If he can find a shot during the offseason, he's going to be a huge weapon. 13 points per game from him, and he's getting close to all-American territory.

I don't think Denmon is big enough to get drafted, I think he will find a home somewhere.

Boozer had more polish precisely because he played a ton at Duke (and Boozer stayed 3 years). I don't agree that he's quicker, though. Robinson get's off the floor as well as any big man in the nation and his first step is pretty strong for a guy his size.

If he can become a good enough rebounder and play strong enough defense to get 30-35 minutes/gm, I don't see why he couldn't get 3-4 garbage buckets/gm, a couple FTs and a couple buckets off set plays.

Those f"ing Grapes Of Wrath inspiring ****s shot under 45% from the FT line? They couldn't miss against KSU. **** you Lon Kruger.

The problem might be Robinson getting 30-35 minutes a game. There are a ton of great PFs that are bigger than him and can do more offensively in the NBA.

I think English has a place in the league. He could play the 2 pretty well IMO.

Lon just has it out for KSU.

Did they shoot 60% from behind the arc against K-State?

I'll go ahead and let them hit 70% of their FTs if they'll go back to hitting 35% of their 3-point shots.

Dunno about that. If he's to small to get the shot off I dunno how he develops 3 or 4 inches like you Marcus couldn't.

I don't really think he needs to score much. If MU could get another big guy or two Pressey could be a 10 assist per game guy, by said big guy just hanging around the rim.

Sucks with the ball in his hands.

Last season was the year he experimented with trying to become a 2-guard and it did not work out well at all. His handles aren't good enough and his first step is pretty sub-standard for a 2-guard.

Maybe he could play the 3 if he continued to progress as a defender. There's no reason he couldn't become something of a Trevor Ariza type that plays plus defense and hits some big 3s.

OU missed an assload of free throws.


It's tough to win on the road in the conference, especially after a draining win like MU just had.

It's games like these that make me think one of the top 3 teams will slip up somewhere and it will cost them the conference.
