I'd be interested in seeing DW used more at the 2 and 3 spots. He doesn't seem like a natural point guard to me. When he has the ball he likes to either go to the hole or stay to far back when running the offense. I think he is a more capable 2 or 3 naturally. I think he can develop into a fine point guard if thats what coach wants to do with him though.

I would really like to see KM get more time as he is a true pass first pg that knows how to find guys and make a defense honest. I dont care if he can shoot or not at this point.

DK perplexes me. He could be so good but his focus seems to be lacking. I wish he would take the open shot when he gets it.

GS needs to stay aggressive like he has been on both sides of the court for the last few games. Keep the arms straight up though big guy!

Felter deserves way more minutes than he has seen this year. I know he is undersized and not as talented, skilled, or athletic as our other posts but he plays good d, doesn't lose his man, blocks out, works harder, and is just flat is better than our other centers on d. Oh and he actually knows how to give help d from his position. He doesn't get out of the way when someone is driving his lane either like stutz or durley do!

Someone mentioned earlier that Coach Gross said in the post-game show that KJ was feeling more comfortable at a wing position when asked about him getting some PG time. I don't view that as a positive sign - period.

KM is talented and athletic enough to play anywhere from1-3. I think Marshall wants a scoring pg for whatever reason. I don't have any problem with KM at the 2 or 3 position except I think it calls for a better shooter than what he is right now.

KM will never play the 2 because he will never be a decent shooter. His 3 ball shots are uglier than sin. No two of them are alike.

Isn't that what I just said more or less?

Here we go again (seemlingly every week).

Coaches have said many times that KM doesn't show the ability to handle the ball very well during practice and makes too many turnovers. They say that he's not ready to play and since they watch everyday, I'm going to take their word for it.

Oh here we go again... I know what Marshall thinks and I trust it. This is a message board and I'm simply voicing my opinion. I'm not lecturing you or anyone else... simply stating my opinion. I am allowed to have an opinion different than that of our head coach or yourself aren't I? Am I complaining anywhere above? Nope...

Mostly less.

You held out some hope that he would improve.

He ain't gonna improve from 3.

I've seen Manigault shoot. Give me an hour in the gym and I'll beat him at 3-pt. % and FT % - and I'm 60 and haven't played a game of BB in something like 30 years.

Kenny never had to shoot anything other than dunks and short pull-ups in HS, so there was no reason for him to learn to shoot the ball. It doesn't appear from watching warm-ups and shoot-arounds that Kenny has been taking coaching or extra practice for his shooting. I imagine he's getting coaching, but not responding to it.

or it might be, it will take him a year or so for him to develop a good jump shot consistency. Some kids take longer than other to make impacts at the college level.
