A point guard? Exactly what the doctor ordered!

Love his game!!!

Also, I think this is the clear signal for Foster Loyer to transfer to CMU or something...

Fuck! I was holding out for OTPT.

OTPT 11
This new guy 6.

Rocket is more than likely gone.

Shortly after the post, he went on IG Live with a song playing that said, "I guess I'm not real enough for these bitches", shook his head, and signed off.

Ugh

Doesn't this free him up to play SG and not have to run the point? Seems like this helps him more than harms him if he doesn't want to play PG.

Why does he care if he doesn't want to play PG?

I know, right?

Rocket has a spot here at MSU. He can play the 2 and become a lethal off-the-ball shooter like Forbes.

Ain't playing shit if he only shows up once every 4-5 games.

How smart is Loyer or kithier or the other fringe guys? Are anu like a 4.0 guys? Hook em up with a academic and keep them on as preferred managers or some shit.

Not gonna pile on the kid, but it seems apparent that he’s lost the support of the coach, his last line of defense.

If Loyer’s shoulder injury means he’s done playing, that’s a possibility for him. Get an early start on a future career in coaching or whatever he wants to do.

Maybe he and Kithier can invent a way to get tankers unstuck. Then they’d be billionaires like Ishbia and build a giant Sparty right in the basketball stadium.

I think Izzo likes the way Kithier plays

Sometimes. I don't think.he played vs..UCLA

I don't know what it is but Kithier has some non basketball issue that is going on. He supposedly was close to giving up the game last year and may be having to rethink that. So take it easy on him. Actually take it easy on all of these kids.

With that much cash, they could make it a fire-breathing giant Sparty statue and create a walk-up and observation room for tourists. And they’d still have money left over to brick the stadium.

I’ve seen him dive for balls a couple of times. Pretty sure Tom gets a chubby whenever one of his players do that.

Did you watch Rocket shoot the basketball this year? He will never belong in the same breath as Forbes as a shooter.

No one's picking on them... They just need to find schollie space. For most programs it would be an awesome problem to have.

He's entering MSU as a Junior or a Sophmore with the COVID year? I haven't seen it reported and I am sure it won't matter, just was wondering. I am assuming that he has 4 years to play 3 (hypothetically) though.

Not sure anything about this is clear. I'll go with or something.

Towards the end of his Freshman year he showed some skills and we saw some of that in spurts through out the year. I agree he had some struggles this year but I do believe if he can get his mojo back and become consistent look out.

Not trying to pile on death roe here but yes that is a truly terrible comparison. Rocket and Forbes are totally different players

2/3 of Forbes shots were 3s (and he shot 48% as a SR). I don't think Rocket will be that type of player, but maybe less pressure handling the ball (and other options on offense) will allow him to shoot better from 3 and drive the lane with more success.

I said LIKE Forbes, not be him exactly. Christ. This is why I don't come around often anymore.

It's like, wow, Rocket didn't get an offseason of his own to develop point guard skills!

I fear Watts will never be a lethal shooter. So inconsistent. It's like he got all the ingredients to be a nice player, he just doesn't have the recipe. Be interesting to see if he stays.

Rocket can score. Consistency is the issue. The jab step two years ago owned every one. Sophomore slump (without an off-season) I suppose. If he doesn't have the junk to fight through adversity... So be it.

Is this guy a transfer or gonna be a freshman?

3 years of eligibility left. To Matty's question not sure if it's 4 to play 3 or 3 to play 3. I don't think a rs year is in the cards..

I don't feel like I disagreed in a disrespectful way. I didn't even insult your intelligence, and I love doing that when I disagree with people. Rocket is a scorer, not a shooter. Way more Keith Appling than Bryn Forbes.

Blame it on the sophomore jinx. Or if you’re Kingston: The southmore jinx.

I figured it was because there was too much ankle skin whenever DWags posted one of this shoe pics.

You can admit it turns you on Greenway. No shame in that.

You don’t come around because you made a bad comparison? Odd. We all make mistakes bro. It’s okay.
