OT: Villanova coach refers to Derek Simpson as "elite"

There was NO way he could have stayed.

Couldn't finish at the rim and a poor 3 point shooter. High volume shooter of mid range jumpers off the dribble. Go down a level and possibly have more success in getting to the rim. He had to settle for the mid range shots at this level.

Beautiful form shooting but way too many bricks...legit had me wondering if he had some sort of vision problem.
 
Happy for him but where is my best Rodney Dangerfield - "elite at what, I don't know."
 
Derek had the build of a high school senior. I was shocked he so looked like that as a sophomore. Bad FG%, great FT%. There's no way I would want him for our team this year over Derkack, or really any of our rotation guys. Possible exception is Acuff but let's see what he looks like when he gets more into game condition.
 
Derrick, might have performed better with better pieces around him, he was not of the caliber to carry a big ten team, expectations were beyond his skill set, he needed to be developed. To much to do and to little time for development.
 
Hope Simpson has success. I was one who told people he wasn't as good as they thought after the end of his freshman year and then that he wasn't was bad as they said last year.
 
I do believe that Derek hit the game winning shot against Stonehenge last year. Of course Stonehenge was a bunch of stiffs and wound up only winning four games.
 
I wish him well but there was a reason I started calling him CLANG last year. That was the only sound the ball made when he shot it.
