Nice pass by lottery pick Peters.........
- Thread starter Fighting Irish.sixpack
- Start date
He's 4-4 with 8 points and a great kickout when doubled a couple of minutes ago, but rage on I guess.
and a tap in for 10 as I type...
I gave you a thumbs up, because I think you nailed the number. We have had 3 players in our history who played significant minutes in the NBA unless I'm forgetting somebody. None of them played for Stansbury, which is why I found his accomplishments so impressive.
It's sad to watch. Peters 25 minute line tonight is 1-6 FG, 4 TOs, 1 A, 0 R. WTF has happened to him?
I think it’s because nobody plays as a team. The reason we have a 1:1 assist to TO ratio isn’t just because we have a lot of TOs, it’s because nobody shares the damn ball. Nobody sets anybody up or passes the ball with actual purpose. It’s more like “I don’t have an open shot, so here you can have it”...they’re not playing the game.
It’s not drastic to say this is the most selfish team of players I’ve ever seen where the State uniforms.
That non conference record didn’t fool anybody and it sure as **** didn’t help the team.
Maybe it’s just me, but the guys hardly even act like the like each other out there. Even the spoon brothers bout got in a fight in the Arky game, which I just chalked up to siblings being siblings.

I watched Rodney Hood get tossed in an NBA game just last night. As he was heading to the lockers, a fan seated on the end of a row was using his cell phone to video his exit.
Hood took 'exception' and slapped said phone out of his hand. +1 on the 'block'
Saw that too and realized I didn't count Hood. Was just thinking of players who finished at State. He is #4.
No, Howell, Brown, Malone and now Hood were the 4 I thought of. Brown didn't play a lot of years in the NBA, but played quite a few mnutes. And he played for 15 years as a pro...

Well, I 17'd that all up. Pretty bad not to be able to count up to 4 or 5 players. I had all but Hood, including Dampier and Brown in my head last night because I remember wondering if I should acknowledge that Damp played under Stans as an asst. coach. Still called it 3. Then just went up to 4 this morning with Hood and left Dampier off.
I watched Rickey play for the Hawks a lot in those days because you could get their games on TBS. Anyway, 5 it is and I need an early onset Alzheimer test.
Here's a whole list:

I'm only discussing guys who actually had NBA careers. Those other guys can all be proud they made a roster, but none of them were NBA caliber players, which shows how hard it is to make it in the NBA.
My little section of the discussion was about players we had who played significant minutes in the NBA. You jumped in with Dontae like I don't remember him. I just pointed out he doesn't apply.
You can bet the feeling is mutual.
