You clearly don't watch the games, and you're diminishing the entire team's stats by your silly cupcake comment. Brooks was 7-11 last night, what bad shots did he take and how many?
If Miller played 30 minutes a game against teams like Albany for 5 games, you don’t think he could average 14 ?
Call me Nate Oats but I cringe everytime a midrange jumpshot is taking. They’re bad shots. I don’t care if they’re falling right now.
Maybe he did, but my post doesn't ONLY account for the last 5 games, does it? You're literally CHERRYPICKING.
You obviously haven't seen the schedule Miller's Fr and So years.
Dude what an absolutely HORRIFIC take. You'd rather see us lose than Brooks take shots. Your basketball IQ is below sea level. Cal is clearly DRAWING UP PLAYS for Brooks so he clearly disagrees with you.
22 and 8.
No no, you don't understand, it doesn't matter that those shots are falling, they're BAD SHOTS. Don't you get it? GAWD.
Brooks was injured for a good stretch. Didn't think it was fair to him. Your crying seems irrational.
Do you think this is a bad team? I actually think it’s one of the best we’ve had in years.
Your attempt to characterize my accurate critique of your absurd comment as crying is amusing and hackneyed.
I believe this team has the potential to be as good as the Maxey team. Right now we're not there, but we could be if everybody gets healthy and stays in their own lanes.
They aren't bad shots if the right people are taking them and they have adequate space to get them off.
The reason we play cupcake state so early and often is to give our guys confidence and time to jell. You're actually arguing that Brooks should take ZERO confidence from these games and, in fact, should voluntarily surrender his spot on the team and just ride the bench because you don't like him, despite the .500 shooting and the 14ppg.
Yes and no. Vs. Albany I saw him take one of those contested fadeaways...with 2 on the shot clock because Wheeler had pounded the air out of the ball and passed to TyTy in a crowd, and TyTy bailed out by shipping the rock to Brooks who had no choice but to shoot it.
In the Ohio game he tried at least two pullup with someone in his jersey. No shot clock factor. One he got stripped and he did not get a bucket off the other. May have been another that game. I'd like to see those removed from his game. Makes him more valuable.
No, he was absolutely not “far more physical.” I don’t know how anyone who knows basketball and watched him play would make such a nonsensical statement.
PasadenaCat strikes again. I think LowCountry is saying that you know very little about basketball based on the lack of intelligence you display on this board. You may be an expert in basketball but unable to express it properly when posting for us all to see.
You always finish your posts with absurd claims. So his points per game and shooting average are 'awful?'
Brooks is averaging the 2nd highest number of turnovers a game. He is almost as high as the freaking PG who's job is to handle and distribute the ball. If you honestly don't think he is a poor ball-handler, you're more blind than Stevie Wonder.
He also has 0 steals, 0.2 assists, 1 block and barely 5 boards a game. He is softer than Charmin and is awful at almost every aspect of the game.
I don't think we beat Ohio without Brooks.
So you're comparing a SENIOR Miller to a JUNIOR Brooks?
Yes, his 3pt % is awful. He does okay on his 2 pt jumpers when he isn't getting stripped, but he isn't reliable enough or good enough to get it whenever he wants. It also isn't enough to negate the negatives he gives up. He is horrible defensively. He doesn't block a lot of shots, doesn't rebound well for his size or position, turns it over a lot, doesn't generate steals or turnovers, is a horrible ball handler and passer and provides no energy or leadership.
56% from the field inside the arc FOR THE YEAR is "okay?" Man you are trying way too hard.
I just posted two videos where Brooks put the ball on the floor and scored over his man.
