The root of Corbin's troubles was that he really, really wanted to dunk.

Every. Single. Time. He relies on his athleticism, and he also wants to put it on display. He'll learn to let those opportunities present themselves, and to turn and do the routine damage in the meantime. Patience. He's going to be terrific.

Ugh, our bigs are so bad.

Grit for Brains

Although true, Luke Worthington has improved immensely.

cougfanblue

11/20/14 10:07am

And is still pretty bad

Says an anonymous poster on an internet board....

Played JUCO, Snow, never coached though, and i kill it in church ball.

Ebolarama

11/20/14 11:33am

And there you have it....

KGKUGR

11/20/14 2:35pm

Can you really tell he's improved by beating up on some HS level bigs?

Ebolarama

11/21/14 9:45am

Yes, because he sucked against those teams last year.

PGVikingDad

11/21/14 10:52am

I'll reserve judgement until he plays someone functional

Ebolarama

11/21/14 10:54am

That is a terrible argument

concolor couguar

11/20/14 11:39am

Let's see....Jerry West (arguably the best), Larry Bird, Danny Ainge...

KGKUGR

11/20/14 2:30pm

Well said! & no coincidence that most sports analysts today are former players

sundance

11/20/14 4:42pm

So Larry bird and jerry west qualify as great players on that list

concolor couguar

11/20/14 5:14pm

I submit...

KGKUGR

11/21/14 8:49am

Perhaps Thomas, Jordan, Unseld, and Baylor all did and flopped big time as GM's

concolor couguar

11/21/14 9:58am

Are you freaking kidding? You just described the MO of everyone who frequents

sundance

11/20/14 1:49pm

Yep.....

KGKUGR

11/20/14 2:32pm

but where is the fun in that.... this place is for bull crap and speculation....

sundance

11/20/14 4:35pm

Reserved judgment...

KGKUGR

11/21/14 8:39am

I'll be surprised if he scores a FG in either of those games but if he can stay

Luke played really, really well last night. And not just compared to the "old"

PGVikingDad

11/20/14 11:34am

Not to be a butt, but it was SVU. A good HS team.

Ebolarama

11/20/14 11:37am

Be 100% honest: You didn't watch the game, right?

PGVikingDad

11/20/14 11:48am

I did actually, I missed the first 10 min of the second half but I saw most of

Ebolarama

11/20/14 11:49am

Worthington Has Improved, But Luke Has Not Faced Elite Big Men Yet...

Coug76

11/20/14 1:38pm

Good thoughts....

KGKUGR

11/22/14 7:11am

Kind of crazy that as a sophomore Josh Sharp was getting 18 minutes a game

concolor couguar

11/20/14 10:08am

On offense, yes. On defense, they are just fine.

Gentleman Stan

11/20/14 10:15am

They aren't that bad, good big men are few and far between

CSoul

11/20/14 10:17am

Bad on offense. We'll do ok defending the post this season though.

Walter Bellhaven

11/20/14 10:22am

It's the opposite order of their ceilings, sadly

CoopDizz

11/20/14 10:06am

If he could just learn to gather himself. He gives up almost all his leverage.

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 10:07am

Maybe that's why nobody has been gaining weight all this time. It won't

southernfriedcougar

11/20/14 10:10am

Sadly, true. Very pleased with Luke & Austin, but I'm afraid the Zags

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 10:20am

I'm afraid Sabonis is going to have a 20 and 15 game off the bench.

southernfriedcougar

11/20/14 10:22am

Why be afraid of the inevitable?

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 10:24am

I think Luke matches up well with Karnowski

concolor couguar

11/20/14 10:25am

If he were a couple inches taller I'd be more confident in that matchup

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 10:27am

I don't think so. Karnowski hardly moves to score. He catches and does his

southernfriedcougar

11/20/14 10:31am

Luke battles well before the ball gets there to keep guys from getting a deep

concolor couguar

11/20/14 11:32am

He's not a dude who goes off, that's for sure. And I don't think he'll score

southernfriedcougar

11/20/14 12:01pm

All schools exaggerate on measurements I doubt Gonzaga is an exception

concolor couguar

11/20/14 1:52pm

Oh geez, so because one player is exaggerated by 2 inches, that means

southernfriedcougar

11/20/14 2:21pm

Oh come on nearly everyone does it.

The root of Corbin's troubles was that he really, really wanted to dunk.

PGVikingDad

11/20/14 11:56am

He looks like he's 2 years away from being good, but if he does ever put it
