Zoom

[BigBluefoot]

just read the post that are out there. It isn’t criticism, it’s like children kicking and screaming because things aren’t what they want and there is a lot of hate. Open your eyes or better yet invest in a pair of reading glasses, there’s so much hate on this board that it’s ridridiculous

I haven't seen any on this thread. As long as it's not personal, critiquing his performance is fair game. If one can accept praise when they have a good game, they should be able to accept critique when they don't. Beyond that, there is swath of people on here, with some just being a holes in real life, or drunk etc. It's hardly a representation of the large majority here. I'm particularly fascinated why some of you on here take it as a personal job to try and police it. That's futile. Am I way off base, or is this a participation trophy generation thing?

I was referencing last nights game thread, 5 minutes in and people were already dogging him and the team.

Last night was the first I’ve seen this years version of the cats and as a PG I was not impressed at all with Zoom. He’s not a bad player he’s just not what you want as a PG as he doesn’t facilitate the offense and ended up with twice as many turnovers as assist (2), which is the same amount Moreno had.

the first 7 minutes of the game were atrocious.

And they are paid mercenaries now. People still pretending they "kids" and cant be critiqued for play is crazy to me.

with 3 exhibition games under their belt, and a practice season that starts earlier than ever, and more summer ball than ever. it was the first game of the season, but its not the first game of the season if you know what i mean.

almost at no point during the 4 games played so far has the starting 5 looked good together. its only looked good when there were some changes in the lineup.

i know its a small thing....but there were 13 other SEC games played the first 2 days of the season. in those games, 10 SEC teams scored more points that UK. and florida played miami to open. and lets not pretend manhattan is some sleeper good team.

He needs to be involved in the paint with smaller guards. Coming off the bench. Will have to many TO’s to be in the starting lineup. Williams has a much higher ceiling. My humble opinion.

You continue critiquing the paid mercenaries and I’ll continue critiquing the Rupps rafters doomsday posters

Maybe for the first time ever I agree with that snake Kyle Tucker. Just looks lost out there and has never been a great shooter. He threw a lob tonight that hit a guy in the chest.

Why don't you talk about the two nice dish assist and finishing at the rim was noticely better too. Some just look for the negatives to dwell on

U do u boo. We can take the criticism. As can the players.

even though it's a zoom thread, I'll just say this : the money we paid Momcilovic looks extremely well spent. He stood out on day one across the country for his stat line and looks like an all american.

.... just sayin'....

I'm looking at the positives here and thinking back to the game when Zoom and Wilkins were getting Mom the ball when he was open.

I like Zoom's length and I want to see energy to defend and rebound to go with his size. Period. He stepped into the lane for some nice steals, swipes. It's still feeling out his best general purpose role out there.

Wilkins is a shooting guard but good PG, Williams is a stud (shh)

I had doubts about how well he would ultimately fit in, but now, I see the light at the end of that upside tunnel. I hope people will chill out and give him his chances. We need him bigtime.

I still think Mason will take us further but if he plays like he did second half and late in the first he can be a nice piece. He has the size to really guard SEC guards and wings. That should be his calling card to me.

Not sure if anyone has to look or dwell to find issues with his game. The people that get on here to just trash Pope and the people that cry when anyone states an obvious fact that happens to be negative are equally annoying.

Diallo lacks basic fundamentals to play the point guard position.His handle is flawed to the point he was called for double dribble while bringing the ball up court by himself with no one guarding him.His passing is subpar and he doesn't keep the ball moving.I wish him well and hope he continues to improve but right now wilkins is the best option.

So points scored in game one can determine something?
