to allow Mark Smith to continue to play the 2 - you have to assume that Pinson continues to develop as well.

I don't see him as a savior or even an improvement over what Geist has become. I'd like to see Mark Smith continue to have this rebound year and become more of a focus for our offense next year. I'd like him to teach Pinson how to read a screen and get over the top of it - no one does it better on our team.

Then you get improvement in JT, Watson, and others and I think you start to improve.

I don't know that is true. For example Pickett was the - FIJItiger MU

It’s 90% true. There are exceptions, but not many.(nm) - Carlos Rossi KC - 1/25 16:47:23

Dru could be a good player, but still not the solution - FIJItiger MU

- 1/25 09:55:40

Except he did play PG at Evansville (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:06:42

He played some pocket moments at PG but was more of - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 10:56:52

I would prefer to see Pinson develop this offseason - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:06:35

I've been thinking about what the ideal situation would - alwaysright MU - 1/25 17:17:58

Well, everyone said Santos would make this team much better - mizzoutiger91 MU - 1/25 09:37:29

Santos was a huge recruit when he was a sophomore - quicksand MU - 1/25 20:19:29

Santos is just behind and out of sync in so many ways - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:37:22

RE: Well, everyone said Santos would make this team much better - oldtgr MU - 1/25 10:50:41

the difference between Dru and Santos is - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 09:52:21

Id love to know those people because you keep saying - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 10:59:11

It's interesting that Santos seems to be first off the bench - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 09:55:59

That's because Puryear is so bad of late. Santos has the - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 11:51:35

I think you're underestimating the talent on this team - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:44:18

I sure hope so. I still think we'll need at least 2 or 3 - Uncle John MU

- 1/26 00:01:35

There’s 2 open scholarships - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 12:08:35

Yeah Puryear has been so inconsistent, it's frustrating - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:53:47

He won’t be all American and probably not - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:04:06

He's first off the bench because of his size. Our other - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 09:58:23

Nah, he's first off the bench because Cuonzo sees something - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:02:41

Which has been the case wih CM from the beginning - longtimereader MU - 1/25 16:48:40

Pinson should be ahead of Watson in the rotation (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 11:52:45

I think he will be once he's fully out of the doghouse. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:10:09

I agree, he does a lot of things well. He may not be a stud - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:55:36

His defense was okay in against the lightning quick - Uncle John MU

- 1/25 12:01:59

His defense wasn’t very good - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 12:30:05

We lack any secondary rim protectors right now too - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:32:55

No. It's situational. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 10:59:34

Subbing in a guy with length that averages 1.6 ppg and 2.4 - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:01:45

You realize that we have to play defense, right? I would - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:08:52

What has Santos done on defense that is so special? - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:28:18

You're wrong again. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:42:05

Why are you being such a childish asshat? - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:45:58

We're disagreeing and debating. I'm not the one calling - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:03:19

All good I just need a drink(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:10:23

Me too. Sadly, it's only 1 PM where I am...(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:11:30

Only 12:30 here(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 12:26:29

One bad game - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:45:14

We can agree to disagree. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 12:01:41

Same, he protects the rim better, and Suggs defends better - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:46:39

Nikko has to get in flow without fouling - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:49:41

He plays his role well enough - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:52:18

Santos doesn’t take minutes from them - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:05:58

At some point the question has to be answered as to what - longtimereader MU - 1/25 17:04:11

I get the sense that Cuonzo isn’t coaching for this season - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 17:51:54

I'm kind of on that same page - longtimereader MU - 1/25 22:05:38

Im sorry ever kid needs a chance but - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 11:01:18

Different positions and needs - Mormad MU - 1/25 11:40:03

Suggs took some nice charges too(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:40:57

My guess is that it’s about building the culture - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:30:26

Not the point at all(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:09:42

Santos shows more than Mitchell and Nikko - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:12:19

My point was first off the bench is your 6th man - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:16:43

I think it’s more because Geist and Mark barely come out - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:24:22

I think he's playing like he's rusty on offense, and he - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 1/25 11:01:29

Not necessarily. It depends on who needs to be subbed for. - sprintcar STL - 1/25 10:21:12

It does with this team because the bench is not good - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:24:47

the first 2 guys off the bench the last 2 games - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 10:26:59

I actually like what Suggs does out there, thought he played - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:29:48

And I remember those same things being said about Jordan - kcnorthside KC - 1/25 09:54:14

Geist is our leading scorer last I checked(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 09:35:37

Which is, fundamentally, the problem (nm) - FIJItiger MU

- 1/25 09:56:59

but he is indeed a scoring threat, like it or not(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 10:03:17

It's Mizzou. Prepare to be disappointed.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 1/25 09:34:14

Sometimes we get surprised - DevilsAdvocate KC - 1/25 09:40:04

exactly. the best player is always the redshirt guy sitting - TigerA MU - 1/25 09:38:41

Santos was pretty meh at the D1 level. Dru Smith - TheWildcat STL - 1/25 11:30:15

Well someone better do something Saturday, Mark Smiths - ASecondChance MU - 1/25 11:04:35

I’m betting he’s out for a week or 2 (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/25 11:08:41

Text him(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 1/25 11:08:22
