And 4 to 5 assists. I don't that that is too unfair.

Me neither, I just feel like some, specifically based on the Frazier hype, think hell put up huge numbers.

Don't see it, he's not a shooter and will set the table given the chance. He's that kid who may get you a triple double though at 11pt, 10 dimes, 10 boards on rare occasion

He is a scorer though, will be interesting to see what he does this year with a bit less talent around him. I expect his numbers offensively to go up by quite a bit. I like his game and his ability to get to the rim. I tend to think he averages more in the 15 PPG range but we'll see. He's not really in the same category as Frazier, this is a kid that is one and done. Guess we will find out, I don't expect him to be the best player on SMU next year however, still think Moore will have the upper hand when push comes to shove. Gonna be a great back-court either way though.

If he averages 15, it'll be bc of these new rules, cause hell live in the lane and force so much contact, I agree, Moore will still be the guy

Yeah, kinda counting on him to live at the line. These guards are getting 2-4 ppg this year from the new rule it seems like. I knew what you meant when you started the thread though, I think there's a few that expect him to be AAC POY and average 27 ppg, 7 apg, and 6 rpg while en route to a Final Four berth ha

Well, put it this way, I've had lengthy discussions w/all of fraziers people prior to the season, and they were adamant he'd start, lead the team in minutes, ppg. His season, to this point, is as big a surprise to his people, as it is to some of our fans.

it would be hard to argue with LB's playing minutes decisions, even for the most adamant Shark fan - given the results of his minutes. Personally i think he will continue to loosen up the more he plays - i think he gives up the ball too easily and needs to go for it more than he does - but he is probably listening to his coaches. That will wear off.

He just doesn't look good, no other way to put. Offense is forced and defense has been forgettable. Not a good formula.

As long as they're surprised at Frazier's current difficulty to feel comfortable and play within the offense to his strengths, and not surprised (read, livid) at Larry's refusal to have him on the court 24/7

Is he looking okay to be here in the spring? No point in playing him very much with an all new team if he isn't going to be here when the spring semester rolls around.
