today as they were as freshman. I think both have limitations which keep their ceiling low. Puryear is not a great jumper and isn't quick. Those are things you either have or you don't. Phillips has improved his shooting, but this team has plenty of shooters so it hasn't really mattered.

Because they aren't capable. You don't just decide you - TheWildcat STL - 1/11 13:47:54

ha. not sure. i guess both? (nm) - phrejd MU

- 1/11 13:57:03

SFA had the most success against him IMO. They had a - TheWildcat STL - 1/11 13:53:35

Robertson was just as bad that game, i'd step my pressure - playhard NWMSU - 1/11 13:55:44

Yea, Robertson doesn't do much very well outside of shoot - TheWildcat STL - 1/11 13:57:16

He also has blinders on when he drives to the lane. He - Uncle John MU

missing a layup is better than a wide open vanleer (nm) - phrejd MU

Oh no you didn't!!! - Cosmo MU

- 1/11 14:13:38

Maybe, but he did just hit a three in the Florida game so I - Uncle John MU

- 1/11 14:36:14

finishing at the rim really doesn't seem to be a strength - phrejd MU

- 1/11 14:03:54

Tilmon is good at it. (nm) - zounami MU - 1/11 14:05:52

I get that and that's why i'm just not sold yet on him - playhard NWMSU - 1/11 13:51:51

That angle they showed pregame last night showed - Uncle John MU

- 1/11 14:12:05

Yep. Robertson meets the pass and it is a foul on Florida... - BandG MU - 1/11 14:54:20

I will admit that when he signed I was very skeptical of him - tgr MU

- 1/11 13:45:48

I liked him from the start. Great fire, adequate skills - raskolnikov MU - 1/11 13:54:38

Me too(nm) - Uncle John MU

RE: I liked him from the start. Great fire, adequate skills - phrejd MU

- 1/11 14:01:26

Cuonzo has brought him a long a ton. He is far better - TheWildcat STL - 1/11 13:47:10

So you'd say he's a player who can contribute to a - Eggs MU - 1/11 13:47:03

he's proven he can contribute. i still don't like him at PG - phrejd MU

- 1/11 13:49:50

Yeah, I’d like to have better options - WildCard MU - 1/11 13:55:08

well i suppose that's true (nm) - phrejd MU

- 1/11 13:57:53

Yep(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 1/11 13:55:27

I thought Phillips would take a huge step and thrive - Eggs MU - 1/11 13:53:20

I did(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 1/11 14:13:29

Phillips doesn't stay on the floor very long, 2 maybe 3 - playhard NWMSU - 1/11 14:01:15

He was abused by West Virginia. (nm) - Uncle John MU

yeah that one still really puzzles me too (nm) - phrejd MU

- 1/11 13:55:39

Yes. He's a good P5 role player. (nm) - tgr MU
