brianstl Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 The turnover situation was great yesterday, but I think Butler deserves a lot of the credit there. Butler or FSU will be the best defensive team we play this season and Butler ranks 13th in the country in opponents assist to turnover ratio. They force a lot of turnovers and try to make you play an isolation game offensively. We did what we had to do to beat them offensively. We shot 53.5% from the 2, shot 33.3% from 3, and got to the line for 30 free throw attempts that resulted in 19 points. Overall a pretty good game offensively and even better considering the level of defense we were up against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is the same ankle or not (guessing it was). It didn't appear to be an ankle injury, looked like his right knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains to be seen if his 5'9" height will hold those attributes at the A10 level and be able to guard someone. He is not really a good shooter. My point is i am not holding my breath on yuri collins being the guard to make us remember h waldman. I believe goodwin is probably closer to being the answer but he isnt there yet.

Be patient with him he will need some time to adjust. Remember the SEMO frosh pg? That was his team & he continues to excel based on blurbs that appear in the PD. C'mon Yuri!

Why Travis should put him there full time. Drives me nuts to see him off in the corner just waiting around to get in the mix for a rebound or loose ball. Isabell has never been a PG and he ain't gonna be one in the NBA. Put him at the 2 where he's always been and let's see what he does there. Let Jacobs back up JGood.

HoosierPal Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 BTW, even though it was not a sellout, the 9,572 was our 18th largest crowd at Chaifetz. It's the first time we've cracked the Top 20 crowd list in the Ford era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwin isn’t close to being the ball handler that Collins is. Travis considers him to be one of the top high school point guards in the country. Collins will make everyone better, he’s not just a good passer, but an elite one. I would be shocked if he isn’t better defensively than Isabel.

BillIkenFan_Dan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I was listening to Dan McLaughlin a couple weeks ago, and he said the main reason Isabell came here was because Ford told him if he wanted to play in the nba he had to play Pg, and that’s what he promised him he would play at Slu. So I don’t know what you can do, put him at sg where he belongs and maybe he doesn’t play like a team player because he got moved and won’t play in the nba at 6’0, or you keep him at pg and hope he figures it out but I agree J good should be at pg and Isabel at sg.

slu72 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Then Ford ought to sit him down and say it ain't working. We need you for scoring and that's not happening for you at the point. We gave it a shot and experiment over. jimbofive likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please highlight the "pessimistic voice". Five words, two sets of figures, a plus sign and two periods. As you can see from the previous posts, there are some who don't know the capacity of Chaifetz. You are obviously smarter than any other poster as you can "hear voices" in words and figures. Please enlighten us, Amazing Kreskin.

Isabel isn't an NBA player. He doesn't have the skills that would enable him to play in the league at his size. Kwamain was a better player and he isn't close to being an NBA player.

Ford has said several times in interviews that Goodwin played his best off the ball, which is why Roby assumed more of a traditional pg duties as the season goes along. According the coach, JG was not the primary pg last year, so not surprised he's not this year either. Not saying TI is ideal in that role either, but I think he gets too much blame for some of JG's inconsistent play this year.
