WTF? At 6'3 he only scores from layups. An AA that positively cannot shoot. If the championship was on the line I'm 90% sure he completely bricks a 12 footer, I'm 99% sure, he completely bricks a 3. Briscoe may declare but overseas is where he will be. Still good money.
Briscoe Unhappy?

He's our best all around player this year. I've never seen such a good player catch so much unwarranted flack.
Who? Briscoe?!? Man wtf?!? See above post. Monk is by far, by faaaaaaaaaar our best player. Point.blank.period. you guys are really gassing Briscoe up. He is not AA Il put money he doesn't get drafted. Every guard in the NBA can at least shoot. Even Rondo shoots way better than Briscoe. No chance 0% NBA drafts a 6'3 guard that can't shoot. Now for the tender hearted fans, I like IB, but I'm just being truthful.
Good ol' Twitter and message boards, where any jabroni can make up something, attach "sources" to it, and it'll gain traction.
Sources tell me Seton Hall suck.
Wait, that one might be true.

Briscoe has his issues, but people who are acting like a guy who as a 6'3 PG is averaging 13.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 4.0 APG is terrible needs to have their head examined. Yes, Briscoe can't shoot, yes he has bad games, but he's also saved UK in multiple games this year as well. I'm not saying the guy's great and will be a star in the NBA or anything, but I don't know if I've ever seen an objectively good college player catch so much flack from their own fanbase.
Am crossing my fingers that he (re)fixes his stroke from the foul line by the time the NCAA Tourney kicks off, though. Keep the percentage hovering at least close to 70.

Remember, he is catching flack from unhappy people. The same ones who were trashing Marcus Lee last year and wishing he was here this year.
The same type of "fans" that were absolutely miserable the first 38 games of the 2014-2015 season. Just looking for anything to whine about. I'm rather pessimistic myself, and yes, there's always things you want to see your team improve upon, but it just gets to a point with some posters where I wonder, why do they even watch if nothing's going to make them happy?
Posted on a Pirates "bored" ,he wants to be closer to "come" ? You are a special kind of stupid.
Kemba walker "couldn't shoot" either and exploded his jr year. Briscoe gets to the goal and picks up lots of fouls. Put him in a role to pick up lots of assists and he will explode as evidenced by his triple double. If he can become a great college guard I think he gets picked up in the draft.
Lol his abysmal ft% has little to nothing to do with it.....he cannot shoot period! I'm not saying he a bad player I'm saying this to those who believe he will be drafted, or be AA. I don't know of him "saving" us this year, but I do know he is a 6'3 point guard that had only one dimension, and that is layups. The layups he does very well but not enough to leave unless playing overseas.
Kemba Walker "shot" them into 10 straight winning games winning the big east, and NCAA title. Extremely bad comparison considering our coach when asked, "if you could go back and sign a player you didn't recruit, who would it be?"
"Kemba Walker".
I think you may need to work on reading comprehension.
It's not that far-fetched if he can make the same improvements on his shooting next offseason he made this past offseason. Kid knows how to play the game, even with the mistakes. His instincts are good. He plays hard. He gets exceptional rebounding position for a guard (If he could grow 5 inches he'd be a great PF.) He's a good passer and a pretty strong finisher when he's under control. If he were to play here another year, he'd be another year older and stronger. AA is probably a bit of a reach, but 1st team All-SEC isn't a huge stretch.
Hell, WCS was first-team AA his junior year and he averaged 8 and 6.
Can you imagine the crazy things both of those guys are talking about on the Seton Hall board?
If they win games it gets live for about 5 hours after that win and I'm not kidding.
You're a very special person there Colorado Springs. If you think Kemba can't shoot then Briscoe is a lost cause.
Show me where I said that. Hell nobody in the entire thread said that. Once again you need to work on reading comprehension. Moron.
Someone said Kemba was labeled as a "couldn't shoot" player.. I can't recall.. but that was clearly a bad write-up of him.. that dude has been an exceptional shooter since his his Uconn days and into the NBA.
Kemba shouldn't even be brought up in this discussion.

When I said it was news to me that Kemba could not shoot, you dropped your two cents in to troll. I technically never said you said Kemba can not shoot. Show me where I said, pikespeak said Kemba could not shoot.". Reading comprehension, learn it.
In this very thread you've got poster saying.
He's a guaranteed all American if he returns. Not true.
He's leaving for the pros. Overseas?
If he returned he'd be our best player? Then we'd be in serious trouble.
If he returned he'd be starting point guard? Oh can't wait for 5 players on the floor who absolutely cannot shoot worth a damn.
He's the best player in this team? Give me a MF break.
Some of you are downright delusional when it comes to IB. That's as nice as it can be put.
No bias, I love Briscoe. He's tough, he rebounds, he plays hard, he plays defense. However, he will never be a good shooter. He's shooting 28% from 3 and he only shoots when he's wide open. Also, you keep saying that he "improved" his free throw shooting this year, but in reality he's probably a 66% FT shooter and he just went mental last year and shot 46% because of it. He needs to stick with what he's good at (driving, dishing out assists, rebounding, playing D, and playing hard), but it's a huge stretch to say that he could be a AA. Also, word is that he hates school so he's probably gone. I hope that's wrong and he comes back and improves. He's not a shooter and he won't be a AA.
What's his 3 point shooting average the last 15 games?
What's his percentag from the floor (jump shot) the last 15 games?
The thing is we all like Briscoe, but the role he's in at UK and the pumping of his game well beyond his means is full retard around here lately.
Having said that I do believe if he plays within himself and doesn't try to be a star he could be a very important piece to a title run.
"Exceptional shooter"?
He might be now, but until the last 2 years, he was a volume guy. His 1st 4 years in the NBA, he never shot above 33.3% on 3's. He wasn't any better at UConn, a career 32.6% three point shooter, never better than 33.9%.
Which I think helps illustrate part of the reason why Cal has trouble getting shooters at UK. Yeah, he could put some more emphasis on Luke Kennard types, but what Cal is mainly recruiting is NBA-level size, athleticism, and defensive potential. The Jamal Murrays and Malik Monks of the world are rare birds, guys who come with all of that plus a reliable jumpshot. Most players take time to develop as outside shooters- it's the one area of the game where numerous guys show dramatic improvement over the course of time. No 30% 3 point shooter is ever going to transform into Steph Curry, and some guys just never get it, but lots of mediocre to bad shooters become pretty proficient if they last in the NBA.
Kawhi Leonard hit 41 three pointers in 2 years in college, and shot 25%. Now he makes 2 a game and shoots 39%. Kyle Lowry hit 13 three pointers in 2 years at Villanova. Now he's 5th in the NBA in made 3's, and hitting them at 41.7%. Isaiah Thomas was a 32.5% three point shooter in college. He's 6th in the NBA in made 3's, and shooting 38.4%.
Yes he's so angry with how he's being treated here that he's willing to transfer to a program like Seton Hall.
