People forget Matt struggled mentally. There were articles written about it.Yea but Matt was a decent player for a frosh, he was only really "disappointing" bc he was so highly regarded as a shooter coming out of HS. He was a good enough all around player to get by and earn minutes. Grill is a great athlete who, probably for the first time in his life is focusing solely on being a basketball player. The game just looks way to fast for him right now.
The first 3 Grill made this year I had someone behind me yelled to a friend a section away “what did I tell you, that’s the next Matt Thomas.” No way he took any time to come up with that comp because Grill played a total of 5 minutes in an Iowa State jersey. The comparison annoyed me ever since.No it's about confidence sometimes. Matt openly admitted he had confidence issues at ISU his first year.

It's purely a philosophy problem at that point. Do you hope your guys shoot themselves back to normal, or risk fully killing their confidence by red-lighting them and removing the potential outside threat from your game?But.. they don't, and it doesnt seem like we have adjusted for that. If you're a bad 3 point shooting team, you probably want to play a bit different than if you're a team that shoots the lights out. We've actually shot more 3s through 18 games this year than last year.
So because of that, and you not saying anything to that person about it, you're going to play the race card on me when I've compared the two of them mentally.The first 3 Grill made this year I had someone behind me yelled to a friend a section away “what did I tell you, that’s the next Matt Thomas.” No way he took any time to come up with that comp because Grill played a total of 5 minutes in an Iowa State jersey.
