More Unpopular Opinion - Ian was more fun to watch than Willie. Most Unpopular Opinion - Cory was a more exciting shot blocker than Willie. Posters look at Willie's post SLU playing career and think he was that player at SLU. He wasn't. He was a pogo stick. That's it. He caught lobs and got some weakside blocks. His post moves were non existent, not a great defender, no shooting outside of 2 feet, couldn't pass and was a subpar rebounder. Hats off to him, post SLU he got 5 times better as a player, gained about 40 lbs, became a good rebounder, PnR rim runnner. He was never that player at SLU. Most Entertaining/Charismatic/Good players of the post Larry era 1. Jett 2. J Good 3. Mitchell 4. Lisch 5. Has This is kind of a harsh take on Willie but Mitchell was THE guy for that squad. And Ian was probably a better player overall. I’d actually put Mitchell and Lisch at the top of this list as exciting to watch even if not the top in overall play. Both could take over games in ways I’d argue JGood didn’t. I’d also put Conklin on there somewhere. MusicCityBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I think Yuri is super entertaining. Dunks have a wow factor, but Yuri is a magician. A lot of players can dunk with flair, but very few can thread the ball like Yuri. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, Nesbitt is openly admitting that he believes in an afterlife. Pretty brazen really. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuri threading the needle to Hargrove against St. Bonaventure is one of the best passes I've ever seen, including the pros.

I don’t even remember the game or who it was to but for me it was the one where on the break he put English on the pass so he could get the angle needed to hit his breaking team mate. There was a defender in the way so he passed it out front and spun it so it spun across rather than past his target. It was done with 1 hand at game speed. Fir me if we are just talking the excitement and fun plays we see watching a game, it’s easily Yuri including Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Every other player and I mean every other player either pulls up or takes the ball to the rim themselves. I wish I could find video of that pass.

I think Nesbitt could become an NBA player. He just needs to be patient and let his game and his approach develop. If he has a Conklin summer or a Bess/Goodwin style evolution of his shooting, he could start to turn the heads of some NBA scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
