Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
I think people read too much into stuff. I do know this...this team will only be as good as their seniors..and last night those seniors SUCKED. I have no confidence in AJ. NONE. It is tough. Great kid, super bright future, been a bison for 22 years already. He offers a lot on the court other than offense, so it is hard to judge him by a box score, I hope people are aware of that. BUT...we NEED him to score. He was a better offensive player as a sophomore. I personally love Paul. Kid is so competitive. He looks like a total dick, because he competes. He is being asked to play a difference positive because a 2 year starter (with two more to play) quit on his team. You think it is easy to just switch positions? He is doing it for the team. I admire that. I also know how hard he works, and it is bordering on psycho. We will only go as far as those two kids take us.
With that said, the best players on the team are kids. The youth is fun. I hope we let Rocky get a ton of minutes. He is going to be a good one. Deng...just play him. Live with the mental lapses as he is still grasping the game. Imagine not growing up with the game, he lacks normal game flow...but he shows it time and time again when he gets a chance. The future at point guard just showed up. Enough said. I hope we roll with him and move paul to his normal spot and go. That is a good team. I get excited about where these guys are going. Last night was fun. We lost in the last two minutes of each half. Critical and we can grow from it.
Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.
