Oskar?

Not sure why people keep expecting HC Pike to have a 14 man rotation with every player getting 15mpg.
He is not in the rotation.

Well, whatever happens, I wish him the best. But it’s a long season and injuries do happen, so depth is not a bad thing. He did get his feet wet a little last year.
The new version of “think Luke Nathan can give us 10 minutes a game?”
Didn’t we use Luke against Purdue last year due to foul trouble and injuries? Maybe I’m thinking of another game.
By all accounts he's a good kid, a good teammate and a good student. I wish him well whether he plays less than a minute a game or twenty.
He literally played one minute and got two personals. 6 minutes vs Central CT was his high on the year - the only game he recorded any stats other than fouls.
Okay. One thing is for certain - we use or overuse the word “literally” on this board more than Luke was used.
I’m no insider but every time I see him up close he’s quick with a big genuine smile and seems like a positive young man. I certainly wish him well and I’m glad he’s stuck around.
It wouldn't be the RU bball message board without the yearly "find the savior at the end of the bench" thread. Doucoure, Nathan, now Oskar.
Yep literallyOkay. One thing is for certain - we use or overuse the word “literally” on this board more than Luke was used.
There really isn't a role for Oskar on this team. His claim to fame coming in was that he was a sharpshooter from 3. Not so. So aside from throwing a few fouls on an opposing big guy, there's not a role on the team that he is not the third option for. He can take Nathan's role as head bench cheerleader.
Agree with others - he seems like an upbeat guy and great teammate.

But he played exactly one minute - I used it correctly. Just like Pike is using Oskar correctly.Okay. One thing is for certain - we use or overuse the word “literally” on this board more than Luke was used.
A player at the end of an NBA bench is much more likely to contribute than a player at the end of a college bench.
Lotus was referring to this. That is the NBa
Although my lack of reading made the joke not a joke. I thought it was 15 ppg. 15*14 = 210 points
You need players like Oskar for that reason. Not everyone is going to be in the rotation so having true unselfish positive players at the end of the bench is really all you can ask for
When was Doucoure the savior? He was a starter who slowly got demoted down the pecking order
Oh please, for 2 years after his demotion there were guys on here clamoring for Duke to get more PT.
It's very mean but my first though when reading this. You make good points - I'm just a bad person.
Guess who was out of the rotation early last year?
Dean Reiber
The not B1G player (some said) became the fan favorite to start at the 4 this year.

Actually, if I had omitted it, “one minute” would
have sounded like hyperbole. You made it sound like he played significant minutes vs Purdue - and you would be incorrect. If you prefer we just grunt at each other like caveman, we can do that too.
I see your point but it’s different. You can’t teach height so Dean was always going to have value on the roster one way or the other as a utility 5.
Being the 3rd option at the 4 is rough when your not fast enough to play 1-3. It’s a lot easier to just slide a 3 over to play 4 for filler minutes.
You read into that. I was just asking a question. I wasn't arguing the point one way or the other. Not sure how I made it "sound like he played significant minutes." Truth is that you came into the thread with a red *** about bench players.
His time last season was pretty tied to foul issues for Cliff. It was not the case that his time increased as the season went along.
My point was Nov 1 2021 Dean was not in rotation. Jan 1 he was.
just because Oskar isn’t rotation doesn’t mean he won’t in future. However the fact that he hasn’t been in the rotation his whole career doesn’t bode well.

Clearly you’re misinterpreting as well if you think I was in any way riled up. I mean I LITERALLY made a joke about how this is the new Nathan scenario. (Hope your *** isn’t too red about someone using that word). Think I’m good with this thread! On to Columbia.
We could find a stat to support anything, but 7 of 17 from the field 5 of 11 from three and 3 of 6 from the line for the season isn't going to get it done.
