Eagle-2 388 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just now, Dual-Threat Rigby said: Asssuming we don't get the veteran point guard we've needed for like a decade now (not literally but you get what I mean), I have to hope that Pettiford can be like a Rob Dilly or Reed Shephard. That kid needs to be ready to play day ONE. We still don't have a 3, or 4 that can drive the ball off the dribble. It's been a problem for a while now. Flanigan could drive quite well, but was terrible at finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,209 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 minutes ago, Tiger said: Denver not a PG I'd rather live and die with Aden running 2nd unit point. I just don't feel like Denver is any sort of threat as a lead ball handler. He's not gonna finish at the rack, he's not gonna break someone down and get a good look for himself or someone else, and his handles are subpar for a lead guard All that is definitely true, but they needed the KD and Denver backcourt for defensive purposes (especially once it was clear Tre was going to be a non-factor on both ends). They're not even in this game without the defense Denver played today, and I think he made more 3s than the rest of the team combined lol (not saying a ton but).

AUDynasty 635 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It really boils down to the fact that we never led this even once at all. It can be a massive mental block if you never had a lead in this game at all. It’s really different when you had a lead at least once because it could be an influence where you know you’re able to take a lead on them. Even in the road Alabama game — we never took a lead in the second half so we had some moments where we were really close but never got over the hump. This was another example of it. These boys will be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old fan 47 825 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 10 minutes ago, SCTiger2011 said: Basketball is such a crap shoot, over 300 D-1 teams compared to NCAAF where the power 5 dynamic features about 60 teams whereby only 20-30 can truly win a championship. I disagree with you on the "slipping away from a potential championship." I think it's obvious this team's ceiling probably isn't championship, but Auburn basketball is becoming a perennial top 4 SEC team; you have to have that reputation to keep the recruiting cycles going to hope to catch lightning in a bottle. One great point guard or two good shooters away from making another 2019 run in either 2025-2026. I still think this team ends up in the Sweet 16 though. Would love to see a run like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillMunny 1,644 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 6 minutes ago, Old fan 47 said: Exactly, the NBA seems to give four steps versus the allowed 2. Sports at the college and pro levels is no longer as fun to watch. I grew up watching the NFL in the 70’s. Tom Brady would have lasted maybe 4 seasons in that era. I’ve been following AU football since the late 70’s as well, but I honestly find myself much less entertained by college ball anymore, after all of the changes. If the rules-based traveling rules had been enforced correctly by the NBA, the ESPN series "The Last Dance" would have been totally focused on Marilyn Monroe.

Maybe, or at least the ones who aren't afraid to go down the lane or create points. Jared Harper was the best at that. If we needed a bucket he was getting it or getting the foul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
