If this classifies me as an “MBM”, I’m happy to be one. Not sure why you’re skewing my words in multiple posts to try to prove a point but I guess it’s a hobby for some on this board First of all, MBM is just a funny term that applies to all of us. It is not used just to those we disagree with at any given moment. Secondly, if you meant that Thames has the potential to be a solid back up at the point for Yuri and that this could happen as early as this year, then you and I agree. You didn't word it that way, but I'm fine with fine tuning things that were said to reach common ground. Fraz likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 One more thing about Thames. There will come a game this season, or maybe a stretch of games, where Thames looks every bit like a freshmen prone to turning the ball over, lost on defense, taking bad shots. When this happens, and many on the board are down on him and questioning why Ford gave him such high praise, I will be saying the exact same thing I am saying now. Give him time to develop. He's a freshmen. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about changing the narrative, no one has never said Thames, won’t make a mistake… we said he will be a competent backup for 5-7 minutes per game… and guess what, that experienced grad transfer with marginal athletic ability, that you so desperately wanted will make mistakes too…meanwhile, the talented Freshman, with tons of upside would be sitting on the bench and not getting the experience that he needs for next year when he will be called upon for a larger role… HenryB, dennis_w, billiken_roy and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with the idea that he can be a competent backup to Yuri for 5-7 minutes per game. We don't disagree about that. Also, I'm not all that upset that they didn't use the last scholarship for a backup PG. I trust the coaches. Even if they had brought in a grad transfer PG with one year of eligibility left, I would still prefer that Thames get those minutes if he can handle it. My issue was with comments like Thames is dominating (based on highlights on Twitter) or Thames is what we were hoping Nesbitt would be. Stop trying to read something into what I said that is not there. bauman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a smooth looking shot. Reminds me a bit of Jalen Crutcher who had a low release, but was able to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
