And as a freshman at that.. im shocked at people being so low on LQ. His shooting form is immaculate, balances up on a quick release with absolutely no wasted motion. No chance he isnt a better shooter than he showed last year.

To me his absolute floor is a bigger, quicker version of Skylar Mays at LSU - who was a 1st team All-SEC player

At times LQ shot the ball well when no one else did. Very good at drawing the foul going to the basket too.

He was by far the second best player last year.

Lester did a better job on Cumberland defensively than Raynere Thornton. He actually fouled Cumberland out if they call that charge. I can see Penny doing offensive and defensive substitutions but LQ is going to get a lot of playing time.

I'm interested in our PG situation. We are a great point guard away from being dominant. Not even Derrick Rose great, I would take Jeremiah Martin great or Chris Garner great.

Especially when DJ was gone.

Agree with you. You can't keep your most productive & most versatile returning player off the floor at least until someone else shows in real games they are better.

If he can shoot anywhere over 35% from 3 and around 45% from the field he is a completely different player. Right now, you really don't have to guard him. He didn't hit a lot of shots from outside, he doesn't drive the ball particularly well and he doesn't create shots for others.

I expect him to improve, but I think at the two, Nolley is much better right now and Boogie will be. I think at the three, DJ, Nolley and Williams are all much better right now.

I think if he is near the top in minutes played it will be a product of Boogie, not improving as much as we would like, or improving so much as a point guard, that it frees up a bunch of his minutes at the two. Baugh is also kind of in no man's land.

Did we watch different teams last year? LQ had an early season adjustment (as expected) but after the first 5 games or so, he absolutely had to be guarded and he was one of our most effective attackers off the dribble. He was the best guard on the team both defensively and offensively by a country mile. And his free throw shooting suggests 35% 3pt shooting is absolutely in range

He had better overall stats his first 5 games than he did the rest of the season.

I guess it depends on your viewpoiont

He shot 42.5% in the first 5 games and 24% from the 3 against poor competition and averaged 12 points

He shot 40.2% from the field and shot 31.3 from the 3 for the year and averaged 10.7 points.

One strange stat surprise looking at this data...

Baugh made as many 3 pointers as Maurice and shot a higher percentage...LOL

I guess it helped that there is no college football season to distract you. Since it was called off in July and "some peeps" knew that already.

Oh wait, you two thought penny was not a booster, even though his name was printed on football game programs for more than five years

Tell us again about how you knew the season was being cancelled and how the B10 announcement was the "first of the dominoes falling".
Your desperate plea to "look at me - I'm an insider" is hilarious.

Ike will let u Dudes know, Lester has been working on the Trey Ball all off season,
U can LOCK IT, Lester can BUST THE TREY

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Stokes will be eligible at least by Jan '21

Baugh defended Cumberland well in the Cincy game in Memphis as well. Frankly, I wish CPH had let Baugh defend him for a few minutes in the 2nd half of the game in Cincy to give Lester a break--he was gassed and Cumberland came on late in the 2nd half to bring them back.

Without getting into stuff before you started posting here more often, your info has more often than not, been laughably wrong. The Big Ten and PAC12 were supposedly much smarter than everyone else who would eventually fall in line behind them. There has been other stuff as well. What you are getting as an insider is your checks being cashed at record speed.

As far as the coaches go, there are two differences between you and some members of this board. First, you give a lot of money to the program. Two, the coaches aren't forced to spend any time with us.

I'm sure the coaches appreciate you outing them to a significant portion of their fanbase. This follows your usual weird pattern of behaviour. For some reason, "breaking" information that many already know but have the common sense to not discuss, makes you feel important, probably gets you horny.

Somewhat a non-stat. He shot 17 3's in 31 games and made 5. So, he only shot a three in about every other game.

Baugh hit big shots to win UT game....for that, I will forever be greatful....

Is Stokes still a Tiger?
