Funny to me how you pick Hooper, who never plays, as your whipping boy. Real relevant to the team's demise. No comments on the guys you have seen play?
Actually Logen, it is not funny that so many StJohn's posters bought into the fantasy that Hooper would get significant playing time this season despite the fact there was absolutely no reason to believe he was a Big East player.
I am told that Hooper is a good kid who plays hard in practice so given his size and wing span it is possible to believe that he develops into a serviceable substitute but unfortunately posters on this site (perhaps you) put unfair expectations on him
Capisce?
No, not in the least. You seem to be an intelligent person but you have decided without seeing the kid play that he can't play. When I see him I see a kid that can stroke and knows how to move the ball without aimlessly dribbling; two attributes we are sorely lacking. I have not seen him get abused on defense. So me, I would like to see the kid get some extended minutes to SEE he can play in the BE. You see, I know the limitations of what we put on the court, a handful of selfish one on one players who don't seem concerned with putting in the effort on the things that win basketball games. So I think I would like to see if Hooper can add dimensions we are sorley lacking. Understand, I like to see players play before I form an opinion; obviously you are some kind of basketball whisperer who KNOWS without ever having to bother seeing someone on the court. You see it is not the best five players that win necessarily, it is the best team. Capisce?
