I think every point guard in Minnesota should watch Mike Conley run point for the Wolves. He plays under control and makes everyone around him look better. He, in my mind is an all-star point guard. He knows when to be aggressive and when to pull it back and wait. That's what Hawkins can learn from.
He's grounded for throwing his easy mac during the Vikes lost.
How about hats off for Big Jack, the straw that stirs the drink in practice. The guy brings pure joy to his teammates. Easy to see they all appreciate his effort and attitude.
Yeah, he's like a less skilled Hosea that, for whatever reason, sends tingles up your spine. He had 4 fouls and led the team in turnovers in his 8 minutes. He's a really bad basketball player and was a complete waste of a scholarship.
In game threads never get much traction when there is nothing to melt down about.
He must’ve forgot, we can only say positive things about Ihnen’s performance on the court.
I will say the Barn was the most fun tonight when he was in. He was entertaining to watch and brings energy. With that said, it looks like he's been playing organized basketball (of any level) for about 2 years. If you told me he hadn't picked up a basketball before he played at Wazzu, I would believe you.
At the same time...
He isn’t skilled but he sure is a specimen
I believe he met with the entire team and said, "Cheer or die" but I could be mistaken.
A bit an overreaction? Holy cow, the guy is fulfilling the role of player-mascot and he is clearly liked by his teammates. It’s obvious in the light crowds at the Barn that he is a fan favorite and gives everyone a bit of a laugh, something welcomed in this horrible stretch. I’m not sure efficiency analysis on the last guy off the bench provides much.
I'd go with this.
He may have found his grove tonight
One of the fouls was phantom. But what I liked the most was when he bombed a free throw off the backboard and smiled. I smiled too knowing I could get you to write a thick brief screeching about what a terrible basketball player he is. I was right and I’m still laughing at you.
NO didn’t have a guard on their team with the last name Williams hitting clutch 3’s all night long
He found his groove in his first college game when he hit three straight in a couple of minutes.
That was nice, but he had a swagger to his shot tonight, a new air of confidence, and it was there the whole game, imo.
That’s Thorson in a nutshell. Some nights a little less. More as a head coach.
The pick foul was bogus. The big dude backing (trying to) him down was not a foul but the ref's are calling that on everyone this year. The obvious one was when he basically took the 6'11", 275 pound guy and launched him a few feet. He is what he is. Hope to RARELY see him on the court this season.
I think I know what you are saying…
Any time Big Jack sees the floor it will just provide an interlude of hilarity when Bob L. is compelled to write a 500-page pleading arguing how terrible he is and what a waste of scholarship it was to bring in a guy who inspires his teammates. All worth it.
