LOL! It’s not something ANY of our current guards can do! I put Joe W as probably at a freshman the most proficient at doing what you described.

Right I totally agree, that is why I’m happy that Fran is potentially looking for an upgrade. Wieskamp is that only guy. Everyone is likely going to have high expectations for this team next year but I don’t believe those high-level goals can be met with the current SG on the team.
I’m not sure if your LOL was meant in agreement but we are basically saying the same thing.
I would like to believe they have that person currently on the team with Cook but that would require a change in his mindset and approach.
I don’t see Patrick redshirting. He needs strength, but I don’t expect him to add a ton of muscle or weight due to his thyroid. I doubt if he had another last name that there would be so many calls for a top 75 player to sit out a year.
He picks up some of Baer’s minutes IMO and his production will ultimately determine his role.

Yeah, I don’t think he’s going to redshirt and my hope is like you said he can fill the Baer role for 5-10 minutes a game. The good thing is next year he won’t need to be relied on for big minutes and production and he can adjust to the speed/strength of the college game.
Moss was one of the very few players this year who could take a few dribbles, separate from the defender, and spot up on someone for a mid range jumper. If you mean take it all the way to the rim then I agree.
Take a FEW dribbles is spot on. Any more than a few and the handle becomes very loose. Occasionally can create his own shot but rarely creates for his teammates.
This is exactly right. Too much ball handling by Moss was not a good thing. His handles and finishing IN GENERAL is very poor for a starting Big Ten SG. To add to it, the occasionally creating his own shot was much too occasional and like you said, his court awareness with the ball is usually not great.
I’m all for jumping on the Moss bandwagon - because he has shown brief flashes of being a quality player - if he can iron out quite a few things and become way more consistent but if he hasn’t done it in 4 years, I’m hard pressed to believe it will magically happen in the5th year. I don’t know if Fran can find someone better for next year but I’m hopeful this is a sign that he is trying. Because without an upgrade, I’m not sure if they will be able to get to where every one wants them to be next year. Bohannon needs some help in the backcourt to have a special season.
Dailey is a senior next year. How much time does he need? Moss is a good player 30% of the time, a great player about 10% of the time and a non-factor about 60% of the time. Fran needs more consistency out of a 2 than Moss can provide. He isn't good enough in other facets of the game to merit so much PT when he isn't scoring IMO. I don't see his game dramatically improving in year 5 in the program given his handles remain highly suspect.
Still waiting on the citation for which posts called out the players from you or one of the 30 people who liked your post
Wow, good job getting a lot of internet points! Let us know what nifty prize you receive when you redeems those suckers.
What I've seen of Patrick, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Joe Wieskamp and Patrick will man the small forward position for the next 3 years. Those 2 could be a very dynamic twosome at that position.
With Garza, Nunge, Kriener, Pemsl, and Cook manning the other front line positions, and
with Bohannan, Fredrick, Moss, Connor, & Toussaint, returning I can't wait until next season starts.
