Belmont was supposed to be pretty good competition.

Meh. I want see how he does against good athletic teams.

Belmont is a far better team than people give them credit for.

I agree, but Belmont is no slouch, IMO

True. One crazy thing about Emery's impact is that you can tell

The team needed to figure out who they could lean on, and I think

At this point TNT prefers Emery to Chase. If Chase isn't hitting his 3s

Emery is the only player with the ability & desire to play defense... for that

I was impressed with Seljaas at the Valley State game.

Seljaas is another player I like to watch.

This is true. He isn't very athletic, but he moves well enough to

Time will tell but is he a defensive liability?

MajorZeus

11/30/15 2:47pm

Are you serious? He's one of our best defenders...

Epileptic Beagle

11/30/15 2:47pm

I'm serious because he's only played in 4 games. If no liability, why not?

MajorZeus

11/30/15 2:53pm

Have you watched any games this year?

Take the example of thebruce and provide substance not just a snarky response

He actually reminds me of a frosh Jackson Emery on D.

One word....Jackson

He dominated the high school ranks, and doesn't show any signs of taking a step

He dominated the HS ranks....on a NATIONAL level

Emery could be Jimmer, but we won't need him to be.

He's more impressive as a frosh than even Jimmer was.

So why isn't Rose starting him at PG? Is this a senior loyalty thing to KC? Rose

That senior just logged 10 assists. Not just senior loyalty. KC is still most

Do you think KC would be anywhere near as effective playing off the ball?

I do. He can still be core of offense, but let him move without the ball. A good
