Roper should start at PG


Jan 31, 2015, 4:32 PM

Not convinced i see what rod hall brings to the table... PG without consistent shot, ability to dribble drive, or size to matchup on D

In general, any senior in any sport who isnt the teams top 10% talent should be reconsidered as starter

Jan 31, 2015, 5:29 PM

I have already proven that I know much more about Roper's background and how teams were recruiting him out of high school, than you do. The first part of your second sentence describes Hall more than Roper. He didn't do it all in high school. He only played point in high school. And I know how Coach Whipple at Irmo High School coaches (have seen his coaching style my whole life), he doesn't move players around to different positions unless they are truly capable of playing different positions.

Back to my original point, don't challenge a person who knows more about a certain play than you do.

Jan 31, 2015, 6:04 PM

obviously false suggestions that Jordan Roper is a point guard and Rod Hall is not. It has no basis in fact.

Jordan Roper played a great game today and showed why he can be our best shooting guard. Rod Hall played great defense on one of the best offensive players in the league while dishing out 6 assists and we won big, yet you thought it best to launch into a misplaced and totally incorrect criticism of Hall.

Admit your mistake and move on.

Jan 31, 2015, 6:09 PM

It's beyond a fact that he is a liability on offense. That's not a slam, but based on facts. You were still unable to answer my question as to how many times Hall has led us out of a scoring drought through distributing the ball and getting movement out of the offense? Just answer the question. Admit your mistake and move on. And stop attacking Clemson fans for enjoying a win and giving props to the MVP of the game.

Roper is a shooting guard. He is not a point guard.


Jan 31, 2015, 5:01 PM [ in reply to Roper will be much more consistent at PG, it's his natural.. ]

If you watch, you will notice that he seldom if ever goes to his right hand. He avoids it like the plague even when guys force him to his right. A point guard has to be good with both hands. As a result, he gets trapped a lot and he lacks the size to pass over it and the strength to step through it.

Plus, you really are dissing Rod, who is a very good point guard. As Roper, and hopefully others, open up the floor with the three point shot, you will see Rod get to the basket more and more, getting fouled often, with his superior strength. We haven't had a legitimate outside threat all season to open things up for Rod, until the last few games with Roper now stepping up in the shooting guard role. Today, Rod was counted on to expend too much energy on the defensive end to be a huge threat on the offensive end, though he did have 6 assists.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not dissing Rod Hall, I was pointing out his weaknesses


Jan 31, 2015, 5:13 PM

on offense. If Rod Hall is so great offensively at PG, why does he rarely have assists. When we have our scoring droughts does Rod Hall ever bring us out of them by distributing the ball and getting movement on offense? No. One of the main reasons we have long scoring droughts is Hall's inability to get assists and get movement out of the offense. Rod Hall plays hard and is great defensive player, but he is a huge liability as far as running the offense from the PG position. If you can't see that you don't know basketball.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Imagine Coach Brownell on the other side of your argument.


Jan 31, 2015, 5:17 PM

Which is where he sits given that he plays Roper at the shooting guard spot and not the point.
