Shaq??

[Snapshot9]

Yes, Shaq has surprised me too in the last couple of games. He seems to have a new attitude, and is more aggresive around the basket. I like the fact that he is blocking shots, as that was something we were short of. Carter, also, has been doing a better job of that. Shaq, in my book, has gone from being a liability to being an
assest now

Love his demeanor on court. Never seems to get flustered or too emotional and is under control. Game seems to be slowing down for him.

I will happily say I jumped the gun after the Drake game. I said he was gone. Now I'm not 100% sold on his commitment long term...but at least he is buying in currently. Like JT Durley...he will be a week to week project until (hopefully) the light comes on for good.

Shaq makes Carter a much better player when he (Shaq) is on the floor...

This is three games in a row that Shaq has been a positive force for us. I agree that he doesnt seem to get flustered on the court. The sky is the limit if he continues to buy into the Marshall way...

@Shaq_Morris: Focused on defense tonight. #WATCHUS http://twitter.com/GoShockers/status...267072/photo/1

Another + for this kid yesterday. His rebounding and shot blocking are very good for a freshman. He should be doing this most games in the MVC though. Not trying to slight his accomplishments, where he came from and where he is now in just 2 weeks time is amazing. Just saying it hasn't been against top bigs. I love what Shaq has done, and this time next week, we will know just how far he has come. I personally can't wait to see how he plays against Mock @ Evansville on Saturday. ILS has some decent bigs, and he held up fine. If this were the stock market, I'd take the risk and make the investment in this kid.

I'm loving Shaq's play, especially defensively. Last night he was a force in the lane, made quick recoveries on picks, and hustled his butt off. I REALLY hope he has turned the corner and stays within HCGM's good graces. We are gonna need him!

It might be time to start Shaq.

This will do a few things for this team:
1) it will give WSU some much needed size in the post. They have looked much smoother with two bigs in at once.
2) it will move Darrius to a more comfortable and natural position; the 4.
3) it will allow Evan to become the sixth-man he was born to be; able to come in for any player at any time. Much more flexibility for him and the bench.

I proposed this idea when Evan wdn't down and Kelly moved into the starting lineup, but Shaq is the hot player at the moment and fits the 5 position better the Rashard.

What say ya'll?!

I don't see it happening for a while. I think we could start seeing it to start the 2nd half in games where Carter has only picked up 1 foul.

If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Me: What happens when we play another Utah?

Note I'm not necessarily saying Shaq ought to start every game, I think Wessell played very well yesterday. The only problem is, most of the teams in the tourney will be bigger across the front line than Loyola. If we are facing a team with that kind of a front line, we might/should consider starting Shaq. Sneak Wessell in when the 6' 6" guy subs the 6' 10" guy out.
