i havent had a chance to watch the Shockers play at all this year and am curious as to why Nick Wiggins is getting no playing time, i played in the same conference as him in Juco and he was unstoppable, is it the system, just better players, or something off court or attitiude related. i figured he would step in and be able to help the shockers right away and start or log big minutes, thanks for the info and good luck on the season

Coach has said he is too "loose" with the ball. He doesn't defend or rebound like coach wants and he is still learning the system. We are all very excited for Nick to "get it." It will take some time, but once he does, he will add a whole new dimension to this team.Livin the dream

thanks for the input guys. i was just curious as i have been checking the box scores lately. not much good D is played around here in Juco. i was wondering how his game would translate to D1. hopefully he gets a chance to shine, it has to be tuff coming in as a JR and waiting for your turn. hopefully he can figure it out soon. on a side note im a Iowa Hawkeyes fan and they have a possible game coming up vs the Shockers so maybe i will get to finally watch a game and see for myself.

Sometimes, it just takes JUCO players awhile to adjust to our system and "get it." It says nothing about the player. Ragland was the same way last year and become one of the deadliest players in the nation as a senior.
From the games I've watched, Wiggins may be our best finisher at the rim, but Marshall really stresses a complete game. His skills in other areas just need to catch up, but he'll get his playing time if he earns it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him much more often near the end of the season, because we've had guys in similar situations turn it on around then.

FWIW -- I think that's why CleAnthony is missing shots right now as well. He's having to think more at this point in the season and that fraction of a second where you are conflicted about what you are told to do versus what has been instinctive just throws you off a bit. Eventually those two aren't in conflict and that's when a good JUCO player pours it on.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!
