Fact?
Click to expand...

Yeah "the fact" that he thinks. Words can have different meanings depending on the context in which they are used. Spelled out for you, it's a fact in his mind that the majority of the charges he took were taken because he was often out of position because he was slow and thus found himself in the perfect position to take a charge.

I know you haven't been able to post around these parts for awhile so I will just chalk it up to rust. But contrary to what you probably believe some people on this forum actually post logical/meaningful stuff.

Back to Hughes, I am interested to see whether he plays the 2 or 3 for us. At the 2, he should have a major height advantage over most 2Gs in the league and combined with his athleticism, that will be a really handy weapon to have. If he plays at the 3, he'll likely still be even as a lot of the Valley teams roll out 3 guard lineups anyhow, us included.

In any case, one of the first things that jumps off the page is his dunking in his videos so I hope he doesn't go the route of Khristian and settle for jump shots when he can take it to the cup. In taking 29 charges we also know he isn't shy about contact so if he is a good FT shooter, that is also something we could use from that spot.

I think most years we have 2 smaller guards that we will want on the floor most of the time. The only way he will play much 2G is if we sign a really good player that can fill the SF spot. There is a possibility that, on offense, he might be a better handler/passer than Key and Key could be at the SF.

Yeah, I can't find fault in any of that. It just got me thinking since we don't really have a true backup point coming in and I could see Scott shifting down there for short spurts. Will be intriguing to see how Lansing arranges the guys coming in, especially depending on the last piece.

That's true. It could depend on whether BS or Q or KEY can play some PG. I hope JB can play long, consistent minutes. I still think BS will play some point and Q will if he can hold his TO's down.

In the press release from his prep school announcing his commitment to State, his coach mentioned Hughes being the best athlete he's ever coached. That's pretty high praise from a coach of a fairly esteemed prep school.

I agree with your Smith reference. Hughes needs to use his freak athleticism to his advantage and attack he rim. The rules in college basketball so greatly benefit the offensive aggressor that it's in his best interest to attack, attack and attack some more. Let Scott and Barnes take care of the set outside shots.

Why do you guys think Tyreke cannot play the point guard position I see alot of doubt on here,I think that is where he belongs looks like to me you could run a lot of motion offense with all these ball handlers I am pretty sure he can play it if need be.

The speed of the game will take anyone time to get use to but I think he will be just fine don't want to turn Hughes profile in to a Tyreke thing by the way Hughes looks great should have some great highlights over next 4 years lots of athleticism gonna be on this team looks like.

Though Hughes is a freshman, the extra year at Hargrave should be nothing but a plus. That program doesn't schedule weak teams and just practicing with the volume of D1 guys will help his transition.

I am thinking that the traditional point-guard-as-offense-starter is going to be less about the J.O. days of bringing it up and facilitating and might be more of a get it to one of two-three cats as push it to maximize the athletic talent that appears to be on the way.

‏@ClaymaneeeeYooo

The last two years at Indiana State have been an amazing experience with an even better group of people! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys to hoop with.. but sadly, my time here has come to an end and I will be transferring to wherever God wants me next #onelove��
