I don’t know a single person here who “hates” Wheeler. Now, if we want to argue about if he deserved the starting role and 20+ minutes, that’s a completely different story.
Maybe it’s over your head but shooting 10/20 is great unless he somehow made 0 free throws and 0 3s…
And even if that’s the case, 50% from the field is the average in CBB. So if your trying to use that as an argument against Bryce, then a “bad game” from his is the league average… I’d say...
He's been incredibly good with the ball in his hands until recently.. He looks disinterested like he's just going through the motions. Same disinterest that Oscar showed for a while before Cal called him out publicly. Something definitely going on behind the scenes with the whole team.
If players like Andre Drummond and Deandre Jordan still have a role in the NBA, Oscar certainly does. Jericho Sims is currently starting for the Knicks.. Kelly Olynik.. Steven Adam’s only job is to be a bully and enforcer in the pain and get and out back rebounds. And he’s a STARTER. PJ friggn...
Nobody trashed his talent or skill. The “hating” was about his effort and aloofness while on the floor. His head was elsewhere in games, especially on defense. He would make a great play one play and then take the next two plays off. They “hated” him for being Oscar the Aloof, not Oscar the...
Same here. Kansas had ZERO answer to Oscar down low. Yet for some reason we’d only feed him once every 10 possessions. It’s like he’d allergic to common sense and can’t live without adding adversity every chance he gets. Oh, this is working well? Can’t let our guys score that easily, let’s...
When Oscar and Toppin are in together, sometimes, yes. I love Toppin, but he's ALWAYS out of position. He relies on his hyper-athleticism for everything and has been able to skate by on it. But the offense becomes clunky
Exactly. In the NBA it's even a Flagrant 1 to walk under the shooters landing space. Jumping forward, backward, sideways - as long as the shot is natural and it's your momentum that's carrying you a specific direction and you aren't just trying to jump into the defender, it doesn't matter which...
Definitely a case of you seeing what you want to see because its very clear there's zero "clear out" and kicking until contact has been made. Shooter stayed vertical throughout his whole shot until contact. Maybe you missed physics class and were never an athlete, but when you get hit in the...
FRONT LEG ESTABLISHED? Doug Shows? Is that you? BOTH feet have to be established when the shooter LEAVES THE FLOOR. In the screenshot, the shooter was at the peak of his jump and had already released the ball and the defender is STILL moving forward. You can't honestly be that dumb 😂
Yeah, except that's not even true. The shooter is allowed whatever space his momentum carries him through. Are you going to tell me that if a guy comes in with a floater or layup, it's okay to undercut him once he passes "equal to his extended arm?" Give me a break.
