Announcers Optimistic About Us

[Pirate64]

All night long Brando and Donnie Marshall sang the praises of Willard, IW, Delgado et al.

They like our resume , our chances to dance and how we are maturing. But that we have to keep winning

Brando said in talking to pro scouts IW is being mentioned .Also said Delgado made a pro move and that he''ll be there ( NBA) some day.

Hmm. Is this the beginning , especially in Whitehead's case of possibly being two and done?

The first 10 minutes were unwatchable tonight. Kevin should have come down on them after 3 minutes. We looked like crap but all's well that ends well.

Meaningless positivity from two guys who are not gonna shit on teams from the main league that their network has backed with a lot of cash. Not saying we aren't a bubble team bc we are atm, but their opinion is useless. And I actually like both of them and think they do a good job!

I love IW, I really do. But I don't think he's ready for the pros yet. He needs at least another year at the Point Guard position before he makes the jump. He also needs to work on his shot to be considered a viable NBA PG. He'll make it eventually.

 

[Piratz]

None of them are even close to being ready. They have strong attributes and raw talent, but need a lot of seasoning and maturity.

We should be excited about the team. They've got talent, they've gotten better as the season has gone along, they've registered some very good wins, and there is a realistic hope for an NCAA run.

The et al was what's his name's mentor Ricky P. Sickening sucking up to someone who is not a good person.

BTW - one good game every now and again does not make early entry into the NBA, maybe overseas, but not the NBA. Hopefully, IW is smart enough to realize that.

For Angel to have even a remote chance of playing in the NBA he must move to the PF position. And frankly he's not ready offensively and especially defensively to make that move yet.

Dan, I am curious to see the coaching staff develop Angel's skills because imho this is the first Big they have recruited that has a chance to play in the NBA.

Willard focused a lot in his presser on Angel. Unfortunately those comments are going to be posted on the Trove for our subscribers.

This, basically. Watching Fox's coverage of our league, it's clear that the network's relationship with the league has colored their analysis of its games. It's not a Fox issue; this is how it is done nowadays. ESPN is like a parody of itself in this regard, so Fox is just following that lead. I don't have to like it to see it.

 

[Shuathelete]

LOL they work for FOX. Like bobbysolo said, its just useless to listen to their opinion. Delgado leaving for the NBA sooner than later? laughable. I laughed at that.

I wouldnt change anything about it tho. Need that kind of bias. However the best opinions on our team probably come from this board.
