OT: Spencer tonight

[bac2therac]

Hawk you are big Derek and Hyatt fans and both but especially Derek have generally not been good. You said last year we needed to unleash Derek...well he has had ever opportunity thus far and looks more like a guard from the MAAC

Anyone catch Cam’s game vs UNC tonight? Trash talking Bacot and firing up the fan base with huge fist pump. oh, and the teams leading scorer. Remind me again of the posters saying he was too slow and couldn’t create his own shot ? Amazing how good he looks in a real offense that emphasizes player movement and ball movement.

So true everyone of those clowns, should never post an opinion on basketball again. What a joke these clowns say the same thing about Paul M and Oscar Palmquist wrong on all counts. The only difference between Cliff now and his sophomore season and this year is Paul M look at the result. If you know anything about Bball you understand how much better Paul And Cam are than the Guard play we are now seeing. This lineup is an absolute disaster

Keeping it Heel

UNC Basketball fans roast UConn’s Cam Spencer for Duke-style antics​

Sort of funny coming from them. And reason 236 why the College Hoops game is so much more fun.

He has to create the straw man argument that Cam is an all American NBA superstar savior bc he has no leg to stand on in the actual debate

Agreed on your take about why he is so anti spencer and refusing to accept reality. Hawk wants faster quicker guards. That's great. So do I. Agreed.

That's the theory of how you want to play. That doesn't mean a player like Spencer can't fit a role in that type of offense. You actually want to surround quick guards with knock-down 3 point shooters

Bottom line is Spencer is a very good college basketball player. He does more than just shoot 3's. He has been showcasing that all season and really had a great game last night. Mediocre 1 dimensional players as Hawk describes Spencer don't do what he did last night

The fact that he was courted by the defending national champs should settle this. He’s an average-ish athlete with a great shot, great instincts and an elite competitive spirit. My guess is we’re a 1 loss team with him at this point - Illinois. They’re good. And seasoned.

And his slump last year was bizarre. It wasn’t like he was tossing up air balls and clunkers - many in and outs. You have to laugh. And he had some crafty moves to create his shot, Forget which commentator said it was like there was glass over the hoop. My guess is he’s a G-Leaguer next year.

Hawk - watch this.

Miss the kid, but harbor no hard feelings for him leaving. It was 100% the right move for him. He will quite possibly win a natty and play in the NBA. Neither of which were happening if he stayed.
