[ianoconnor]

Good work Craig!

Exactly. There won't be a bigger indictment of the Gmac era than Brackins' pro success.

make that no bigger indictment than the success of Craig Brackins, Wesley Johnson, Mike Taylor,........

This list is just depressing.:sad:

I too said similar things...in the NBA, he's going to have other people on his team that are stars, so first they won't be double teaming Brackins anyway. Secondly, nobody plays defense in the NBA anyway. I always thought it was the product of a combination of a ****** offensive system and players who didn't know how to draw defenders away from him. Players in the NBA are good and they also know how to draw defenders away from a guy getting double/triple teamed

Watch a full NBA game and you won't say "nobody plays defense". That's absurd, sorry. That's where Craig has the most to learn is on the defensive end -great to see him moving up the draft boards!

nice, good work craig! man how bad did our coaching have to suck if he is that explosive? my gosh.

Fizer's NBA game was fine. His team was awful and he was injured for a good portion of his career.

Exactly. Without the injuries, Fizer and his game would have been a great fit for the NBA. He would have been one hell of a 6th man in that league.

As for Brackins, good for him. Wish things would have worked out better for him at ISU.

 

[Bardman]

I still can't believe he has a 40" vert! Craig is a hard worker and he will only improve in the league.

I think fizer could do what charles boozer does for the jazz. but , it didn't work out like that for a lot of different reasons.

 

[VeloClone]

It literally makes me sick, that this guy didnt get too win more games as Cyclone. Brackins will go down as one of the best Cyclones ever. His loyalty to his team and our school is outstanding. Going to miss him! Here is to hoping he goes to the Bulls!

Are you puking or do you just have the runs?

 

[goclones99]

By Charles you mean Carlos.... Unless Charles left for an offer to play pro. :smile:.

But Craig will do fine in the NBA, no doubt about it. But I can't help to think with hearing all these great things about Craig, why didn't we win more games? I mean yeah he was double teamed a lot but if I'm not mistaken there are five players on each team. It's a simple rotation of DG or Scott or even LaRon. A pass out to an three or an open cut to the hoop NEVER happened. Gmac just needed to implement a simple rotation and when your open cut to the hoop. I mean I'm no coach but it seems like to many times we stood and watched what Craig would do. Only thing that runs through my head after last season is Herm Edwards saying..... COME ON MAN!!! :spinny:

 

[Wesley]

Too bad our coach couldn't figure out a way to exploit those double and triple teams.

But McD knew how to develop big men. It just took him awhile.

 

[Wesley]

I still can't believe he has a 40" vert! Craig is a hard worker and he will only improve in the league.

It is more important that he hits his shots in the session.

I'll stick with the prediction that CB will never play a second in the NBA.

 

[Tpups21]

I'll stick with the prediction that CB will never play a second in the NBA.

Never play a second? :skeptical:

 

[PGreen ISU '92]

Great news to hear! Craig Brackins deserves to have good things happen for him. Go Cyclones!

 

[CyFever]

I'll stick with the prediction that CB will never play a second in the NBA.

'Worst bet I ever made' is another thread...

 

[Wesley]

It was his slow ball system that made them into superstars.

 

[Wesley]

I'll stick with the prediction that CB will never play a second in the NBA.

You may be inching out on the limb.

 

[st8]

I'll stick with the prediction that CB will never play a second in the NBA.

jackson vroman played more than a second in the NBA. Brackins is a better player than he was.

 

[Wesley]

Mike Taylor scored 27 points in one game....

 

[gocubs2118]

I still laugh when people said Brackins wouldn't get drafted. Do people really believe that anymore? If you do, you're basketball stupid.
