Stapleton and Wright Transfering

[o_dawgnabit]

Just announced on Twitter. Knew someone had to go. Figured it was going to be wright and datcher

 

[Dawgs'n'Grizz]

Not bothered one bit by this. Wright has still has great potential, but there just isn't room for him. I think we will see better on-court chemistry with X gone.

This is why you oversign in college basketball. The numbers always work out.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Not an issue as long as Q, Nick, & Lamar all return.

A little surprised by X leaving. I thought he had a role on next year’s team.

 

[War Machine Dawg]

I am too. X really stepped up down the stretch this season. Of course, he almost blew the Baylor game, but that's a different story.

Glad X is gone. Dude had like 4 good games out of 30+. The other games he brought nothing or technical fouls. I’ve never seen a guy who wasn’t good have an attitude like he did.

Bye Leficia.

I said the same thing and was scolded, so you bettah watch out.

Wright has a ton of potential, but I think he has a better chance to tap it at a smaller school.

X probably had a place on next year's team, but he is and always has been a headcase. What was it Ron White said a while back? You can't fix something...

 

[HD6]

I think that's sort of the point. He has a role, but he wants to be a star.

I assume X will be a grad transfer since he already sat out a year.
He could be a great transfer. He was a great 3pt shooter for the team and gave a ton of energy. His athleticism will help a lot of teams.

Wright imwas in a log jam. No chance to get more minutes. Sucks- he has wild athleticism.

Rightttt

You and I have much different definitions of a great shooter..

 

[FlotownDawg]

He was great at shooting the ball. He wasn’t great at making it.

Physically, has tons of talent BUT mentally, let his emotions get in the way to the point of being 'uncontrollable.' More interested in X than the team.

 

[dawgstudent]

Stapleton is abou to graduate from State so your assumption is correct.

 

[kired]

Our team is a little deceiving... you'd think Stapleton is a decent 3-pt shooter if you only watched our team, because we honestly don't have a good 3-pt shooter. Holman is the best we have at actually making 3s.

One thing that always disappointed me with X is that every once in a while we'd see one of these ridiculous monster dunks, but it was like he could only do that once or twice a year. Guess based on those rare glimpses of athleticism I always felt like he should have been capable of a lot more that what we typically saw. I'm sure the knee injuries have limited his development in college.

I said he was a great shooter for our team. Statistically, he was. He was, for all intents and purposes, the 2nd best outside shooter on the team.
That, to me, means he was a great shooter for the team.

I dont think he is a great shooter in general. He is above average from deep if i consider all outside shooters, but he is hardly great.


My comment really was specific to this year's team.

Yes, the jawing and borderline taunting got old, especially after he was T'd up for it a couple times.

Pretty solid chance the Weatherspoons are back to play together one more year. However, I'm very concerned that Peters is looking for any reason to ditch school and move on. Hope I'm wrong but I feel like if he thinks there is even a decent chance he'll get drafted then he gone.
