Brackins

Another ho hum game for Craig, 19 and 12 but I did notice a few things tonight. His defense was pretty bad tonight, letting Baylor drive to the hoop off of the pick and roles. That led to a number of easy baskets for them. Defense has been a big knock on him by scouts and it showed tonight.

I am not trying to nitpick and I love how we played tonight but I am just really trying to find reasons why he could stay next year :smile:. It could be very fun with him around one more year.

He had some nice dunks. That one handed oop was sweeeeet!

MOD: What happened to my CB thread?

In the first half all of his points were on dunks or free throws, those are both pretty high percentage shots.

I deleted it, as it was unnecessary. We already have a Brackins thread, and you stated you just did it to rile people up.

Will be a Cyclone next year. We all really hope.

OK :wink:

It is a good thing that he had a ho hum game tonight. NBA scouts in attendance hopefully feel he needs another year and he did enough to get us a W.

I sure hope he is. We are bound to catch a break.

5 for 5 on dunks including a couple highlight reels.

2 for 11 on all his other shots. That's been CB's problem for his whole career. People think he's got a jump shot. Yes, he can get hot here and there, but he's still not a good shooter. His shooting has gotten better than last year though. His rebounding is 3X better.

I wouldn't say he gets hot once in awhile i would say he is good shooter that had an off night. He has shot well all year...

Eh, big men like him need to be shooting above 50% most of the time. He was only shooting 47% before this game. Brackins should really work on his post up moves, he could really get a lot easier shots closer to the basket, instead of those fade away's he always shoots.

Hes not really a big man he is a hybrid forward.

It's a lot harder to post up when you're being doubled all the time.
