Marcus Carr...
- Thread starter JD1976
- Start date
I don’t think so, only saw him show up on a couple of the mocks. Not a real good shooter or the quickest guy in the world, his age is working against him as well. Real tough kid that always wants to take the big shot and seems to make it more often than not.
He was on the verge of a special season but Minnesota got hit with a lot of injuries and Carr started to wear down late in the year. I hope he does come back for another shot as I really enjoy watching him play.
As usual- your memory is faulty
That was the narrative about Parker Stewart .
A guard who a volume shooter with a modest at best accuracy .
Lots of dudes like that
If he doesn’t make the NBA, then he could make a very good living overseas. He isn’t going to improve his draft stock by coming back.
There could have been a person or 2 who said Carr wasn’t an ACC player but very few. It’s not hard to believe because unless they produce big every freshman stinks according to some on this board. But what he’ll do is latch on to that, twist it and use it to promote how wise he thinks he is.
Everyone thought Stewart sucked. Most thought Carr did as well. I tried to explain they were only freshmen but had a lot of potential
Agree on Stewart. Not on Carr.
And like I said there’s always a crew that bashes freshmen with few exceptions. So some of that noise is to be tuned out.

It should be noted, he still plays little to no defense.
Credit to you for being the board’s rationale compass once again, right?
Your memory is as bad as your grasp on reality
Exactly.
You know how much I like package deals, right? How bout we hire back Dan Cage and he delivers Carr and Stewart? I'm only 90% joking.
They picked eight total forwards on the first and second teams. The only guards on the first and second teams were Ayo Dosunmu and Joe Wieskamp, who is really more of a wing.
Volume, volume, volume
He made 43.3% of his twos and 31.7% of his threes. To put that into perspective, Xavier Johnson made 50.0% of his twos and 32.1% of his threes.
64% of their league getting bids is one of the best ever. 4 1 or 2 seeds is probably the 2nd best ever behind Big East 2011
What percent of those teams will get upset in their first game of the tournament?
I'm guessing three favorites, one winner isn't really the ratio they were looking for.
But maybe they are just too good to waste their time on something as lowly as the NCAA tournament.
Probably not many. They already played their season. These guys aren't interested in stepping down in class to play in the NCAAT.
Clemson having a complete meltdown for the final 4 minutes keeps smf’ s favorite coach alive at Rutgers
How do you not foul down two with only a six second difference between the game clock and shot clock? If they make a basket there you lose. You've got to foul and extend the game.
Bad coaching that’s how
Like having Simms 20 feet from the hoop most of the game
RU was so discombobulated on the offensive end the last 10 minutes of the game, I think their chances were better not fouling, imo.
Get the ball back between 6 & 10 seconds down by 2 and play it out if you don't get a turnover.
Or your opponent gets a layup off a lucky bounce and you go home.
When you are losing you want the game to last longer. When you are winning you want the game to end as soon as possible. Clemson was losing and guaranteed that the game would end as fast as possible.
I recall just about everyone thinking Carr was legit... Especially by the end of the year. Stewart was the one that was questioned more so by a lot.
You just want to have more points than your opponent when the game ends.
Just going by game flow, I think most coaches would would also take their chances and not foul there. If your opponent can shoot FTs and you do down 4, under :30 seconds, you're probably going home anyway.
Stewart is a shooter & a player that needed to develop physically and improve his athleticism. He really had no business being on the court as a true Fresh in the ACC, or any other major conference.
Not to mention they only had 5 fouls so they could have been super aggressive to try to get a steal and if they got to 7 fouls, its a 1 and 1. Plus, Clemson had no TOs. Lets say Rutgers misses a shot with 9-10 seconds left, how good of a look is a college team going to get in that scenario? Really really bad decision.
Of course if you are down four either way you are probably not going to win. But it's a lot better to be down four with 30 seconds left than with 10 seconds left. Teams come back from a four point deficit in the last 30 seconds pretty much all the time. Teams that are down four with 10 seconds left almost never win.
If most coaches take their chances not fouling there that would just be evidence that basketball coaches have the same problems with clock management that their football counterparts have.
Right. As soon as Rutgers crossed the half court line Clemson should have tried to trap them hard. Get a steal and you might get the game tying layup. Don't get the steal and get called for a foul, so what? Then do it again on the inbounds pass. Another chance for a steal. And if not, force them to make foul shots.
When you are losing you want to extend the game. When you are winning you want the game to be over. It really isn't that hard to understand. And yet for some people it is.
