We need him to lock up Buddy Hield Saturday. That dude is unreal.

He averages 25.7 ppg.

Quarterman reminds me of a right handed Jalen Rose lacking consistency.

. And he averages as many TO's as Tim.


they have the same amount of TO's on the season, 31.

Quarterman has played in 190 more minutes of basketball than Gray.

Noticed the same thing. When he has a big game, we win.

He is. Needs to find the medium between facilitating and knowing when to take over (like Saturday)

The two guys that matter most are Simmons and Victor because our backup big guys are really bad.



This.

When Victor is in foul trouble, our team is fricked with a capital F.

True Dat! He basically took over down the stretch (last 2 min.) and was in the right place at the right time. Here are some more "keys" down the stretch: EVERYONE has to play at their highest level!

The Tigers are very well designed to compete against any type of opponent. Gray can be effective, Malone can be useful, and Bridgewater/Epps, etc. can ALL be dominant for a few minute stretches of any 40 min. game.
That's encouraging when you get to the tournament b/c of matchups.

Bottom line is no team/player can defend Simmons one-on-one when the game is on the line. In conclusion yes Quarterman is our 2nd best player when he is on but everyone on the roster needs tobe ready to contribute and stay focused. That's all from Coach "Daddy" Dale Brown.

There was an earlier Thread about Quarterman compared to B.Harris in the the thought that when both are On, they're really good and there full potential is reached. But when they're are OFF, they look very bad...

With that being said, we need Quarterman to definitely stay on the good side

Naw. It's Victor. All day it's Victor.
How people figure in as "keys":

Simmons- obviously he must do his thing. It's all irrelevant if he's not.
Victor- he has to approach a double-double. With him, it's like a football passing offense, and he's the threat of a running game to keep the defense honest.
Quarterman- he's the X-factor. If Simmons and Victor are on, Quarterman gives you the chance to win ANY game.

The rest are 1 dimensional role players that can be plugged in as needed. That includes Hornsby (shooter) Blakeney (scorer) and Gray (quick guard).

I do think most of the better performances we've had are when he shows up big. Getting him to show up consistently has seemingly been a chore though.

Just from watching body language and things such as that, looks like maybe there could be some Alpha stuff going on between he and Simmons? Maybe not, but kinda reads that way sometimes watching the games.

He can blanket the best player on defense


Listen I love Tim even back when everyone hated him as a freshmen. When he is on, Tim is explosive and fun to watch on the offensive end. However, he leaves a lot to be desired on the defensive end. His off ball defense is really bad mostly because he likes to ball watch in an attempt for steals. On ball he gives up more dribble penetration than anyone of our guards. A lot of that has to do with matchups, he usually faces smaller and quicker guys than him.

Listen, I love Tim but he is by no means a blanket on the defensive end. He is high risk high reward player on both sides of the ball and when he is on it is fun to watch but when he is off... man its tough.
