baller001 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I believe that they honestly think that HJ players have no flaws!....Yet they only have one or two PLAYING in college every four or five years....Todd is doing a GREAT job there, but the fans can be clueless sometimes...The Turner kid is a really good athlete and is doing great there, and this guy is talking to me about rotation, and I was saying his mechanics (which BTW can be worked on) were bad, and he didn't make any threes in the ONE GAME that I saw him play in...Which would lead any sane person to believe that MAYBE this kid could work on his shooting...Just MAYBE....BUT He IS at Hardin Jeff, so there is no way he needs to work on ANYTHING! Give me a break...... :..BOTTOM LINE: I like the kid and will watch him more during the playoffs...Burrell too. its hard to base an opinion of a player from one game DV you would have to watch several game before you can claim a kid can't shoot (turner can btw) thatwould be like atching Lebron or Kobe for jsut one game when they have an off night and claiming that they are just average players
Guest DickVitale Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Lets just lock this thread here because obviously you guys are misreading me...I NEVER said that he could not PLAY...I said I LIKED THE KID!!!! In the one game that I saw, it APPEARED like he was not much of a shooter...That simple...Lock it up guys.

Hey coop, if this game is videoed tonight, can a shot or two of turners be put on this site at an "up close and personal" range?
Guest DickVitale Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 You guys just will not let it go, will you?
Lazeek Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 DV they got you rattled man!!!!! :D I never thought that I would see the day that you got rattled and gave in!!! :o
Guest DickVitale Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 DV they got you rattled man!!!!! :D I never thought that I would see the day that you got rattled and gave in!!! :o No I am not rattled, just a dumb debate thats all...That kid can play and I HOPE he shoots it better than what I saw..Thats all..
Guest tigersvoice Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah I get that, but my point was and is that I have seen him play ONCE...And during that game I saw an athlete with bad mechanics NOT making threes, so what would your assesment be of that? Honestly. His release looked bad and there was NO rotation. HE IS NOT A SHOOTER, from what I saw on Tuesday....HOWEVER, I think that kid is a player and HJ would be hard pressed to win without him. Darn! I hate it when you get it right, DickieV. But, this is right on. Nearly NO ROTATION on his shots from the floor. He did, however, do a good job from the free throw line - especially down the line when it counted. Forte??? Defense!! I've got to get this off my conscience. I'm not qualified in this day and time to make these judgments about today's players. I played, I coached, I officiated - all in MY DAY. I was the first to shoot the jump shot at my junior high school - it had not reached our high school varsity yet; it got there through me. "Set shots" were still in vogue - often, of the two handed variety. The two handed, underhand free throw was still around but it was waning. That was back in the time that basketball was still played as a "No contact" sport. Obviously, that was a while ago. The game has changed since that time and I have made the mistake of viewing it as it was instead of as it is. I apologize. I'll try to do better. I'll try not to be so opinionated - but by now, you know my mouth.
