What I noticed was the ball looked bigger in his hands dribbling etc somehow to me than the others . I was focusing on him as hadnt seen him at all. Reminded me of a taller Jay Burson of OSU fame in that manner ..............If he is close we have a good college player.
For sure on Burson. I don't care where he played you had to respect that kid especially after what happened. I got sense too it was a different game and Cupps was playing his role which is a good thing.
I would call you a dumb F2ck but my uncle the mod has asked everyone quit with the personal attacks, so I will refrain
Size and athleticism? There are a ton of guys like Skiles, Alford, Stockton etc etc that were smallish guards with limited athleticism who way more than excelled. Give me a guy who understands the game and has great vision at the point over an Uber athlete who doesn't any day of the week.
Steve Kerr, Mark Price, Mark Jackson, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge, Doc Rivers... guys who understand the game and get guys the ball in the right time and place without turning it over have/will always have a place on a team. All the moreso if they can knock down outside shots and FTs consistently. I'm excited about Cupps and think many on here are underselling him. I thought the question about how someone felt about Jordan Hulls was interesting, but I'm guessing people were more excited about him just because he was an IN guy. I think Cupps is going to be a very good player for us.
Hulls was slower and less athletic..
Well he's not a shooter like that.
I don't know. Whenever I watch his highlights, he scores in the flow and doesn't seem afraid to take a shot... and oh yeah, he always seems to get the win in the end! He may not be able to beat Jordan in a game of Horse, but I don't think he's a slouch as a shooter and I think he's bigger, quicker, can do more and more athletic than Jordan.
why do people always compare white players to other white players? couldn't he remind you of Jamal Meeks
I guess you haven’t taken a shower with the ball team, or you would know why!
I would assume lucy is pasty looking with brown bags under her eyes, and wears a dress that could be confused for a night gown.
Honestly, I didn’t know till two months ago. It doesn’t change my opinion about his shooting.
The thing that really strikes me in the video is that Cupps makes every single shot he takes. Having a 100% shooter is really going to help us on the perimeter.I was trolling youtube videos this morning when I couldn't sleep and saw this. Every time I see Cupps, I think he looks really solid. I'm excited to see him don the cream and crimson!
I don't know what that video was even from, but every time I see him, I just like how he plays. I think lots of folks are writing him off on here and I think he's going to be a great 4 year player for us. Probably as a backup maybe his first year or 2, but unless we have a super talented guy in front of him (yes, I'm counting JHS as long as he's here) I think he'll be quite capable of starting and running a team. Done it throughout his HS and AAU career with great results.
I was just kidding and agree with you (I was just being a sarcastic smarta$$ in regards to highlight videos in general. Wasn’t targeting you or Cupps). He is very fundamentally sound, obviously has “bought into” IU in a huge way, is a winner and I’m glad he is coming.
