McDermott stat line:
37 points
15/25 FG
5/10 3 point FG
7 rebounds

He is beyond NBA ready.

What's his athleticism like? nba athlete?

About as athletic as some scrub named Bird.

I was thinking Mullin

 

[simplyred]

^^^ Yeah, him too!

At halftime, Raftery made the comparison to Dave DeBusschere.
For those of you old enough to remember, dead on balls accurate.

McDermott is a very good college player but...
He is a 6-7 combo forward. On the next level he is a catch & shoot 3-pt specialist who cant play defense. He will have a long career on the end of various benches.

I'd love to have his problems. However, I disagree. I think he will be a very productive NBA player.

LOL.

Seeing how he already earned the respect of NBA pros on the USA Select team over the summer, I'll just completely disagree with your post.

And what exactly is a combo forward?

A guy who is talented enough to play both on the inside and the wing. Apparently the NBA doesn't like those players.

Wally Szerbiak who incidently had a very nice NBA career.

Hopefully McDermott rides the LIRR drunk less often.

I was going to say Wally but didn't want to be a homer since I went to hs with him.

That Xavier game got a little too close for comfort b/c the Muskies pulled out the SJU free throw shooting strategy. Virginia and NC State both lost in ACC non conference action, how sad. :lol:

ACC is pretty much getting destroyed in OOC play thus far. Not good for their RPI to open this way. Hard to make up ground if it continues. Our loss to Wisconsin doesn't look so bad considering they just took out number 11 Florida. If it is a loss we are going to have, it's better to be to a team like Wisconsin who next week should be ranked no lowere than #14 or so in the top 25. In addition, the Big 10 seems like they'll hold too conference honors this year.

Watching Kentucky/ Duke/ Kansas/ Mich St last night- it's scary how far off those teams are from STJ. It's like watching a different league.

Could not agree more. I has the exact same thought.

You could say that about quite a few teams throughout the nation.

Your point?

We aren't close with the top tier teams, the game looks faster watching the top ranked teams play.
