DSE development

[Da Coach]

How quick we forget-
Jeremy Crouch's freshman stats from 2004-2005:
Started 24 of 28 games, played 26.6 mpg, 8.3 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.8 apg, 46 for 125 (36.8%) from three

You could argue that Sam Maniscalco's freshman season was better, averaging 7.7 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds.

Statisically agree. Plus, they both have lion hearts when it comes to winning and being confident with the rock in the closing moments of a tight game. I give the nod to DSE though because of his size and therefore the perceived future upside to go with his 1st year accomplishments ... I am biased toward taller players.

2-0 with DSE replacing Brown in the starting lineup. I like Brown's jump shot a little better but I think DSE and SM's speed is causing some problems for the opposition. If this lineup can win at Creight on Saturday, then i'm thinkin big things down in STL.

JC had a great freshman year but I think DSE is more multi-functional than JC was as a freshman ... and shows more leadership than JC did. Of course DSE's leadership displays might be more due to a bit of leadership void on this year's team than the team JC was on as a freshman.

DSE's demeanor goes beyond any perceived void of leadership shown on this team. SM right now is the team's leader but DSE is also a natural leader. You just see it in the way he carries himself. I have the feeling he has high expectations for himself and will work towards making himself the best player he can be. One thing I noticed was after the IndSu loss was that he looked pissed and disgusted. He wants to win and is a winner. Traits you cannot teach. You either have that hunger or you do not. There is a reason that HS players are being scouted during practice now. During games it is easier to get up and play hard especially if someone is checking you out but to do it in practice!

You said it. Sometimes i wish i would see that more. Like the team is really upset when they blow a 10+ point lead. It really shows an intensity and a desire to win. Of course don't get out of control, no need to be throwing chairs or anything.

+ 44 the band? LOLOLOLOLOL if so...

how many people see DSE play around the conference and think he is a JUCO or a Junior finally cracking some PT? I bet a lot!

Will DSE be on the MVC All-Freshman team?

I'm thinking:
Colt Ryan (EU)
Seth VanDeest (DU)
Jackie Carmichael (ISU red)
DSE (BU)
Gene Teague (SIU)

I think it's a lock.

[BradleyBrave]

I agree. Lock!

Plus we're 2-0 with him in the starting lineup!

What? Impossible? Everybody knows we have to go "BIG." to win games.

True, and I am an advocate of that to a degree. But I am also an advocate of playing your best 5 guys and/or playing the 5 guys that fit together the best. TB is definitely one of the best 5, but sometimes it seems like the offense flows better with DSE in as the 4th guard. I don't know what it is, maybe there aren't enough shots to go around when TB/AW/SM are all in together? I know it's a VERY small sample size, but things have flowed better with DSE getting 20+ minutes a game.

All that said, it won't bother me if TB goes back into the starting lineup.

BB, I was being facetious towards those posters who want us to GO BIG.
I don't have a dog in this fight. Just WIN baby, BIG or small.

Grassman - since you were practically the first one to discover both Chris Roberts and DSE - don't you agree there's at least an equal importance in heart and hustle as in size??



ps-- actually it was me who "discovered" Dyricus and passed the info on the the people who mattered...)

I think I would keep him in there. It makes sense to keep it going.
