The Team Working Out Old School
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I know it’s not much to go off but I like how fluid Myles Johnson looked in that clip
I love The Barn...played a lot of Intramural BB games and open court games on Friday afternoons in that gym back in the day.
Went to the state Intramural tourney one year and lost to a Princeton team in the Finals. Grrrr
Thiam...keep working on your drives to the basket. I liked this short clip.

I think there were rumors that, despite redshirt, he was the best big man in practice by the end of the year. I also think his recruitment was a lot higher level before his junior year of HS knee injury... always love smart, passing big men... they can make an offense so much better
Confidence builds during the offseason.
Very impressive clip.
Johnson taking some hits. I am starting to like this team without Sanders. Sanders has a spot in Rutgers history, but throughout those years, focus was all on him.
It is good to see it distributed so every feels a strong fraction of the mission....March.

You can almost tell from the short clip that Thiam knows exactly what he needs to work on....driving to the basket. He was moving with a purpose.
He knows he needs to be a scorer. He has the potential. Needs to study Durant.
I disagree, he needs to study his own game film to see how many scoring opportunities he missed by not driving or taking open shots.
I think Baker will still be the most explosive scorer.
Looking back, I always thought Kiss would benefit from better shot selection. His shot is not explosive, or quick, but if he gets it in the right spot, I could see shots dropping. A screening Myles Johnson, or Shaq Carter will help a lot.

To be clear I am not excited for next season. We are going to stink. We have a chance in two years at post season play. Geo duke and kiss as seniors. Johnson, Mathis, Harper as juniors and this assumes a great 19 class. Multiple top 150 players.
I don't know that we're going to "stink" either. I am interested to see how the roster fills out. I don't think you can tell anything from a 45 second clip except that the team is working out.
Issa needs to work on his perimeter game. The few times he drove to the basket this year was pump faking open 3 point shots. Issa needs to be our Duncan Robinson that plays better D. No doubt he needs to be a threat to put the ball on the floor, but we need him to be thinking catch and shoot...and not just at the 3 point line. Issa isn't a slasher.
Also wouldn't mind him being a threat on the low blocks. Punish teams who want to guard Issa with a 6'3'' guard PLUS Issa is a willing passer and that can get great looks feeding from the low post.
Johnson looking leaner, smooth and quick!!!!! Like another poster noted, the kids recruiting was on the uptick then set back by a big injury. We may have a diamond in the rough here.
Thiam looking quicker too. Im excited for y3.
Baker i expect bigger things this year and a monster JR year if the pieces around him work.

The off season is at full throttle. Clips of practice, and everyone starts to see the improvement that is inevitably coming . . . Someone should email this clip to the BTN writer, who will immediately upgrade his projection.
You should just get your own board and be miserable by yourself.
This is a new one... guys being critical because we like seeing videos of the players working hard in the off season and got a quick peek at what they are working on with the assistant coach for guards.
All these off season videos are put out to keep the fan base excited about the future of the players and the program. The last one showed them working hard in the weight room.
I remember the "45 seconds" videos from last year and could tell that Eugene was improving and that Baker looked good moving on the court and making shoots...so those videos provided some clues.

You can certainly learn by watching how Durant plays. That is not the same as saying you will become Durant.
