Aquinas Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 6 hours ago, billiken_roy said: did minutes just "open up"? or have they already been promised to parker, or kramer or perkins, etc. all i know is that right now i think ford needs perkins like crazy and he needs parker to be a star. some of you are downplaying nesbit's move, i am not. this is not good for the billikens imo. I agree it isn't good news. I think we were a player short of dancing this year. By that I mean that we needed 4 players playing at a B grade or better. I would give Yuri an A+, Gibson a B+, and Okoro a B- as he closed out the season. I think Nesbitt was a C. Trade Nesbitt for Perkins and we are dancing. If Parker is a C+ or better, we will have a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old guy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 How can you (anyone) know what anyone else is thinking? all a person knows is how he/she thinks. I think we are projecting our thoughts into Nesbitt. Ultimately he will do what he will do. I think we should start looking for a replacement, I do not think Nesbitt is the kind of guy that think things over and over again, I think he is more of the action type. Again, these are my thoughts projected onto him, not necessarily his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Man Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I never thought Willie or JGood would make it, so I won't rule out JNezz getting there eventually...after toiling for years in obscurity and maturing on the court and off. Best of luck. He's going to need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he has a crazy camp, starts a bidding war, and boom, lottery pick. But more realistically, I hope he continues to learn, grow, and become a more level headed individual from this experience. He has a bright future as long as he learns to control and harness his emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 9 hours ago, NoCoBillsFan said: Another point that hasn't been mentioned: losing Nesbitt further exasperates the need for another guard with ball-handling abilities. I could trust Jordan to bring the ball up when Yuri was being pressured hard. Now, I don't think there's anybody on the team that could handle that role. Maybe Thatch, but I wouldn't want to heavily rely on him for it. Exacerbates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 JNezz to NBA- What do I need to work on? NBA to Nesbitt 1. Ball Handling, shot both midrange and 3, decision making … ahhhh wtf. Everything The guy is t even close to being an NBA player. This is really kind of silly CBFan and AGB91 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to change. Sure it needs to change. But how has Gordan panned out other places? Don’t think you can blame him on Ford. I wish Nesbitt well. But you can tell he didn’t buy in and wanted to play his own way. You can’t do that. Also his second school in little over a year. We’ll see how this pans out for Jordan. Hopefully well but I don’t see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to change. Gordon was no one elses fault but himself, he's just not all there between the ears. I went to school with him for a year, long story short I was packing up my books and he walked in because coach wanted to talk with him. The coach asked him, What happen on this chemistry test? You got a D! He responded " a D... Coach I thought a D was good" Any way, the stories of what happen in practice when he was on the team at SLU werent the most flattering, which eventually led to him getting voted off. Such a waste of talent but he was a toxic head case unfortunately. I'm just curious who's in these kids ear telling them this is the right move. Not saying declaring is a bad move, but in my eyes it's not the smartest decission for Nessbit in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU-Geo Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is what "getting paid in Europe" can look like. Javon Bess is the leading scorer for the 5th place team in Iceland League. I'm not downplaying a young man making a living playing ball but its not all the NBA lifestyle. Good luck to Mr. Nesbitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bess is #3 in the league in PPG. Hopefully that's good enough to get signed by a continental team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
