Why is Lucca Staiger an almost complete bust?

[benjay]

I am more than a little disappointed in Lucca's performance this year.

I am more than a little disappointed in your face.

If that was a serious post, wow. Complete bust because he shot 33% from 3 in one game? If that constitutes a bust give us 5 more of them. If you want to base a players season on a single game how about his 6 threes against Neb. or 7 (or 8?) against Drake.

From conception until sexual differentiation all mammalian fetuses within the same species look the same, regardless of sex. In humans this lasts for around 14 weeks after which, genetically-male fetuses begin producing male hormones such as testosterone. Usually, males' nipples do not change much past this point.

Most useful post in this whole thread!

Bring back neg rep.

I think that his knee must be hurting more than we know. He appeared to have almost zero vertical at the beginning of the year. Actually looks to be getting a little better. The guard play is why MU killed the clones yesterday. DG must have missed 7 layups yesterday. After a while MU was just leaving an open lane to the basket because they knew the ISU guards couldn't finish at the rim.

I am more than a little disappointed in Lucca's performance this year. I expected more. I blame this on his total reliance on the 3-point shot. In yesterday's game at Missouri he was 2-for-6 for 3-pointers and had NO points inside the 3-point line. He really, really, really needs to develop an "inside" game. It isn't like he's really short. Nebraska, for example, has only 4 players taller than him, and they are doing better than us so far this year.

And I thought the "what will Jamie be remembered for" thread was the loser post of the day.

I suggest you pay attention to the old saying: It's better to remain quiet and have people wonder if you're a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

The only thing about Lucca that has been a disappointment for me is his handle. It's something he really needs to address. Otherwise, I love the guy. As good as shooter as he was advertised, good competitor and he seems like a good kid.

Because he is a freshman, and you guys hyped him up like he was the second coming of Michael Jordan.

You guys? Bust? WTF is going on with this board the last few days?

 

[kingcy]

This is stupid ******* stupid. He has all of 3 Big 12 games under his belt and he is a bust already. ******* stupid. After his Sr year we will see if he is a bust. My gosh.

I just hope you forgot the sarcasm pirate. This may be the dumbest post ever

Haha wow great thread!!

 

[Clone9]

I'm actually embarrassed by this thread.

 

[Final42b]

He hasn't played at the same level as Melo did in his first year, so i would say that he is a bust.

I'm actually embarrassed by this thread.

So am I. You know this kind of crap will end up on the local sports talk shows.

 

[jtm]

Are you stupid or what??????????? Have you watched any games?

I read all the replies. They fall into one of two categories: (1) replies that attack my personally; or (2) replies that say, basically, that it is fine that he has about 5 points this year inside the 3-point line.

My point is that he could be doing so much more for us. We really need more points from the paint, and with his height and size there is absolutely no excuse that he can't score inside.

Then using the term bust is stupid if that's the point you wanted to make.

and DG could be doing so much more for us, and Brackins could be doing so much more for us, and Vanderbeken could be doing so much more for us, as could every other player...are you really that clueless? Just so you know, we did outscore Missouri in the paint, and look what that did for us.
