Hoiskers 5.5 favorites over Arizona St in the crown tournament

Berke rebounds. His offensive game was starting to look good before the injury in the first OSU game. I'll be glad to see him back next year.

I was huge on Berke, but I'm sorry an ankle injury should not affect your play like it did to him. Maybe a little, but that game against Michigan was the last straw

I’m not a huge fan of Berke but he looks like a superstar compared to Meah. He is one of the worst basketball player I’ve ever watched. Just watch him when he’s in the game, it’s incredible.

No that is NOT Fred ball... they did not play isolation last year when they had multiple scoring threats. You tell me what kind offense you'd run with wjat Fred has to work with this year

I could give more detail but I am going to keep these short

We play isolation, because...

Berke - Is a below average shooter... terrible passer... has terrible footwork.
Essegian - Not sure what his game is, and he is a streak shooter. He just didn't work in this offense, because of how easy he was to defend. No other threats for a 3 ball outside of Williams
Gary - Pretty sure he is below .500 on open layups this year, and he is our second best scoring option. Just sad!
Hoiberg - He is good at one thing and that does not involve the offense
Meah - He is what I like to call an offensive black hole
Morgan - He was good at two things backing up defenders and put backs. Hard to get a guy that is good at nothing else involved in an offense.
Ulis - He could dribble and pass, but was also an offensive liability
Worster - I plead the fifth

Couldn’t have said it better.

But I will comment on Worster despite my legal counsel’s wishes. He’s big for a 1 which is good, takes care of the ball fairly well. Can get to the rim and he can post/back down certain defenders in the paint. And he doesn’t look like he’s playing with a lot of confidence on offense IMO. Mostly cause he can’t shoot, like at all. No mid range game and not a 3 point threat. Defenders are too good in the B1G, he can’t utilize his strengths when defenders just let him shoot and then lock him down inside the 3 point line. And then you start missing shots around the basket you normally make and your confidence gets rattled. Rollie needs a jumper, it’s as simple as that.

You have to be freakishly athletic to get by defenders on the perimeter, in the B1G, without a jumper. Rollie isn’t THAT athletic. He needs a jumper. I think he could be pretty good player if he could learn to shoot the ball. Most guys kinda are who they are at this level and point in their career, but not always.

A former D-1 head coach told me long ago that college guards are generally pretty much who they are going to be skill wise by the end of their first season. He said, you can teach big men and make them much better over their career but most guards won't change that much. Rollie has played for at least 4 years not right? He isn't getting any better. Maybe he could improve his free throw shooting or wide open 3 point shooting, but I doubt he could improve much.
