I agree, which again also makes me more excited for next year: Frazier with a year of experience and maybe a little more muscle and the seniors that are a step below what kind of recruits we're starting to get, will be gone (Russell and Williams particularly). I'm not a big fan of Manuel either, but hoopmanx likes him and I'll concede he knows more than I do about the subject.

“@stlappas: Big reason I'm so high on SMU? Nic Moore ! I love the mustang point guard. Smart and poised. Great get! Poor Illinois st”

I think you might start seeing other teams start putting their best guard defender on Nic Moore and not just point guard guarding point guard.

Nic is a baller

Where is a Quinton Ross when you need em, hopefully Frazier will develop soon b/c we need his shot badly.

Don't get me wrong, Ryan is offensively very frustrating. That said, he's a great athlete w/length that can spell 3 positions. He's also our best perimeter defender. That's why he plays, defense and versatility. Also, w/the new rules he slashes and can shoot fts. That said, his lack of a jumper pisses me off

yes, what he said. Ryan is used for defense mostly (even Brown has commented on his defense)

We have one obviously. He is just adjusting a little slower than we wanted him too. He has had a couple bright moments. Biggest thing for him is to develop HIS one shot and be able to create his own shot. A little defense would be appreciated as well, but it looks like the coaching staff is all over that.
Larry Brown likes defense and we are playing really well in that regard.

I agree. It looks like Frazier his improved on his defense. I liked that steal he got in the last minute against UVA.

im not really concerned about keith since he has so much talent. My concerns are his attention to school, and his ability to have enough patience with Brown so that he has time for Brown to make him into an NBA player. That will happen if he listens and learns and does not get impatient.

I bet he starts in about three games from now. he will start dropping in points once the harness comes off. When play we play a great team we will need him shooting 3's and also driving the basket.

I noticed a few times in the Aggie game that Keith was getting into the faces of the Aggie players he was guarding. He seems like a player that is eager to learn

I'd say Frazier's four fouls were indicative of a little more aggression.

Also, LB pulled Nic Moore to difuse the tension after the refs had to separate the two 11's a couple times. They almost threw down at center court. Loved the attitude.
