Pistol Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 1. How has a discussion of four-year stiffs gone on this long without a mention of Justin Johnson? Career stats: Johnson - 11.3 MPG, 2.3 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 0.3 APG, 0.2 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 0.5 TPG, 1.3 FPG, .408/.000/.667. Manning - 10.0 MPG, 1.9 PPG, 1.3 RPG, 0.3 APG, 0.2 SPG, 0.7 BPG, 0.5 TPG, 1.4 FPG, .467/.200/.581. Husak - 11.5 MPG, 3.0 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 0.3 APG, 0.1 SPG, 0.7 BPG, 0.8 TPG, 1.4 FPG, .486/.400/.514. Sports Reference has an "Advanced" section and Manning actually looks better than Johnson in that section (Husak is the best of the three). The normal stats are pretty close between the two. Johnson also had a redshirt year and Manning did not. 2. I really look forward to Ingvi's game tomorrow so this thread can get back on track.

thetorch Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Husak had a better career than Manning. Manning played but was never healthy after his freshman year. I give the nod to Husa because he could shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but it's still not God's initials. I don't use or condone the phrase, but I've come to understand, over the years, that that's not what God means by the Third Commandment. The term god is generic and can be applied to various things; God was prohibiting falsely declaring His character or actual name or swearing by it without sincerity or for purposes against His will. The way those who use the phrase in question use it is synonymous to many common expressions of surprise, like "good grief," "gee whiz," "golly," or "egad." If that were what God meant, we'd all be bound for hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 After a 29-5 first quarter, Germany is up 44-25 on Iceland at halftime. Ingvi has 6 points on 2/10 shooting, 2/8 from the 3-point line. He also has 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 fouls, and 2 turnovers. He's playing a lot more today; 15:37 of court time so far. I just turned it on so I haven't seen any of the game yet. Players are just coming back out onto the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ingvi is now 3/14 from the field, 2/9 from 3 and 1/5 from 2. He had a nice make off a give-and-go a few minutes ago, but then was blocked going to the basket two possessions in a row. Defensively, he didn't close out and his man buried a 3, and then a minute later he got a hand in his face and the dude still buried another. Germany has a much bigger, better team. 53-33 now.

Billikid Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Today, Iceland looks to be anywhere behind the 3 point line. Only 2/10 for IG from deep. I will give him credit though in that it looks like if the Iceland offense doesn't run through him it's pretty much doomed for the possession. He leads his team with 6 of Ice's 14 assists, which also means he's not exactly getting great passes leading to his shots and many are contested. He did have a cool behind the back assist in the lane on a fast break for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Okay, on to Ukraine tomorrow. Perhaps a better match-up for the Icelanders? Ukraine lost a 'buzzer beater' today versus Turkey, 104-46. (Oops, that buzzer was for the tip off.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 77-63 Germany is the final score. Iceland played hard in the fourth quarter and Germany let off the gas a bit, made some poor decisions. #14 for Iceland got hot, too, and finished 5/9 from the perimeter (the team was 9/41 from deep). Ingvi ended up with 31 minutes, 8 points on 3/16 shooting (1/5 from 2 and 2/11 from 3), 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 turnovers, 1 steal, and 3 fouls. He's the only guy on the floor for Iceland who looks the part, like someone with some actual higher-level ability. Today was clearly not his day shooting - good looking shots weren't falling, and he took some rushed, deep, or contested shots in the second half - but when he focused more on facilitating down the stretch, Iceland started clicking. He's a nice passer. He'd easily have had double-digit assists if his teammates were better finishers. A couple of his turnovers were from forcing it out of frustration, and a couple were bad luck. It's hard to tell exactly how he'll translate, going from the best player on a bad U-20 national team to a young role player on a good college team. But the skill set and potential appear to be in place and getting over to SLU and working out with the team and getting more individual coaching should be good for him. I've been a big fan of his brother at Davidson, and he looks like he's about 2 inches taller, but otherwise has a similar all-around game. He looks like a bigger, more raw version of Jon Axel. I don't expect as much out of Ingvi early on - his brother has started all but 2 games for Davidson in his first 2 seasons - but if he ends up being anywhere near that good, I'd be very happy.
