SJ? I guess everyone has an opinion, but I think it's overhyping him

He averaged 17 minutes per game this year and we upgraded our wing talent in the off-season. I believe SJ will improve too having a year in Pope's system, but I think it's way overhyping to call him a starter at this point.

Lay off the cult. They see a lot of Spencer in themselves from when they were 22

It wasn't that people supported Harding necessarily. It's that the SJ love was

That certainly could've been the case. For whatever reason I felt oddly attacked

Harding had his own small cult following on CB...

Maybe, I didn't see that (Harding cult following), but perhaps.

I think the counter-attack on SJ's groupies you described

If he can sharply cut his high turnover rate, Johnson can continue to contribute in the rotation. Going into the season

I don't know if it's fair to compare the TO rates of Johnson vs. Knell.

10/11/21 6:12am

Agree with everything except...

icecougar

10/11/21 2:05pm

Then he should have had a higher assist rate as did Averrete and Barcello. Knell assist rate was higher than SJ.

10/11/21 3:50pm

For what it’s worth, I think he’s one of our 5 best players

zerome4sooners

Guys stop the hype train. It doesn't help him to raise unrealistic expectations

runnincoug

10/11/21 7:42am

Agree and would say the same about Knell - if he is in our top 6

OC Coug

10/11/21 8:56am

See, I think same about George. CB loves him but on the court he doesn’t do much

Huh? So I can’t think he’s one of our 5 best players? Sorry, I do.

I'm a fan of anyone who can play defense, especially if you can play offense.

As a friend of Spencer’s, what’s you trying to accomplish by coming on CB to gas
