No way he should start. He must have photos

I don’t agree with that. Dylan is actually a good spot up shooter when he has time to get his feet set and shoot. That’s what he should be doing. The problem is we don’t have a coach that sees a player’s strengths and then runs plays and or develops a system to play to his team’s strengths.

Spot up shooters who are only accurate when they are wide open, can't make a shot off his dribble, have no mid-range game, and continually drive into 3 or 4 defenders before getting blocked and/or stripped of the ball belong on a 35 and older neighborhood adult league team.

Lot of good points . Mullins best team had no Big Man and no PG . It caught up to them . Simon was a great defender , ball stealer , rebounder but , most times could not throw the ball in the Ocean . BE teams dated him to shoot and doubled up on Ponds . Clark was a very streaky shooter and put up a lot of 2-15 field goal nights and was foul prone and wanted no part of rebounding down low . Figgy and Herron were good role players but , Herron was injury prone and didn’t replicate his first 2 years at Auburn . Summing up , because of the offensive limitations of Clark and Simon BE teams coujd double Ponds . And , we had no rebounding big man . So the smart BE Coaches devised game plans to minimize Ponds . Mullins team did actually run a offense , pro oriented but , organized . CMA ? Chaos is the plan on Offense and Defense . Largely unwatchable most ly .

Sly, that last Mullin team was extremely talented. Heron was not injured averaged 32 mpg with 14 ppg and 40% from three. Figgy & Simon both averaged big minutes and Justin was BE defensive player of the year. Shamorie was hardly on his own. Bottom line is they underachieved and Shamorie was one of the main culprits in that respect. I attended the BE quarterfinal blowout against Marquette and Simon was the only one playing as if he gave a damn,

Making plays sauntering back to the board after the UCONN victory like a conquering hero with the preposterous "i was on vacation with my girl and she forbade use of my cell phone" (precisely during a 5 game losing streak) was the literal high water mark of comedy on this board. And there has been a lot of hilarious stuff for the 20 years i been lurking. I'll never get over it.

But yeah got to feel for him. He didnt realize st john's turns everything to stone.

The cell phone vacation excuse an all time classic. I was in Peru at one of my wife's apartments with protest/rioters in her plaza last week and the police tear gassing her entire plaza to get rid of the protest/rioters and tear gas is literally coming in her kitchen window overlooking the plaza burning my eyes and nose and yet I found time to post here during it

The '91 Final Eight team was very good, but I still say that the '90 team (one of my personal favorites) would have made a lot of noise if Jayson Williams didn't get hurt late in the season. Boo Harvey, Malik Sealy, Robert Werdann, Jason Buchanan etc. Very good team.

Even without Williams they were very good. Some of your memories may be better then mine but there were some questionable calls in the Duke game and we easily could have been in the sweet sixteen with a chance to do more.

Come on Mike, give them some more hot water.

Yes! We got jobbed a few times - we had the lead late in the game. That was a very good team, lead by one of the great clutch players in Johnnies history - Boo Harvey.

Yeah there were some bad calls that went against us down the stretch in that game. That was prob my favorite team. Then the Elite 8 team. Then the Artest Elite 8 team.
