Has anyone gone to watch him this year? Looks like he is having a pretty good year. Averaging 12 and 7, but too many t.o.'s look to be keeping him from the NBA. Also, I just noticed that Steve Alford's long lost butt buddy, Quin Snyder is coaching the Tulsa NBD-L team. Those two have to go through a can of grease a day for their hair.
Stinson
- Thread starter ZJohnson
- Start date
I just watched part of a televised D-League game yesterday of the Energy.
Stinson looks good. Maybe it was the low-quality broadcast, but he looks leaner and more sculpted than I remember him. He is playing the point, and his ballhandling, passing, and decision-making also impressed me.

I went to the opening night at the Well and watched him. I found myself missing him at ISU. He has great handles, great instincts, was leading the team, and was smart with the ball. He still can't shoot a lick...
Until he learns to shoot, I don't think he will be going to NBA.

Stinson isn't really looking to score in the D-League. He goes through stretches of sloppy handling and passing, but the entire D-League is like that. Not a huge fan of it. Guys don't run as hard, and they don't try as hard. I was hoping that in a D-League format, guys would be giving their all trying to make it. Instead, many of them come off as lazy.
I am not saying Stinson is that way, but he isn't playing with a fire under his *** either...
Bottom line: A guard that can't score at will doesn't typically make it to the NBA...

It was good to see that Curt really hasn't changed his game...he still glares at the refs with his hands out everytime he is called for a foul/loses the ball and thought it should have been a foul...
The game last night was sure good for some laughs, especially when the big guy on the other team got ejected. :yes: The crowd was terrible; less people than are normally in the ISU student section at games.

Snyder left Austin?
upon further investigation:
