just about all Fr have trouble w/ D, should never be that big of an excuse for no PT esp in 15 to 20 point wins
Nope . Don’t remember. But they did say they needed to play D( Cam did and played more). Colvin needed to do more on D , he is now. Colvin needed to be more than just a shot hunter. Now he is part of the offense, three assists tonight. Great job Matt.
Both an inaccurate and simplistic recollection
Recently I think it was O holding Myles back. I too think Matt brought them along just fine even though there were some very concerned that he needed more playing time in games. Matt expected them to meet Matt’s expectations rather than Matt lowering them.
Yep. Also remember people saying the only way Colvin would get better was by playing. Well, he didn’t play much and got better so…..
I thought Heide played well today. Colvin...one missed dunk led to an opposing dunk and two easy points. I simply don't understand why some think he's so valuable and so good when he's playing. Can you give me an example of Colvin's "skills". He might have had an assist or two, but no points, no rebounds, no steals. So happy for the win, and sending them on.

You know, we all hope that he plays better next season. And we all hope he learns that defense wins games. He's far from being a star and his stats indicate that. Nice story.

Good shooter, high-level athlete, offers an athletic presence on the glass + at the rim from the wing/guard position.
Nice article Casey.

Almost nothing in that post is based on fact, starting with the first sentence which is blatantly false.
I don’t think anyone outside of maybe Twinnie doubts his ability. He oozes potential. But potential is just potential until its production.
Geezus if you're going to post this crap again, at least get the facts correct. Myles had 3 Rebounds and 3 assists last night. Do you even watch the games?
I think a lot of folks forget about what happens in practice and what Painter sees there. We only see about one tenth of what the coaches and other players see.
It’s such a strange take. Getting playing time can get you acclimated to game speed and shake off the nerves but every coach in America will tell you that most improvement happens at practice.
If you think Colvin's defense now is same as it was in Jan/Feb I don't know what to say. His defensive awareness has increased greatly and he is facilitating on offense in ways he would not have in Jan. It looks to me Matt has managed him perfectly to get him ready to contribute in the Big Dance. And how do u know Morton has not been helping Cam and Colvin?
I hope he continues to improve this season. The time is now and the team needs everyone to get hot and have good games.
probably less than 1/10 actually. In some things it probably doesn't matter and in some it would or does
You crack me up.
When both were in with TKR, Furst and Braden I said to my wife - There's next years starting five.
I love his "I simply don't understand why some think he's so valuable".. well coach put him into the game, what, 7 minutes in? Sounds like he thinks MC is pretty valuable.
our coach is one of the best in the business and knows the game about 100x what you do (or me).
you need to ask yourself why you do not understand and that is not meant to denigrate your thoughts. You don't see the drills, you don't see the dry runs of sets, you don't see the scrimmage you and the rest of us do not see the things that go on in practice. Why would we know why he does such and such?
