If it were your choice Victor Oladipo wouldn't even be on this team. |

I've clearly said that after seeing him play. It must suck when you have nowhere to go so you just start throwing false statements out there. I'm sure I said something along the lines of I'm not sure where Crean is going to find the minutes for all of these redundant wing players he keeps bringing in. You know me, the biggest proponent of Crean yanking schollies to cover mistakes. |

Actually, I remember you saying that you wouldn't offer a scholarship to a guard who can't hit his free throws. So, you never would have offered Oladipo. |

So you think shooting 1 free throw per game gives you a good feel on how good of a shooter a kid is? He is hitting 40% of his 3s....I have a sneaky hunch his FT percentage will go up as he gets more opportunities. |

I didn't say I think that at all. I'm saying that YOU said you would never recruit a guard who couldn't hit his free throws. So you would have never recruited Oladipo, I guess. |

And you can't read......just basically said 15 free throw attempts in 15 games is too small of a sample size to say whether or not a guy can shoot. Generally, guys who can hit a solid % from 3 point range make a solid % of their free throws. He is 7-15.....do you expect him to stay there?.........I already said I expect it to go up. |

I believe he was a poor FT shooter in HS as well. That is when kids are recruited right? High School?

Want to know what the difference between believe and fact are?..................just go to a local church on Sunday. One can be proven, and the other cannot/has not. |

So what's the percentage that VO's FTs have to climb above in order for him not to be a wasted scholarship? By the way, there's more evidence that he was a poor FT shooter in HS, but it's also a small sample size, so I won't bother posting it unless I find more. |

The guy picked last in gym class

You are a fucking idiot. He hasn't had 15 free throws. He's had 37. And he's hit 17....so he's hitting at a 46% clip. In high school, the only stats I've found on free throw shooting was for a 12 game stretch in which he was 6 of 12. So we now have 49 known free throws in games....and he's hit 23. Dreach is completely on the mark here....you are on record as saying a guard who can't hit free throws shouldn't be recruited because you could never put him in the end of the game. |

Here is the difference: you 'believe' Oladipo has shot 15 free throws, when he in fact has shot 37. I know you have a real issue with numbers, but the alligator eats the larger number...so 15 < 37. |

Haha. I didn't even think to check Evil's stats to see if he was right. 50 free throws is a pretty good sample size. I guess we'll just add VO to the list of wasted scholarships by Crean. |

so speaking of free throws, remember when Jeremiah Rivers couldn't hit one to save his life? Now he's shooting over 80%. Also, with Victor, against Ferris State he hit about as clutch of a free throw as a true freshman can 2 games into the season. |
