For everyone bashing the Big East

Of course, Holloway could leave.


Redford is very unathletic and poor on defense. Will love to see who he guards when he plays against UC next year.

And Robinson looks lost any time he plays against a good team. Watching him play in the Crosstown shootout this past year was embarrassing. He didn't know what was going on.

.

Redford is unathletic, but I think he will be a good help next year, with TU and Lyons driving ability, players can't leave Redford, which should open up the lane more for those two.

Robinson did look lost a lot I agree, he had some real good games, and some real bad games. We'll see what he brings next year, he has some potential.

He's a streaky shooter but his ability to create in traffic, get to the basket and find his team mates is exceptional.

To hell with length and quickness. Too many professional sports franchises get caught up in a numbers crunch and looking for a 'profile' rather than looking for a player. Tu Holloway is a player. If he works on his shot some in the off season I see absolutely no reason why he should not be drafted. Now- I said should not, not would not. But If I'm an NBA GM I'd give that kid a long look for sure.

Ugh I can't believe I just defended Xavier's star player. I feel dirty.

I'm part of the group that says I can't see him playing in the NBA. His size is killer, and while there are people that are his size in the NBA, they are also much faster, or are much better passers. The only semi-comparison I've heard is Jameer Nelson, and I think Nelson is just a lot thicker and a better all around PG. I would be shocked if he played in the NBA, but wouldn't be shocked if he left and just went the Europe route if he didn't get drafted.

There is a reason why that stuff matters psax. Its the cold hard truth. Tu's biggest strength is his ability to get fouled at the college level. His ability to do so will decrease dramatically wthout said length and quickness.

Nelson can stroke it too. And is a little quicker in my opinion. Holloway isn't all that good of a shooter.

Definitely. But the better the competiton, the less valuable that is in my opinion, and the more exposed his defense will be.

For example, with UC 2 years ago you could hide him against Dion Dixon or Larry Davis. I'm not sure who you hide him against. We'll have to see how the UC freshman look, but no way he guards Shaq Thomas or Jermaine Sanders.

Yeah I agree with this. I also agree with what you said about how he gets his points in college, he isn't quick enough to get to the lane/draw fouls in the NBA.

Personally I could care less.

Personally I could care less.

I'm confused, is this a Xavier forum?
