A Soderberg sighting in Belleville today

Obi will have to really work to change his body; What we saw in ezhibition made me nervous ( worried he would get hurt ) as he could only shoot and run off one leg; Does anyone know if he can practise now? The second game he wisely stayed out of the way of play most of the time.

TL does that. DP does that. We have quite a few on the team who stay out of the fray.

Do you remember when we had non jump shooters like Bonner and Carlos Skinner who concentrated on rebounding, first? . Bonner added the transition steal and break away fast breaks for real thrills. This team has no alley oop or high pass dunk finishes, either. Maybe it will as TL or KL find someone willing to go to the basket without the ball.

We need two reliable outside shooters, and two big men, to fill these schollies. Dustin is a 6'5" SG, and it sounds like Stemler is a 6'8" SG/SF. One of our largest weaknesses has been a threadbare bench, so whenever we substituted we either lost offense or defense.

If we had an authentic outside shooter this year, Ian would be averaging a double double for the season, and shooting 50% from the field. Instead, we are seeing hm going 3/10 from the field, and shooting 15 free throws, in the tough games. A shooter might add 2-5 pts a game on his own, and create more room for a competant center.

IMMIC, Robinson/Harris had Claggett, Highmark, H, and Turner capable of popping at any time from beyond the line, so the "big" men never saw a double team, and could coast on the offensive end for good stretches of the game.

I have no problem with the "ignorant comment" statement. The ad hominem part ("don't be an idiot") is not necessary. I think the tone should be to debate each other's comments / words, not the poster as an individual.

You cut off my full post above: "If the Bills are really recruiting Stemler then it is as PF. If as a wing, then that must mean we are revoking the scholarship to Maguire."

The point I was trying to make is that I don't see how we recruit Stemler as a wing given the Maguire recruitment. We are not going to revoke Maguire's scholarship and we are not going to take two slow, soft wings (who can shoot) in the same class (thus Stemler must be viewed as a PF candidate by Brad).

If, in arguing that Stemler must be looked at as a PF, my words did not fully convey that I found the alternative silly, my apologies to whoever it offended.

So where is the downside of signing Stemler after McGuire? Do we project 40 minutes for Mac? I like to bring quality players in waves; when our premier 3 shooter goes to the bench, it's nice to have the next guy be a threat.

I agree that you can NEVER have enough guys that can score. Plus, with Novak getting 41 versus UConn and Pittsnogles' performances, most recently his 24 from everywhere on the court to help beat 'Nova, makes me anxious to have a guy that big that can knock 'em down consistently from long range.

I've seen Stemmler play a couple times and I believe he could help SLU now - he is not skinny by any means. He's been to a few SLU games, also.

Don't worry about it. Guest is a bitter little man.
