feel bad for the kid

Damn good game, terrible that he missed all three free throws though.

Wow. Way to get back in it and hold on Zona.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Very fortunate to come out with a win tonight. Thanks Zags for a great game! Bear down

Gonna haunt him for a long time. 3rd miss was intentional but still...

Still stuck on Stanley Johnson a little bit, he's extremely overrated. Nothing too special so far to be completely honest.

i'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about with this one. It's a long year, and he is a freshman averaging 14 and 6 through 8 games. He also has consistently made the big shots when we've needed them. Did you really not watch any of the games we played in Maui?

 

[elijah]

I caught a few glimses, but even if he makes big shots, he's not there for the rest of the game.
Against San Diego State he shot 4-14, today he was 3-7 with 4 turnovers. Yeah it's nice to hit a big shot, but people talk about him like he's a lot more than he is.

well yeah, he got to the line and made 9/10 FTs to help close out that game, 18 pts to go with 9 rebounds and 3 steals. Stanley was a beast in Maui

I will concede that stanley was certainly underwhelming for long stretches today however, but its a long season and he is a freshman at the end of the day

Johnson is a stud. Try again elijah.

I'll play devils advocate but ultimately I am more with the Zona boys.


Has Robinson been eye popping? Dominate? Consistently Game changing? No.


But, hes 8 games into his career and has been very steady. Done well beyond the arc. Gets rebounds, consistently scores in double figures. Does a good job at the line(key for young players) especially in the clutch.


He's a very good player and it's scary how good he could potentially be come March already putting up extremely consistent numbers even if they are not "dominate" yet.

I like that you're posting more pphan

I've been so busy irl, lol.

 

[podsox]

no loser in this game. both teams are legit

Stanley certainly is big time and will probably be the highest draft pick on the team. He makes some freshman mistakes but I don't think he is overrated in the slightest.
