It is funny, context, nuance and all...

The OP thread.."I believe in Sam Onu"

Atlanta pops in:

Like most young bigs, he's likely to find the pace difficult initially too. Hope he can shoot FTs & stay out of foul trouble.

Then this dude:

I think his game will elevate our guard play as long as they are staying in motion on the perimeter and getting open for the 3pt shot. He may be a little slower than Cisse's speed, but I will take that all day as long as he can catch a pass in the post or off a pick and roll.

Three strong posts saying via a Youtube video he's looking better than the reigning AAC Freshman of the Year.

So my post was:

Please don't let this thread be a new "stupid expectations from empty posters."

lol Your plea is duly noted.

But what other kind is there?

Reasonable ones.

Hoping Sam can give us a couple good minutes a game. Get some experience but not be disappointed when he's a 3 and 3 guy at the end of the year.

So yeah, 3 and 3 as ceiling...essentially telling the folks prior to my post who had Sam Onu >>> Cisse (who averaged 7 and 7) don't kill the dude if he's going for 3 and 3.

Context? So now back to lying when you get clowned out again. You are literally contradicting yourself in every single post. It's all right here...

Quote:So yeah, 3 and 3 as ceiling

Quote:To sit on the bench and not play.

Quote:Sam is right in that spot at 100. 3 and 3 would be on target.

You didn't say 3 and 3 was the ceiling and you didn't say he wouldn't play. You said it was the target.

But keep on with the lies. I still can't believe you still feel like humiliating yourself.

Then every time a kid enters the transfer portal, the same people say Penny should have played him more.

Lol yep. Saw something funny the other day. An AAU got got a technical foul because he put all 10 guys on the court and refused to take 5 back. When he got the T he turned to the parents in the stands and said “see I’m not allowed to start everyone. This board reminds me of this

FANTASTIC !!!!!!!
