Agree with you. I suspect the twins are going to be shooting - and making - a ton of three-pointers this season. At their height, who’s going to challenge their long-range shots?
I’m pretty sure I’m the only person on here who doesn’t think they’re destined for Springfield Mass when their 15 year NBA playing careers are done so I’m not sure where you’re getting that many here haven’t suggested a higher ceiling?
I posted an entire thread of good things I’m hearing from Pitt. Using past indicators to predict future success is not being a downer.
It's the offseason, perfect time for optimism.
(although, I tend to agree with you)
Yeah last year I expected nothing to almost a redshirt from the twins. But man, they not only showed athleticism, but shooting and also really good BB IQ that I just wonder how they were so overlooked by schools. They have attributes that project to the next level.
But if he is bigger and stronger, Pitt needs someone who can mix it up and rebound against the Dukies of the world.
You were someone who came to mind when I posted this, but I don't think you're alone in your opinion. Also don't think anyone has suggested that they'll be NBA HOFers, and don't recall anyone suggesting that they are even likely to make the NBA. For what it's worth, I don' think they're likely to make the NBA. However, I do believe that they will be very good ACC players, that they will be vastly improved next year, and that it's fairly likely that they will be playing professionally somewhere after their time at Pitt.
It’s silly to think a bad basketball player will be better by not playing basketball for a year. THAT is the silly part
Blake Hinson sat out with a blood disorder, was good before that happened. Not remotely close to the same situation. Does anyone on this site deal in reality?
I’m not a college basketball player? What kind of idiotic things can you guys come up with to say. It never ceases to amaze me
Then how idiotic is it to say an 19/20 yr old kid who’s working his butt off to improve can’t ?
Blake Hinson was actually a skilled basketball player before he had to sit out. He had a medical disease that sidelined him. You seem to be missing a key difference. But you’re a blind homer who thinks every player who plays for Pitt is a god until they turn their back on Pitt then they were never good and a problem
Because he sat out the most important year of growth not getting better? Lol. I swear you guys could see someone in a Pitt uniform take a shit on the court and claim it was good somehow.
No , I just don’t write off a kid as you’re doing and amazingly some guys do get better ( while some don’t ) we’ll see soon enough .
I was completely right? The team as constructed by Capel was an abomination. Any team surrounding John Hugley would be.
Not at all. I was the only poster in here who never bought into the John Hugley hype. High volume, lazy player who was a bad human. Credit to him for helping construct the team, but he was the biggest cancer we’ve had in 5 years. Once he was removed, the team gelled and had a solid, fun year. It was an all time call by me staying away from the Hugley train.
Sure it does. With John Hugley, none of those kids are talented to max out their abilities as they did last year. He clogs up paint, Burton Nike and Nelly can’t drive, get open 3’s for Hinson and Elliot. They all become way less talented and lose to Michigan and WVU by 30.
I am laughing so hard at your facts. I mean my god. Are you a standup comic
Correct. That must be it!
Which is y I said Santos was better. 1st to say champagnie was best player on team after like 4 games, got criticized for saying X wasn't that great of a point guard, and I believe 1st to say the twins have a good bit of potential and could actually contribute early. ....that being said, I hope Jeffress does awesome and I'm wrong.
When you combine the vote of confidence from Hinson with the stamp of disapproval from Bigballslover, you've got to be a bit excited.
