Way too much stock getting put into exhibition. 
 

Agreed somewhat.  That was the first I've seen of Franklin.  Maybe he collapses too as the season progresses.  He far outplayed Phinisee last night though.

Phinisees first action in like a month. You have to put things in context

Did you watch the game?  I don't care that he hasn't played in a month, he was making bad decisions.  That mid court pass to Race was dumber than dumb.  A month out of action doesn't explain that.

Except you have a body of work where he was rusty from a concussion and still had 2.8 assist to turnover ratio

[IUc2016 6,919]

did you watch his defense last year on Markus Howard and Cassius Winston?

No but once again regardless it wouldn’t move the needle because we have actually seen a body of work from Phinisee.

I did. I choose to make my beliefs based on how he played in numerous games and not one game.

I did. Phinisee was NOT good last night. Not good at all.

However, he WAS very good last year during the last month of the season. Rest assured, going about a month without seeing the court matters. Could also be he just had a bad night. He's had so many good ones in his short time at IU. Absolutely no worries with Rob Phinisee as the primary guy at the point for the next three years.

Me too.  He was good pre concussion last year, and ok after.  Look, I'm not saying he's terrible, just that I'm not as high on him as this board is

Based on a make believe slump that didn’t happen. Other than his shooting his play was stellar in March

Agree somewhat.  I do see potential, but I have concerns too.  He's very up and down.  By his senior year I'm sure he'll be solid.  In the meantime, I'm glad we have options.

Lol, you have me rolling.  Is your world the only true one?

You don't remember a slump?  Lol. Also, you're talking up a game you didn't watch?  Oh boy.  I'm done here.

You do realize, that barring injuries, Franklin is not a PG. most likely the 4th in line at the PG position if everyone is healthy enough to play.

So you're going to ignore a month of good play in March last year, but base your current opinion of him on one bad decision after not playing for a month?   Got it.   

My God there are so many people here who expect perfection on every possession and jump on players, coaches, and administrators when not every single thing goes perfectly.    It's exhausting.

In IU's last 5 games a year ago, he had 18 assists, 9 turnovers, and 26 rebounds.   By the way.

Maybe don't post much about him for a few weeks.

Is this the most scrutinized exhibition game of all time lol. I am sorry but you can't take hardly anything away from them. The game doesn't count and everyone knows it. Let's see what happens next Tuesday and let's hope it goes great because the mob is ready to burn down the town

Football season is going better than expected so all that projected angst and bitterness desperately needs an outlet!
