Fred Van Vleet a Shocker Star

[Dan]

crazy how things have developed this year. First it was Cle, all american. Then it was Cle and Ron, future NBA picks. Now it's Fred, all american. We've got some serious talent on this team.

You know, I was watching Fred last night and on at least two or three occasions he did things that to me appeared to be out of character for Fred. I had an uneasy feeling all game that I could not explain.

Then after the game I saw his stat line and it became clear.

28 minutes, 22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 Turnover

HE ONLY HAD A 3:1 TURNOVER TO ASSIST RATIO!!!! ONLY 3 to 1....

Talk about a player exceeding and then further inflating our expectations.... Mere mortals would kill for a 3:1 assist to turnover ratio...

He is not human...

[Dave Stalwart]

Yes Fred had an off night. He had a turnover. With a good week of practice I think he will recover

[Aargh]

Here's my 2 cents. At first everyone was concentrating on Early. Fred fed Baker, and suddenly Baker was an NBA prospect. A lot of media and other observers were speculating that Ron was possibly the best player on the team.

Then Ron tweaked his ankle, so Fred fed Early again, and Early's stats went through the roof. So teams started focusing on shutting Early down again. With Baker still hobbling, who does Fred go to now? He goes to Fred. Fred is one of those players who makes the players around him look better.

The man simply finds a way. If there isn't a way - he makes a way.

Marshall makes them practice in weighted vest? Haven't heard that before

[Mr.Kevin]

The one who had been telling everyone about Fred was me. He's my cousin and yes I'm an Indiana state grad so this upcoming game has me torn. I basically quit commenting on message boards because I got tired of all the complaining and unrealistic views of the fans regarding their teams. The one poster from Rockford is right though, Rockford is incredibly proud of friend and so is his family.

Lol...it's tough...I bleed blue but Fred is family. Basically win/win for me but ISU needs this game to help a possible at large bid. WSU will be in no problem. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy a great game on my birthday tomorrow. Wishing that it was closet to home so I could go though.

Did you read another article in this SBNation, about 8 teams that can win it all?
Of course, FVV is a big part of it

I like the author's Elite Eights. To win the NC, you have to beat 3 teams on his list. Very tough this year!
