re: Welcome home Jalen Courtney-Williams. Hired as new basketball assistant

No. It's not. He won us games this year.

He also single handedly won us the Arkansas game last year.

Statistically speaking his stats in conference were extremely similar despite him playing out of position his first year here. Eye test wise he didn’t get much better at anything. Like I said he’s been a solid player. I think it’s pretty impressive to put up similar statistics despite playing out of position for almost an entire season. I will again reiterate he went in a game at PF because of his rebounding.

Also take note of the mid-season development of Mike Williams

What it mid season development or was it Mike finally playing his proper position? He was a SG in high school.

I said he should play SG and have Hannibal play PG and was called retarded for it. Then they play those positions and it leads to some of our best basketball all year. Go figure.

as well as the leap Ward and Reed made. But yet.....who didn't he develop?

Leap is a bit of a stretch


What “leap” did Reed make in his game? What about Ward?

Ward has always been a solid player but it’s hard to show it when you sit the bench and hardly play. Did Ward magically get better or was it that when he finally got a significant amount of playing time and touches that he got to show what he could do? I do think he improved but to say he took a leap is laughable.

As far as Reed, I do think he got a little better but he did not take a leap. He still has the same glaring issues in his game from last year. The mental game, motor, rebounding, and defensive ability are all questionable. I do think Baker played a part in this and we will have to see where we go in year 3 for both of those guys.


Also I think it’s funny you mention Adam Miller. My first post on TD was shitting on that guy. I’ve always thought he fricking sucks and I hated all the Wade crybabies acting like he was Kobe Bryant because Wade said he was doing good in practice and blaming McMahon for him playing poorly. The guy is just not that good.
