As much as I like Cubby, he is not a driving threat like DJ. I really got to believe Acker will be on the order or Cubby, just to tiny to be taken as a serious driving threat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-36423809953090209592007-06-07T14:51:00.000-05:002007-06-07T14:51:00.000-05:00I already viewed him as a slightly disruptive pres...I already viewed him as a slightly disruptive presence. Seems to me that when he's playing well and getting (and making) shots, all is well. If he's not getting his shots -- even in a one-sided rout in MU's favor -- there is a lot of hand-holding and consoling required. I believe MU's PR guys point ESPN guys in DJ's direction for this very reason. That's why you see cameras following him into the arena. <BR/><BR/>For somebody who is not necessarily a dominant force on the court, he sure demands a lot of attention. That's why I tend to agree with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-46383508138488875652007-06-07T13:46:00.000-05:002007-06-07T13:46:00.000-05:00I don't think he is that good.

He can't shoot from the floor, and is awful from the line. I hope he goes, I really do..not because I want him to fail, but rather because I don't want him around anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-11344984982188540742007-06-07T13:07:00.000-05:002007-06-07T13:07:00.000-05:00you guys leave no stone unturned in covering Marqu...you guys leave no stone unturned in covering Marquette basketball!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10389503.post-12624979984130653622007-06-07T12:40:00.000-05:002007-06-07T12:40:00.000-05:00Thanks for the post.

The one thing I will dispute is his rating as a basketball player. I would say he's only an average player, with fantastic athletic ability. We've seen our share of "good" basketball players recently at MU. Can anybody honestly say James is a better "basketball player" than C. Henry, Wardle, Hutch, Key, even Blankson? I certainly don't think so. In fact, at this point I think McNeal and Matthews have better basketball instincts than he does. There is something that seems really amiss here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
