Watch, learn, and practice from the legend Pistol Pete Maravich. We will need great outside shooting next year.

You guys ever watched Garrett, or Dendy shoot a free throw?? Need's some serious work. It's a five part video, I just posted the first one.

Sorry but most of these kids today would ask.... Who??

Some of that stuff is lost upon kids these days. Kids don't learn fundamentals like they did 10-20 years ago or more. Today it's street ball and more street ball.

Heck a good jump shot is almost a lost art to most of these kids.

I'm sure if Larry Bird did a video like that most would be scratching there head on who he is...

Don't make fun of Diante on here. I been getting railed by his fan club all year!
Remember he was the leader of this team all year, and he was third in the big 12 in assists. His followers are loyal. They think he is Christ with a basketball in his hands.

The problem is you state how bad he is with no evidence or consistent examples what-so-ever.
 
My problem is he makes stupid decisions. He makes bad passes. No, they don't all lead to turnovers. He is not an outside threat.(yes the last few games he was hitting). He goes outta control to the basket and has missed countless numbers of high percentage shots. I find his ball handling rather careless against the elite gaurds he has faced. Yaman, i respect your opinion and enjoy your posts. That is how i've seen Diante the last three years through my eyes ok.

Agree to disagree. This is one that will never end. I know he could be better and misses a lot of passes, that, IMO is his biggest weakness. He misses some passes that could lead to buckets.
 
So your advice is to be like Pistol Pete? That's dumb. I would advise them to be like Lebron James.

In my opinion, DG is the worst starting PG at ISU in the last 30 years. No one will convince me otherwise. He may be a wonderful human being, but I think he is a not a Big 12 quality basketball player. This is not a personal attack. My evaluation of his performance is that he is not good enough to lead us to victory. The last 3 years serve as evidence. College basketball is a guard dominated game. When your guards are not good, you lose. We have lost A LOT with DG running the show.

P.S. posting fundamental tips to college athletes and their coaches is not cool

Worst post of the day. Have you forgotten about Brian Peterson already? Or Jake Sullivan playing the one his sophomore year. Of J.C. Holloway for that matter.

I had the worst post of the day?

Are you refering to "Bryan Petersen" who shot 38% from three and had 104 turnovers during the same 2 years that DG shot 22% and had 174 turnovers?

If you meant Brian Pearson, you should be ashamed of yourself.

And comparing DG to Jake Sullivan is a ridiculous. Granted, I didn't think he belonged on the All-Century team, but Jake was a player. DG is not a Big 12 quality PG.

I'm not even going to get started on Jacy Holloway. If Diante had even half the toughness of Jacy .... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

You sir, don't have a clue
 
First, I'd never refer to Mr. Pearson.

Second, you promised you were leaving never to return.

Third, if you're just going to include 3pt percentage and turnovers as your only two criteria for what constitutes a good point guard, should've said so at the beginning.

Fourth, Sullivan is perhaps the worst pointguard ISU has ever had (though I really dont blame him because he was forced to play the one out of need).

Fifth, I'll take your silence on Holloway as agreement.
 
So you decided to take a shot at me because you thought I was leaving. Good call!

I was unclear about who you were referring to because you butchered the name of the BP you were dissing. I just picked out the 2 quickest and easiest statistics to illustrate my point, but quite honestly stats don't begin to tell the story. If you watched one ISU game this year and didn't see the countless opportunities missed by DG to deliver the ball to open teammates in a scoring position, then you either weren't watching the same game I was or know even less about basketball than I do. We will not win with DG as our PG, that is my story and I'm sticking to it.

-----

Holloway = winner
Garrett = ???
 
An "i" here and an "e" there can hardly be considered butchered, but point taken. And, yeah, if you're not coming back I'm obviously gonna take a shot at ya! I mean c'mon, that's how this place works!

I'm not claiming DG is the greatest PG ever. But I think he's a pretty decent Big 12 point guard, who gets asked to do quite a bit, and averages 9 points and 5 assists per game. Those aren't great numbers I realize, but worst PG in the last 30 years he is not.

I do admire your sticktoitiveness though.
 
Oh, and put Holloway on this year's team and he's not much of a winner anymore.
