Topic:  Would like to see Stevie start at PG next season... Author Message Jmorgo_Cat2011 General User Member Since: 3/22/2013 Post Count: 3 Status: Offline     Would like to see Stevie start at PG next season...    Posted: 3/22/2013 11:38:27 AM  Am I the only one here who would like to see Stevie win the starting PG spot next season? I know JC has brought in a transfer who is getting some good pub but in my personal opinion I think Stevie has made huge strides this season and will be even better as a junior next season. I guess I'm bias to those who come in as bobcats as freshmen and enjoy watching them develop and get their shot to lead our team.

After seeing Steive improve this year, it Willis beats him out, it just means that we have 2 guys that we can trust at the position, which is never a bad thing.

I agree with this as well.  However, I am not sure that Willis has proven to be much more of a scorer than Stevie.  Willis averaged 8 ppg last year as a soph in 30 mpg.  Stevie averaged 3 ppg this year in 10 mpg.  Willis shot 33% from 3 while Stevie shot 37.5% from 3. I think the bigger factor will be which player shows a better control and ability to set up the offense.  Back to Top perimeterpost General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 3,165 Status: Offline     RE: Would like to see Stevie start at PG next season...    Posted: 3/22/2013 1:23:26 PM  I do not want Stevie to start next year because he is a likable kid and is somehow owed it. The only way Stevie, or any player, should start is if they have proven to be the best option for the team to win games. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

Well, how much does he need to prove with the game winner against Kent and bringing the team back to beat Miami?  Plus, he did a great job against W Mich at Cleveland.  He has made tremendous strides to become a starter.  I agree, he needs to start.  I don't know much about this "Bean" kid but, I've seen Stevie and he has come a good way since he stepped onto the floor last year.  I think Stevie should start due to the fact that he has started to control his play.  When Stevie was at the one and DJ at the two during the tournament, the Bobcats were hard to beat.   Back to Top Bobcatzblitz General User Member Since: 7/21/2010 Post Count: 1,739 Status: Offline     RE: Would like to see Stevie start at PG next season...    Posted: 3/22/2013 4:06:48 PM  Bean is the real deal.

No thanks, I want the best player to start. If we find out Jon Smith is a better PG than both then I would want him to start. It's not personal. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

To me, he never looked entirely comfortable running the show. Granted it's a small sample size. He had a ton of hype coming in and got to play behind the best point guard in OHIO history for 2 years. To me, he seemed to be a bit out of control too many times.  He really is going to have to take some giant steps next year to play 20-25 minutes on a consistent basis.  #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 10  of 10 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 284 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 284 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
