and Puryear played over him.

But Smith didn't take stupid phucking shots like Puryear did so I liked Smith inthere more. Mitchell Smith shot 41% from 3.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

I'm hoping there's carry over from his late season progress - longtimereader MU - 7/9 14:40:45

I'm hoping he gets beat out by one of the new guys - Jeff85 MU - 7/11 08:40:52

we heard the same stuff last year about him - NWMizzouFan MU

- 7/10 09:40:45

He only had like 3 games where he was slightly below average - StaleyTiger MU - 7/9 17:33:03

He’s 1 of the players Cuonzo has pointed out recently - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/9 17:47:13

Didn't he get pointed out as making progress last off-season - StaleyTiger MU - 7/10 07:10:44

I think that's the best we should hope from him - longtimereader MU - 7/10 23:09:50

And he was better than he was before - alwaysright MU - 7/10 11:42:39

There is no way he will be a Puryear type of player - FIJItiger MU

- 7/10 08:56:56

I can't read the tweet due to a firewall but I will - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:26:33

No way Smith is more skilled than Puryear. - tgr MU

Because Smith lacks so much strength, he is a liability - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:50:01

Puryear took some forced shots for sure but that doesn't - tgr MU

- 7/10 09:54:00

Puryear got the minutes over Smith because he - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:55:08

one of the few times I disagree with your take on Mizzou - NWMizzouFan MU

- 7/10 09:41:55

Smith is a better shooter, ball handler, and quicker - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:47:11

I disagree with all 3 of things. I can't recall a single - tgr MU

- 7/10 09:52:31

Then you either didn’t watch or choose to not remember but - alwaysright MU - 7/11 05:06:29

offense isn’t what held Smith back - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 10:04:31

Puryear is definitely a better defender. Smith gets punished - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 10:08:01

And produced less per minute than Smith. As I said below - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:54:31

The biggest thing holding Mitch back right now - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 09:41:51

Something in all of these equations everyone is missing - longtimereader MU - 7/10 23:06:49

he is very weak physically. He gets abused on defense - NWMizzouFan MU

- 7/10 09:42:48

I think it’s the opposite he’s lost or out of position - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 09:47:14

Which is exactly the role Puryear was suited for. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:50:18

I dont get why coach would keep him around. You would - NWMizzouFan MU

- 7/10 09:49:02

you need guys on the bench that are ok - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 10:11:40

In minutes played he had more blocks, better fg% better - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:53:14

Mitch also had 1 of the worst +/- on the team - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 10:08:23

No argument from me. He can't defend (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 10:14:00

I think he can, he just has to do better at sticking - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 10:23:07

its mostly because he is so physically weak. I really wonder - NWMizzouFan MU

- 7/10 10:19:25

Reports are that he’s 1 of the hardest workers - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 10:26:54

Physically he and Claxton or very much the same(nm) - longtimereader MU - 7/10 23:15:42

And by the way, I am conceding that Smith is not good. - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:58:12

I disagree with that. Puryear was a lot more skilled than - StaleyTiger MU - 7/10 09:39:45

depends what you are talking about with skill - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 09:45:25

I think Puryear has a better shooting stroke too. - StaleyTiger MU - 7/10 09:50:01

When have you ever seen Puryear pass? Most shots - TheWildcat STL - 7/10 09:51:00

Not the same way that Cuonzo has talked about him this summe - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/10 07:14:51

I forgot about Kobe Brown. I think 4th or 5th big is - StaleyTiger MU - 7/10 07:17:03

And to put out a tweet in his regard. - longtimereader MU - 7/9 23:09:40
