Lipsey Shoutout

[Pharmacy99]

Felt that we would have to live thru Lipsey's development this season, but didn't expect it this quick. He may already be the most important player on this team. We don't have another primary ball handler.

As far as Hunter, best NBA comp is Eric Bledsoe

Bledsoe is a better shooter than Hunter. He shot 46% overall and 38% from 3 pts in his only season at Kentucky

Yes

What position is that?

 

[bosco]

I keep forgetting that we should of had Jeremiah this year. Wonder how he'll fit in next year?

 

[mynameisjonas]

That move where he penetrated to the basket and banked it off the top of the backboard was a beaut.

Is that good?

Lipsey will end up an All-American as an upperclassmen at Iowa State. I truly believe that. Was thinking of some of the most impactful college point guards who never lit up the scoring column and think Lipsey fits in that mold. Just an absolute winner and floor general. Keep recruiting and surrounding him with elite scorers.

Jacque Vaughn
Mateen Cleaves
Aaron Craft

Typing that last name is a foul.

Marcus Smart is 6’5”

No he is not.

 

[TClone99]

No he is not.

You’re right. 6’4”. You got me good.

 

[CychiatricWard]

You’re right. 6’4”. You got me good.

6’3” more like it. And I sure did.

 

[Cyclones8824]

He’s 4th in big 12 in assists and 7th in steals in the big 12. Both of those lead freshmen in the b12

 

[Cyclones8824]

Also first in defensive plus minus in the b12

ZRF: "I wasn't happy when Otz pulled him with roughly 4.5 minutes to go when he picked up his 4th foul. When you have someone as important as Tamin to have on the floor, you don't reduce minutes arbitrarily."

Arbitrarily? Seems like a coaching decision based on the situation and experience. Pretty standard to take him out for a minute, especially with a decent lead.

So far I've liked TJ's ability to manage things and I look forward to this 'good' problem.

 

[Clone95]

As great as Lipsey has been, Holmes also needs a shout out for being good in handling pressure and running offense when they do need to take Tamin out.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Nice bit of praise for Tamin here, along with a ridiculous stat:

College basketball's 10 takes: Georgetown's 7-foot problem, petty Hunter Dickinson, Big 12 bloodbath

"He’s forced a turnover on 20 of the 40 pick-and-rolls he’s gone up against. Lipsey looks like a terrific evaluation and a guy T.J. Otzelberger can count on for years to come."

 

[CloniesForLife]

I absolutely love watching Lipsey play. We're so much more functional when he is playing. And he's so good at picking when to attack the basket and finishing. Can't wait for his jump shot to develop

No doubt, Lipsey has been better than I would’ve guessed. Maybe Fran Franchilla’s comparison to Monte Morris isn’t as lofty as I would’ve first thought.. I’d like to see more of a consistent shot midrange and from the perimeter—and that may come. Love his ability to attack the basket!

 

[cyclone1975]

I cringe when he picks up fouls because he is so important to keep on the court!

Just watched ISU-Oklahoma game highlight. OMG, Lipsey can finish at the rim. Shots that he made were not easy layups. I think he is the best finisher at the rim since Tinsley.
