I like Devonte MUCH more than most... I do yell at him from time to time but he seems like a net-positive to me. Fitzner is what he is and doesn't see the floor as often so he doesn't usually catch my ire! LOL Stromboli, Hollywood Mike Miranda and Stuhoo 3
Stuhoo Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 For me? 1) Fitzner 2) DeVonte 3) Justin "I Yelled at Him on TV a Ton" Hall of Fame: Newkirk, Mandeville, Bracey, Simmons, Lawson, Jeremiah Rivers
Str8Hoosiers Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 For me it is 1.) Justin Smith.... I try to give him credit when he makes a drive or a dunk but pretty much everything else he does drives me crazy. 2.) Romeo.... I am sure I will get slammed for saying that since he is Mr Basketball, Top mock draft lotto pick, etc... but I yell at him (on TV) the 2nd most of anybody on this team... He gets his points quietly and we would for sure be worse without him this year... but he is also very costly in my opinion... his turnovers are bad... very bad, his basketball IQ was once considered a strength but I don't see it being very good. He doesn't know where to go with the ball, he doesn't move without the ball, and he has hero mentality. If we are down and making a comeback, we get it to down 3 I bet there is a 99% chance he is shooting a 3 the next time down the floor. Sometimes they fall but more often they don't and they end the momentum we had up to that point in the comeback. He fumbles easy passes, he doesn't make crisp passes and telegraphs where every pass is going before he passes it.... I think he is uber talented and will eventually be a great NBA player even, but he needs work.... and I would not blame him nor be upset if he gets that work while making millions. ALASKA HOOSIER 1

JSHoosier Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Pretty even between Smith and Green. schoosier 1
KingPG21 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 1) Smith - It is nuts to see a kid give so little shits 2) Green - Yeah he can do a lot of good things, be nice if he didn't try to every time it pops into his head 3) Fitzner - Why does he play?

maharkn Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Definitely Smith. Every time he dribbles Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Str8Hoosiers and ALASKA HOOSIER 2
LamarCheeks Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 At which IU player do I yell at most on TV? Usually, it's whoever has the ball! Alford Bailey, ALASKA HOOSIER, Class of '66 Old Fart and 2 others 1 4
Demo Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Smith, offensively. He’s just not an instinctive basketball player. He has to see it, and then process it before he reacts. You can literally watch his gears turning. Completely negates any athletic advantage he brings to a matchup. I feel bad for the kid. A lot, not all, of the criticism he gets for effort looks to me like late reaction from poor instincts. Morgan, defensively. Way too many inexcusable misreads for a player who’s played as much as he has.
Brass Cannon Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I pretty much only stop yelling when Juwan has the ball OliviaPope40 and ALASKA HOOSIER 2

Stuhoo Posted February 12, 2019 Author Posted February 12, 2019 Alright...I'll close it; but I think everyone is being kinda reasonable and good-natured so far! I see the point of Mag and Coop, and I suppose this has much more potential than other threads to turn downhill, so 'my bad'! Str8Hoosiers and ALASKA HOOSIER 1 1
