Ponds - 1st NBA game

[monte]

Speaking of very good Johnnies, in the last 20 years, I could only find one of our players who made the year-end Wooden Award finalist list, Name him. 

Interesting question. I know Harrison was on the Wooden Award watchlist for awhile his senior year but he had some injury issues down the stretch and he kind of faded a little bit. So don't think he made it to the final stage.

maybe Dwight Hardy? He was excellent all season that one year. 

Hardy is correct. Good call. 


Here's the list going back to 2006-2007. I had to look up prior years manually.

That Hardy season was awesome. The first sju game I ever went to in person was when we played @Nova that season. Hardy cooked them. They had no answer for him. Funny enough that was the last time we beat Nova for a longgggg time until just a couple years ago.

Ponds was a stud and a great Johnnie. For me,what hurt him was his preoccupation with getting to the NBA and being the next Curry. During his last year, he was too fixated on the attributes that scouts wanted to see - and too many times forced the issue (e.g. giving up a clear layup to pass to someone 22 feet away from the basket).

At times he gave the impression that he was "over" the college experience and that it was a foregone conclusion that he was destined for the pros. Too much showboating - even on the layup line.

With all that said, one of my favorites. Mullin should have reined him in.



I'd say this is pretty spot on

Maybe the greatest season coming out of nowhere, of any Johnny ever.

The best example  of NR not having a clue.

I’m sure it’s been said somewhere but simple fix is to press the “source” button on top left once you open up the reply box. Not for you moose, but for you.
