Painter is a great coach, he is giving upperclassmen their chance. He will see Edey is better than Williams, Morton is better than Thompson, and anybody is better than Wheeler.

Morton better than Thompson?Painter is a great coach, he is giving upperclassmen their chance. He will see Edey is better than Williams, Morton is better than Thompson, and anybody is better than Wheeler.
He should be great against bigger centers after battling Edey in practice every day.Williams will be fine. It memory serves- he’s usually better when he’s playing against a big center, not a smaller/quicker center.
Much better!Morton better than Thompson?
Thompson has been much better than Morton so far. Morton hasn’t scored a point. A lot of that could be the mono, but it’s really not close to this point.Much better!

Thompson had 15 points on 6/10 shooting. Morton had 0 points on 0/2 shooting.Hmm. By this statement I would assume you haven’t watched the games. Morton had 5 assists last night while Isaiah had a very subpar performance. If you did watch last night’s game and somehow didn’t notice how rough of a game Thompson had- I’d assume you might have some bias.
It’s not all about points... and even if it was, it’s not like Thompson scored 20
Thompson had 15 points on 6/10 shooting. Morton had 0 points on 0/2 shooting.
Both players struggled with turnovers combing for 8.
You really don't know what you're talking about because we haven't seen a healthy Morton. There's a reason why Morton was brought in to break the press, which IT couldn't do. IT is small and not strong enough to be effective against physical teams.Thompson has been much better than Morton so far. Morton hasn’t scored a point.

What tournament?I am not worried long term but I could easily see the team missing the tournament this year which would suck.
If your talking after two games and Morton trying to play through mono you're right.But there is no way IT is better than Morton!Thompson has been much better than Morton so far. Morton hasn’t scored a point. A lot of that could be the mono, but it’s really not close to this point.

I never said I had seen a healthy Morton or that the reason Morton hasn’t. Played well was for anything other than his health. I stated he hadn’t played as well as Thompson had to this point. 5 turnovers is bad. 3 turnovers is also bad. Thompson has at least contributed to the scoring column. We will have to agree to disagree on this, but I’m sticking with Thompson if I’m CMP. I have a feeling CMP will agree and we will see Thompson in the starting lineup yet again on Tuesday.You really should stop posting...
We got the scored tied with Morton in the game then he went out and we're down 10. could be coincidence but hes a pg, not known for alot of scoring but running a team. i dont hate IT but the team worked better when a winded morton ran the point.

I never claimed Thompson was a PG or that Morton was not.Morton is a point guard. Thompson is not. Period.
But he can guard the 1 spot. Quick feet. Will be a nice bench option for the next 3 years.An undersized 2 and a plenty of size 1
Yes as a point guard, Isaiah was put in bad spot with Eric and Ivey out.

I suspect you know what he means. He’s physically underdeveloped. He’s a good shooter with decent handles who was overwhelmed as a ball handler by an opponent who was as quick as him but was much stronger and more physical. Frankly he didn’t react well.He was put in a bad spot by being given an opportunity to play?
At a high level your point around fans clamoring for new players is correct. In this case IT was pretty bad as the primary ball handler. Hopefully we’ll be back at the point soon where he’s not needed in that role.It’s always the case... the new guy is better than the older guy. Why? Because we have seen the w eaknesses of the older player who has been through the grinding BIG season. He has faced the best coached and possibly some of the most talented teams in the country. The old guy has been well scouted and many top coaches have run different sets at the player. He has played his guts out for his/our team. The new guy is all shiny and new, with no bad fan experiences. No weaknesses shown... yet. Sure, he looks better after the first game, of course. Let’s wait a bit before anointing a new king, and disrespecting the kid that played so hard for us.
