Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 1303059"] I agree Cooney makes some really bad decisions, especially in transition. I don't think he's a great player, I just don't understand the criticisms some feel are valid that aren't backed up by the stats, like saying he's not a 'high D1' talent when he obviously is. The sticky part about comparing him with Triche is that they had/have different roles. Triche was asked to cover the PG role at times and create for others, so he did. Cooney is asked to shoot whenever he sees daylight, so he does. Triche never experienced 40 minutes of face-guarding, just like Cooney doesn't experience the burden of running point. Both players had/have different strengths and weaknesses but are similar enough that you can't definitively say one is head and shoulders more productive than the other. However, that's exactly what some are arguing when they say Cooney isn't a D1 talent (assuming they feel Triche was). [/QUOTE]
