What exactly is McAdoo's strength

12/29/2012 3:10:56 PM

point blank dunk

12/29/2012 3:20:54 PM

McAdoo's major strength is that he wears baby blue

12/29/2012 3:23:15 PM

^bingo

12/29/2012 3:23:47 PM

Hess really in control now

12/29/2012 3:23:53 PM

NC State looks like a pro team compared to UNLV. soooo many rookie mistakes left and right for them

12/29/2012 3:24:58 PM

lol at that block call

12/29/2012 3:26:00 PM

UNLV has some really good shooters

12/29/2012 3:30:18 PM

LET'S GO UNLV!!!

12/29/2012 3:30:33 PM

After watching CJL and RH this year, JMM really has nothing on them offensively.

12/29/2012 3:33:37 PM

THUNDER

12/29/2012 3:36:32 PM

You think that much of Ryan Harrow?

12/29/2012 3:36:36 PM

Dumbass reach in fouls will kill UNLV

12/29/2012 3:38:48 PM

19 fouls to 5...

12/29/2012 3:40:28 PM

vtec doing the ACC proud

12/29/2012 3:40:35 PM

They are terrible.

People thought they were going to be good with their record but the schedule they have played is putrid.

12/29/2012 3:48:50 PM

Lol. Inconsistent calls

12/29/2012 3:50:16 PM

UNLV free throw shooting is killing them

12/29/2012 3:56:12 PM

both these teams suck. UNLV is just coughing it up. How are they top 20?

12/29/2012 3:58:08 PM

UNC is totally uncoached

12/29/2012 3:59:05 PM

^^1 loss early to Oregon, otherwise haven't played/beaten anyone of note

12/29/2012 3:59:49 PM

They are rated about where they should be. Tons of talent. Will take time to come together.

12/29/2012 4:00:08 PM

if they could shoot freethrows, it'd be a totally different game

12/29/2012 4:01:32 PM

16 of 27.

12/29/2012 4:02:28 PM

fouls and free throws. all they do is feed it to Reinhardt

12/29/2012 4:02:34 PM

Haha bad officiating is a double edged sword it seems

12/29/2012 4:07:15 PM

OK UNLV, let's see what you got.

12/29/2012 4:08:22 PM

Hope Hess doesn't hear Bilas. Hate to have an espn announcer ejected.

12/29/2012 4:09:23 PM

haha. Bilas, of all people, is complaining about flop?

12/29/2012 4:10:00 PM

lol @ Roy cheering for a missed FT

12/29/2012 4:11:23 PM

Fuck, big win for UNC. Keeps their NCAA tourney hopes alive.

12/29/2012 4:12:19 PM

can't believe I missed the first 10 seconds of the kraft fight hunger bowl watching that

12/29/2012 4:13:14 PM

Just wanted to note my post about McAdoo before the season. I've never seen a guy so overhyped.

Quote :

" The McAdoo hype machine is officially out of control at this point. Like the burger train just left bun station. I totally get the NBA draft projections because the guy is young and he's got the size, build, length etc that makes him a potential NBA impact player. But let's not forget that the guy was absolutely terrible for the majority of last season. Take a look at this guy's stats. Sure he was fine in the ACC/NCAA tournament as a role player. He has a knack for playing the passing lanes, generating steals, and converting them into transition dunks. Those are all great skills. But can this guy possibly live up to the hype where people think he can be a centerpiece for UNC offensively??? Player A: O-Rating 101.0, usage 19.9%, TS 47.8%, O-Reb 9.2%, D-Reb 15.6%, Ast 3.1, TO 13.4, Blk 2.1, Stl 3.0, 43.4% FG, 63.8% FT Player B: O-Rating 99.7, usage 18.9%, TS 47.9%, O-Reb 9.2%, D-Reb 14.8%, Ast 3.2, TO 14.5, Blk 3.0, Stl 0.6, 42.5% FG, 71.8% FT Wow, those numbers are remarkably similar across the board except for steals. Player A is McAdoo last year, the guy people think might beat our very own CJ Leslie and Zobransky for player of the year. Player B is Deshawn Painter last year, the guy everyone was lukewarm on transferring. This illustration is brought to you to remind you that UNC fans are absolutely fucking nuts. If you posted this on IC, people's heads would explode. They'd have to spin their way out of the math based conversation with some of the literary techniques they teach at that liberal arts fairy institution "

Erniedog who likes to wrong around in his wrongarie a lot had this to say

Quote :

"Did he not realize that JMM will improve a lot more between his first and second year "

So i dropped some 'ledge... (I wish i got paid for abbreviating. I could save a toosh-load of cash with some well placed briev's)

Quote :

" Of course JMM will improve. Where did I imply he would not improve? Do we expect him to be the most improved player in the world? The nation? The league? At UNC? What are we expecting here? How is a guy who was basically Deshawn Painter last year supposed to be better six months later than CJ Leslie, Zo-City, etc? It's just typical UNC fans. Last spring they all talked about how JMM sucked and wasn't ready for the pros. Now he's Antawn Jamison six months later. UNC fans are always completely unrealistic, but this is just extreme. I think they're going to be supremely disappointed if JMM doesn't dominate when in reality he's probably just going to be an above average ACC big man."

And for the record. JMM has gotten WORSE this year.

O-rating 95.6, 40.0 TS%, O-Reb 9.9%, D-Reb 17.9%, Ast 8%, TO 21.2%, Blk 0.8%, Stl 3.1%, FG 47%, FT 62%

Harrow playing well.

12/29/2012 5:54:08 PM

^^ considering his usage is up to 27% i dont know if it's fair to say he's gotten worse, but we all knew that would happen this year and he still sucks

12/29/2012 6:02:23 PM

What do those stats have to do with usage?

12/29/2012 6:07:02 PM

UK/UL is a comedy of errors right now.

But fun to watch.

[Edited on December 29, 2012 at 6:14 PM. Reason : also, UL would have beaten Duke by 8-10 with Deng there.]

12/29/2012 6:14:34 PM

Holy crap these refs are in calipari's pocket.

12/29/2012 6:14:43 PM

If you want to see how Tyler Lewis will play in the future, just look at Harrow.

Harrow's recent play would be an asset for us.

12/29/2012 6:18:46 PM

I still think Harrow has a lot of Kemba Walker's game in him. But he'll never be as headstrong and confident as him.

12/29/2012 6:19:32 PM

sorry Mcadoo's TS% was supposed to be 49.9% not 40.0 i must have hit the 0 instead of the 9.


But yes it is definitely fair to say he's gotten worse. He can't do anything offensively.

12/29/2012 6:39:02 PM

So of the PG currently in the league that could go in the first round, how would you rank them now after OOC play?

I would go:

Burke
carter-williams
Zo
smart
cannon

1/1/2013 1:30:02 AM

zo isnt going inthe 1st round

no chance

his 3pt shot is busted and he hasnt proven he can play the point at a high level. He can score, yes, but his efficiency has been subpar

1/1/2013 1:35:32 AM

There is all of ACC league play left buddy. For now I will assume that he had a set back from his surgery.

1/1/2013 1:47:27 AM

So nc state had multiple top ten plays today if I'm not mistaken.





In. Basketball obvioulsy

1/1/2013 1:47:44 AM

CJ had 8

and Mr no chance of going in the 1st round had #3.

1/1/2013 1:56:17 AM

Brown can make all the plays to be an NBA point. He's just a little out of control at times, turns the ball over too much and his long range shot it erratic. He's a homeless man's Russell Westbrook right now.
