MO, you are a bit too negative, IMO.
This team has its positives and negatives.
First off, I mostly agree with your assessment of Pressey. He can literally dominate the game, but shoots himself and his team in the foot in nearly every close game. He needs to play solid basketball at the end. That's what winners do.
Your post on Jabari Brown is libelous. Not sure where you are going with that. I've enjoyed watching him play. He has made some mistakes, but overall I think he is a good player that makes Mizzou better.
Webster Chan is just a freshman that looks like he is too afraid to make mistakes and thus is not a difference maker. Perhaps Phil and WC could learn something from each other. He's just a freshman though, so it's difficult to tell what type of player he will be in a year or two.
I love the talent of the team, but think that a lack of real leadership could be their downfall. Everyone is thinking conference will be easy. It will be entertaining, but not easy in the slightest.

Order up another jumbo mogray, this teams good. I'm just as pissed about the loss as anyone, or more so, but no need to attack all the kids so harshly.
Flip has shown he has the skill sets. Now he needs to show he's become a leader and that means taking better care of the ball with the lead late in a game. No need for the flash at that point.
Oriakhi is a beast on the boards and solid defensively. Yes, he needs to stop showing up the refs. I think his past showing up refs is what led to his technical, not so much what he actually did by setting the ball down.
Brown is a player. Remember, he's only played less than a half dozen games of competitive ball in over 2 years. At times, the game speeds by him, but of the youngsters he certainly handles it better than the others.
NWC is being asked to do things that he shouldn't/isn't capable of doing and I think that's affecting the rest of his game.
I think we'll still lose 3 or 4 more games this year. But that doesn't make them a bad team. Just get 'em ready for tourney time.
