Sterling

Post by LA_Mustang »

He deserves his own thread. He has been fantastic lately but he has to start shooting more. He's shooting 54% from the field and 44% from behind the arc. His offensive game is so efficient. We need more, Sterling!

Gotta love those numbers, keep shooting.

Ditto- shoot more please. He is so solid on both ends. Now if only Ben Moore could start putting the ball in the hoop. 1-6 from the floor and 3-6 from the line-wow.

rebounding, defense, shooting, reverse layups, rebounding...he never takes a play off and has been the best overall player on the team since taking over for Keith - IMO.

Gu had a good game as well. I don't recall any negative plays from him.

Gu did have a good game but only played 6 minutes. Mainly because memphis had to go large because they lost their pg to foul trouble.

he's just a really solid player and plays with a great bball IQ...to think he's only a Soph. He can score when we need him to but he's a very unselfish player who does all the little things to make this team better

Love LB, but he was senile for a brief moment when he started Keith over Sterling. Sterling is complete, the definition of team player. That's not a shot at Keith, he's a very slid rotation guy, but Sterling wins, that's what he does

I'm beginning to think Sterling could grow into a Quinton Ross type player as he gets more experienced. Remember Ross simply was "another guy" his first 2 years playing on a loaded team. He was remarkably polished especially on defense, worked [deleted] both offense and defense but just never asserted himself as the offensive leader until his was a Junior or Senior. Now Sterling will be surrounded by better players than Ross as SMU was declining somewhat but I can see him knocking down more shots and becoming a bigger part of the offense as his confidence improves and he team role develops

Check out the big jump in his FG%, 3 Point % and FT % in comparison to his freshman year-and he wasn't bad last year as a freshman

I was trying to think of someone to compare Sterling to.

I think I've come up with Bruce Bowen. Lock down defender, physical. Will never probably create his own shot and be a scorer, but accurate set shooter whom if you leave alone on the wing will bury the three. Long arms and just a pain in the [deleted] to play against on the defensive end. A little more athletic than Bowen was, so a little more upside

I'm going to try to forget you made that comparison. Not saying it's wrong, just barf... And hopefully he doesnt try to injure guys by getting underneath them after a shot like Bowen.
