re: Mizzou basketball fans

Yea I agree it does look bad but at the end of the day those are our seats that we pay for. If we don't want to be at the second half of a 42-0 game than so be it. I get the complaints from our fans about it but oh well.

They do. We got yelled at

In college, he had no concept of game management. That is by far his biggest weakness. Maybe Stevens can coach that part up for Phil.

Great ball handler, nice shot off the kick out (not great shooting off the dribble), but he sees passes 90% of the NBA won't see coming.

The problem is that he is so short and the NBA is so tall that i'd guess teams will just refuse to cover him on the perimeter and not even guard him when he drives to take away all passing options. he won't be able to finish over NBA forwards.

He does have elite hops, though. The kid can throw down with authority.

Phil is crafty at dispersing the ball for assists in the lane. He's good at penetrating the lane also. This kid can flat out sprint the court with the ball. He is great in the transition aspect of the game.His weakness is getting trapped and pressure seems to unravel him at times. Teams were good at half court traps on him last year causing him to commit errant passes. He also had a bad habit of trying to throw up too many three balls from crazy distances and usually around the time his team goes on a 10-0 run on a team.

So does every player that couldn't win a national championship for Mizzou suck? I was as frustrated with Pressey as any. Heck, I even called for him to come out of games in the last 2 minutes. I thought he'd do a great job of keeping us in games/getting leads for us but he oftentimes tried to do too much with the game on the line.

Bowers was good and Oriakhi became a STUD last year.

Pressey wasn't good last year. No matter what the stats show, losing games for your team is unacceptable from the PG spot. That is your floor general. If only we had Dixon so Haith could bench Pressey at the end of games like he did in 2011-2012 season.

I can't say he hurt us more than helped us. I'd say the times he hurt us was at a time during those games where the game was on the line. Basically he picked bad times to turn the ball over or start shooting giant rainbow three pointers fron almost half court. He fancied himself a three point shooter but lacked the consistancy. He also, which isn't always a bad thing, wanted to be "the guy" or "the difference maker" at inopportune times. That to me was Pressey. He was fun to watch when he was on or agonising to watch when he tried to do too much at the wrong times.

Boston got hammered tonight and Pressey saw 21 minutes of action. 5 points, 5 assists, 1 turnover. 0-3 including 0-2 from 3 point land. 5-7 from the charity stripe. On the positive side in 9 games Flip has been a plus player, on the negative, 26.3% from the field and 20% for 3 pointers. It is a positive that he only took 3 shots tonight.

.. I didn't even realize Pressey left for the NBA.. I still think he should've stayed but maybe Mizzou is better off.


Semo, did you get tickets to the Feb Game?

Nah. Phil is better off in the NBA and we're better off with Clark and Clarkson.
