Re: What is the ceiling now

The ceiling is basically the same as it has been (sans after the Arky game when we were thinking it could be a shade higher). We should have 2-3 more conference wins. The floor would be just 1, and I'd be shocked and faint if we hit 4. Half of our remaining 8 games we have no shot in, and could get...

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

Saben Lee improved his 3 point shooting over time. 3 point shooting comes down to repetition and hours or practice. I don’t see why Lawrence wouldn’t be able to add an outside shot.

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

What CKS and most coaches do is ride their go-to guys. CJS OTOH has played Lawrence 25 mpg and Robbins 22 mpg this season. Wright is also at 24 mpg. I would hope that someone like Dort would be the man next year, but you may be correct that Lawrence will be (due to the lack of development/PT for Do...

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

My opinion is that he brings the ball into the front court and picks up his dribble too often 35' from the basket. Quite honestly, Wright could do the exact same thing, as could Lewis. I appreciate wanting to find value, but we have two players on this roster that do more than what Thomas does at p...

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

He keeps the ball moving on offense. He doesn’t try to do things on his own. If he gets an open look he takes it. We’ve all see trey hit big shots He’s shooting 30.8% from 3pt, nothing close to a shooting specialist. I respect Trey as well and he’s overcome the odds and seems to be an awesome dude....

Re: CJS talks about benching players in Tuesday's loss

Sometimes getting your ass kicked is a great motivator. If he wants to get his point across and they still won’t listen then I don’t blame him for letting them think they can go do it on their own. They saw the result. They were embarrassed. Now it’s over and done with. Time to see what coach and th...

Re: What is the ceiling now

I think this is largely dependent on Wednesdays game. IF they pull off an all time upset, they will have all the confidence in the world going down the home stretch.

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

All that being said, if we’re looking at recruiting stars we have a few guys that really needy to step up. Trey Thomas probably has topped out. When other guys reach their potential they will get more minutes too.

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

Thomas hasn't done anything wrong but he was recruited by teams like UMass and Rice as a 2 star or low 3 star as I recall. He seems to be a guy that should be playing 5 minutes or less a game or potentially in times where foul trouble or injury force additional minutes. One poster said it correctly...

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

I don’t get to distribute playing time. I’m just offering an explanation of why stackhouse plays him.

Re: Thomas knows someone-Special

Trey Thomas plays because he doesn’t turn the ball over. He might not fill up the bucket but he doesn’t give it away either. And he does hit 3's and he typifies most Vanderbilt student athletes: not highly recruited but hard working and team- oriented making the most of potential vs vastly talented...
