re: Keith Hornsby respect

Hes streaky but if anyone is chunking 3s up on this team I want it to be him.

But right now he's a liability, he turns it over a ton and shoots 90% of the time he touches it even when he is open. His shot is real flat which means he's a very streaky shooter, but even when he's off he shoots a lot of low percentage I'll advised shots

This is what annoys me. People come out of nowhere in basketball. People thought the team would be good so they jumped on board...2 losses and everybody sucks...huge win and they're back on board saying stupid STUPID shite.

How does he turn it over too much? We had 24 tonight and he had 2. He's averaging less than 2 turnovers a game. He's shooting 35% from 3, it'll probably end up being around 38%, and 42% overall. He's getting better the more comfortable the team gets. Also, ugly form, but he does not shoot a flat shot...I honestly don't know where you get that.

I guess also we're just not talking about how he gets more than 5 rebounds a game, averages over 2 assists, and has nearly 2 steals a game. Naaa we don't wanna bring facts in here, we just wanna shite on him because he's a white guy with an ugly shot. There's no reason to hate on Hornsby AT ALL

you said it very well LSUbutt.

It seems, for whatever reason, when Hornsby is on the court, this team plays a little bit better.

the dude definitly has an ugly shot, but it is successful and any shooting coach will tell a player to go with what works.

im not talking bad about gray because i like him a lot and love what he brings to the table but hornsby plays better D and takes care of the ball a little more conservatively than gray./

FACT: He has the best vertical jump on the team. I would estimate it to be around 38 to 42 inches. He also has the ugliest shot on the team and when he isn't making them, he looks confused to the average fan.

I can't wait for the Hornsby highlight montage set to Mandolin Rain.

Keith Hornsby = TPOS

No doubt he a (high motor white guy). Will be staple in the lineup for next two years.

I am coming around on Hornsby. His shot is so ugly that I have to remind myself not to judge whether he can shoot on just a few misses. If he had a prettier shot with more orthodox form, I would not have judged so much.

One thing I really liked - even though he had a number of them rim out - was that he seemed more willing to pull up and shoot a short J on the blowby rather than always going to the rack. I think he is realizing that against top teams, he is going to struggle to finish and the little pull-up - with him a big often running at him - opens up excellent offensive rebounding possibilities.
