At Illinois kid was a killer. Now season is over I wonder if we are going to hear about an injury he has been fighting all year. Just wondering.

That’s a mediocre eFG%. Crazy that we’re considering a 3-8 game or whatever Adam shot as good.

I don’t shite on every other player. I think Hill and Justice Williams were obviously not SEC point guards to begin with but that’s it. The offense we run is trash and made our guards look worse than they were. Miller had a poor shooting year but again in a terrible setup. On top of that our guys are poorly coached on the most fundamental level.

Coming off an ACL, never got to see him last season. Did see some from him at Illinois, not the best but improvable. To judge him now is really a weird space IMO. Transfer, ACL, new coach.

Let me rephrase that. Kid held his own.

You have to put Millers season into context. We played 5 guards heavy minutes who all had distinctly different skill sets yet our coach couldn’t find a way for any of them to be efficient or successful. We can’t keep deflecting blame to players in every possible situation while ignoring the one common thread through all of this.

Everyone on this team has gotten their fair share of criticism. The issue with Adam is when you have all the casuals who only know of him from how highly the media and WW spoke of him when you underperform you’re going to get the worst of it.
I think it is extremely fair to criticize him, like every player and member of the basketball staff. Defending him and creating all these exceptions is nothing but coping.

The praise from Wade was pre-injury and he didn’t get to play for Wade. I’m fairly certain you would’ve seen a much different result if that same coach were still here.

Adam was given plenty of opportunities to succeed and largely failed. I’m not upset about obvious bad scheming or bad coaching. What upsets me is taking low IQ contested jumpers from 3 and midrange with plenty of time left on the clock, ample turnovers, and missing wide open catch and shoot threes.
I don’t care how bad of a coach CMM is and how shite our scheme is, missing wide open is inexcusable

In practice.

That’s coaching, what you allow you promote. Again we played 5 guards and a total of 7 perimeter players during the year so anytime a player was doing something the coach didn’t like he could’ve easily sat his arse. A- none of them were coached not to play that way. B- a lot of the bad shots we took this year were due to late clock situations from a bad offensive design or bad shots from players being put in bad position.

“In practice”
Again, pre injury and he never played for the guy. You seem to want to select certain facts that fit a narrative instead of looking at them all.

I feel like this implies something. Perhaps maybe the talent on the roster wasn't as good as predicted? I bet CMM would have gladly set Miller's arse on the bench but who would take his spot? Our guards are abysmal. I'm tired of this "we were a bubble team" bullshite that gets spewed. This team sucks from a combination of poor coaching AND sub par players. TBH, KJ is the only player who is a starter in the SEC caliber.
News flash: you can be PREDICTED to be better than you actually end up being because your players aren't as good as they were PREDICTED to be. Go figure. I do think we could be ever so slightly better with better coaching but our players are also not good.
And again, I'm aware of the bad offensive sets draining the clock but this team also took a lot of bad shots early in the shot clock.

When you have so many moving parts, which Coach Mc is excused for, then why have a guy coming off an ACL and never played a minute at LSU in regulation prior to that injury all of a sudden be the dire of the fanbase.
Adam could be a shell of himself, jacking up bricks, etc. Then coach needs to be better. And that's where the problem lies IMO.

No I'm looking at all the facts. The fact is that Adam was doing tremendous in PRACTICE. You do not know whether or not this would have continued into the season. He could have played amazing or he could have been bad.
Yes I know he never played for Wade! That's why I'm saying that you can't say he was going to be good! You don't fricking know. What I'm judging him on is what I saw at Illinois and what I'm seeing for LSU this year. IN A GAME, NOT IN PRACTICE.

That doesn’t make sense because like I said we had 4 other guards and 2 more perimeter players who saw a lot of minutes this season. The excuse that we just happened to be the only team where everybody was overrated also makes no sense. Again every of the many problems get deflected to the players while the common thread through all of it gets a pass. It just doesn’t wash, it can’t always be everybody else’s fault and the whole world was wrong so that coach Mac can be absolved.

Perfect example was him not playing Phillips tonight after what he did in the second half last night. That kind of thing went on all year in literally every game to some degree. The guy is in so far over his head I feel sorry for him.
