Donnie Freeman injures foot

[IthacaMatt]

Please, that is not accurate. They get pulled if they get repeatedly torched on defense or are responsible for sloppy turnovers. Part of the learning curve. Most Freshman have one. If a kid isn't mentally tough enough to learn from it and improve, get hungrier from siting on the pine he better take advantage of the free education he is getting because he will never get to the NBA.

If he actually pulls people for repeated defensive mistakes, then why were we down 22-2 the other night before he called his first time out? He has started pulling people for defensive mistakes, but it took him until the season was already effectively over before he started doing it. Bad defensive habits were already well ingrained by then.

Yes Donnie and Sadiq are close. Yes Donnie expressed interest to come back after 10 games because he wants to be here and wants to play with those guys next year. Yes I expect Donnie to be back next year. When something changes I’ll post it.

How can I do give you an internet hug

Cuse will have money to compete even if they do. Donnie got 150k from cuse this year. He had offers that were double and triple that. His injury is not helping his draft stock or his transfer stock either… And he knows how much the roster next year will suit his game

Thank you for sharing this information. I know that i forget that these are young guys and that relationships still do matter that it isnt always about the money.

Hah tough to argue that.

He does Donnie fit with Sadiq? They’re both the same size - neither could really shoot or handle the ball. Donnie is definitely someone who can make 3s but the consistency isn’t there yet. Plus you’d still need a big on the floor because I don’t think either are playing the 5.

Defensively I think it would work

I am back to wanting the 5 best athletes on the floor. For a while in JB's term I wanted to get shooters even if it meant less athleticism, but now I want as many fast twitch, strong and tough guys on the floor as we can. Screw positions and it's not like our offensive sets get us open looks. Let's get after people on the glass and defensive end like Houston.

No one knows what the lineup is going to look like next season, but I think there's a lot of smoke being blown around to get the heat off of Red.
