alone he should be starting every game and be named a team captain. We need his mentality, his toughness, his fire, his intelligence... and we need it to be contagious.

Belmont was supposed to be pretty good competition.

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

Gerald-DeGroot

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

you mean teams with more black guys?

He seemed to hold his own in all the national tourneys in high school

So far he is as good as advertised. Like Gerald said he needs

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

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?

Epileptic Beagle

11/30/15 2:55pm

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

Okay here are two quick examples with substance from the most recent game

He isn't a liability because he is one of our best defenders.

11/30/15 3:04pm

I like his high effort and it does show. Hate to compare to Jimmer, but this

MajorZeus

11/30/15 3:15pm

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

I've noticed this about Nick

FatherOFive

11/30/15 3:21pm

One word....Jackson

FatherOFive

11/30/15 3:20pm

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

blackandblue

11/30/15 2:57pm

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

FatherOFive

11/30/15 3:22pm

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

The fact he's scoring this much this early is scary

Emery is the best freshman player in recent memory for me. It is the all around

oryguncoug

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

Jimmer was good as a freshman. The problem was is he had a senior in front of

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

BlooGeek

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

Yeah, not trying to minimize KC value, but his glaring weakness is bringing the

His glaring weakness is definitely his outside jump shot

How you can watch KC play and say he's not a good .pg, and even use his

Lebron and Garnett are 2 of the top active career assist men...are they PGs?

BlooGeek

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

Epileptic Beagle

12/1/15 10:59am

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

Agreed. KC is clearly not a conventional PG, but it is just as clear that he is

true that! Emery is the real deal and living up to the hype.
