Mello Trimble: Can you say Over rated??

So you would agree that Uthoff is also overrated based on last night?
No, although he looked that way. Uthoff can do a combination of things not too many players can do. Trimble? He's a semi fast shoot first PG who is overrated. There's nothing he can do that makes him special.

I don't think he's a shoot first PG. He's the guy most likely to take a shot when Maryland needs points, but Trimble is a fantastic distributor, especially off the drive. He's easily the most court-aware PG in the Big Ten. It seems like he always knows where everybody is on the court.

He's a top 15 maybe top 10 talent. This board is going full retard. Expect nothing less after a loss.
No need to be an overreacting Ahole. He's a good PG but IMO he's not an elite player. So what? Uthoff is a long, skilled player who excels at everything (shooting, defense, blocking shots) even though he didn't show it the other night.

Uthoff reminds me a bit of Keith Van Horn who was a fantastic college player and a pretty decent pro.

Not sure where Uthoff will play at next level. Small forward most likely. Not sure he will be good enough defensively to play much in NBA.

Lots of elite players play marginal defense in the NBA. Kyrie Irving, James Harden, etc. If you fill a niche, that's all you need. Van horn isn't a bad comparison although I thought he was slow, esp. after he bulked up later on.
 
Trimble is probably going to be a unanimous first-team all B1G player. He is as good at running the pick and roll as anyone I have seen in college BB this year. That will translate very well to the NBA. Sapp and Mike did a damn good job of keeping Melo from going off. No reason to knock opposing players, unless they are act like jerks.
 
Is anyone questioning whether OP (RockEyeState) is actually an Iowa fan? I am.
 
Melo Trimble is not overrated. Our defense minimized his effect, just like theirs did to Uthoff. It's what good teams do.
 
He is not overrated. I think he is the real deal. He is, however, a soph. Some inconsistency is to be expected.
 
Melo Trimble is not remotely overrated. He is a fabulous point guard that will be a top draft choice when he chooses to leave. You can't judge by one game, if you do, then Uthoff is overrated as well.
 
Hey guys Trimble is human. He had a great game Saturday vs MSU and against Iowa he did what he had to do to win the game. That is what a great player does, if its not their night, they become a "decoy" and allow their teammates to get going and win the game.

Players will have off nights and Trimble & Utoff both had one on Thursday. They both will be next level players at their respective positions.

Um....not truth. Watch more MD - Trimble is pretty impressive.
 
there are a lot of Trimble's in the NBA...Uthoff skills for a 6'9" NBA wing are unique...and it starts with him being able to hit long 3's.

Don't claim to be NBA expert, but Uthoff has range several feet beyond the 3pt line...as long as he can deal with the physical play, I'm guessing he will be playing in NBA. I think he has a chance to be NBA starter, because he can also block shots and is decent athlete. Most Iowa guys have been bench warmers, role players, fringe guys at NBA level.

Trimble--I've seen him get hot from deep and stroke the 3ball. I don't think the college game fits his strengths which is chuck deep balls and quick shooting. Trimble obviously still a very good college player.

Reread my posts. I don't think he's a bad player but maybe I've read too many raves about him. I just don't see him as a special player. In college or at the next level. Like hawk i bob said, there are lots of PG's like him in the NBA. Uthoff is a 6'9" F who can stroke it from deep and can block shots and has good to great athleticism. There are not a lot of players like him anywhere. IMO he is a special player. Trimble is not, IMO. Again, I don't think he's a bad player. He just doesn't seem to stick out too much to me.
 
I have for awhile now. Just like I questioned that 100yearscounting guy. He seemed to be a reverse troll.
What the hell is a "reverse troll"? Are you sure you're not going full retard yourself?

Why can't people just have differing opinions and discuss why they agree or disagree? It always turns into some BS pissing match where a few arrogant know it alls have to denigrate other's opinions simply because they're different. Grow the hell up.

My comments on Trimble have zero to do with Utoff. I agree with your comments on Utoff....but I do think Trimble is significantly better than you give him credit for.
 
Opinions........... dime a dozen. Watch Mello play, he's got something that most don't. If you can't see it stop watching the game. He and J. Utoff had off games. Happens every now and then but to dismiss eithers ability to take over a game?
 
Wow. Does anyone watch basketball played by other teams than the Hawks? He is an excellent player and one of the best point guards in the country. Hands down.

Trimble could not carry Tyler Ullis gym bag. I get to have an opinion, too.
LOL
 
And, I'll throw this little gem in for the Trimble disciples, here.

Mike Gesell had 12 points on Trimble's home court. Trimble 11.

I've seen better guards at the Rec center, than your boy, Mello.

You realize that Mike got six of those down the stretch against a matador defense in the last 20 seconds of the game. Trimble is a real talent. Mike and, especially Sapp, are excellent defenders. They pretty much neutralized each other, but I would take Melo in a Hawkeye jersey any day of the week.

If you can't handle differing opinions than yours, maybe you should stop posting or reading posts that you disagree with. Problem solved. "Stop watching the game". Dolt.
 
Trimble is easily the best PG in the B1G and one of the 3-4 best in the country. He is an elite talent. If you have watched Maryland at all the last two years and have been a basic understanding of basketball, it's pretty obvious.
 
rockeye knows zero about basketball. Better guards at the rec center?? Laughable. Trimble is the real deal at this level and the next. Ironfist in the same league as rockeye. Maryland is nothing without Trimble running the show, just a bunch of athletes. He makes them players who win.
