Boozer?

JVB didn't start or play nearly the same amount that Lucca did. JVB rode the pine a good amount at parts during the season cause his defense and rebounding were non-existent, but then he caught fire with his shooting for a few games. But good try.
I think mpls is just a hawk lover who pretends to be a cyclone fan. And who whoever said all the expletives about McD, stay classy my friend
Vanderbeken shot a higher percentage. Saying who's a better 3 point shooter isn't really an opinion. It's a fact. You just look up the stats and find out....
I don't know what went on in practices, but when Boozer went into the games I saw, he hustled, he crashed the boards, and he was about the closest thing ISU had last year (besides Brackins) to a physical Big-12 caliber physique. Given the disaster that was last year, how a coach cannot find more than 8 min/game for somebody like that is beyond me.
How do you know he isn't appreciated? FFS.
Its obvious you don't like Gmac so I'm not going to bother. Transfers happen all over because players dont get minutes. I'll wish Boozer the best of luck if he does leave, but until then he's still a cyclone.
My name isn't shanequa!
Why do you think he was made to feel unappreciated? And who wasn't putting an effort out there last year?
One of the things that was just so sad about last year is that you really felt that the team wanted to win. I saw a lot of hustle from everyone last year.
You would think people who post here do because half of them think they can do a better job then the coaches. :wink:

Vanderbeken shot 86 3 pointers in 469 minutes
Lucca shot 192 3 pointers in 768 minutes
If we extrapolated Vanderbeken's attempts in the same number of minutes, it'd be 140 attempts.
If you take attempts/minute type of a stat, it's not wildly off. It's not like Vanderbeken only shot 10 3s the whole year and made 4....
I like Boozer and understand he is a fan favorite, but people need to calm down. IF, and its a big if, he is leaving...we are losing a guy that plays 8 minutes per game and scores 2.5 and rebounds 1.6. Yes he hustled and definitely helps the team but please don't act like the sky is falling because we are losing the 8th or 9th guy off the bench.

One of Coach K's unspoken leadership secrets is anonymous Internet posting? :wink:
And if you have JVB play 300 more minutes I don't believe he could shoot as solid as he did when he was in great shooting form. He would have cooled off eventually, or gone in spurts like Lucca did.
