Andrew Warren

Warren will be fine. He does occasionally force up some shots but if he didn't shoot, then people would whine that he disappeared on the offense. He also may be conserving himself on the offensive end since he has to play nearly the whole game. He'll be just fine.

AW can seem to disappear, but like someone here said, there is a lot more to the game that you won't see if you just follow the ball. I still believe AW is super talented with a lot of room to grow. I still have high expectations for him to be a "star."

While I think that AW had a good 2nd half......to say that BUfan9 is ripping AW...WOW have to say that some on here have a thin skin. Just because you score points does not mean that you are a great player. There is so much more that goes into a team sport than scoring! I give AW a lot of credit from battling back from his injury. But he does disappear for stretches of the game and as some have said, every player goes through this, no doubt. A poster pointing this out is not ripping on a player. Ripping a guy would be saying he fades or doesn't show up and he actually is there all the time! Even Dave made a point of saying to AW that he must have thought the game started at 2:05 instead of 1:05!!!! Guess Dave Snell was ripping on him!

bigdaddy....its not just this thread....and not just this game and not just this player....a few choose to actually rip into players and make downright mean posts when it certainly is not needed...he IS ripping into him by what he says...to say he dissapears at times..ok i can see that as not ripping...but it has gone further than that....

remember what JJ Taui went threw with these guys... that was pathetic....and so it continues...on and on and on....

Andrew Warren is FIFTEEN games into the Misssouri Valley Conference season...and almost 30 games into the season...
and guess who is...
-3rd in scoring (and also 3rd overall with the guys ahead of him having played way softer non-con opponents)
-among the leaders even in rebounding (15th)
-#1 in FT%
-3rd in 3ptFG%
-4th in 3ptFG made (all games)

You don't do this stuff with smoke and mirrors....Andrew Warren is one of the best 5-6 players in the entire league and has been fairly consistent outside of a couple of mildly off-games...
I agree with coachdude, the criticism is bizarre and is just inappropriate..

Lemme tell you where we'd be had AW not made a great recovery from his injury...
we'd probably be battling SIU for like 8-9th place..
It'd be nice if a few folks acknowledged their stupidity in criticizing Andrew...

When AW is playing up to his abilities he is Bradley's best player. Bradley needs him to play and play well. When he doesn't play well or if he were benched, Bradley will struggle. Who is sitting on Bradley's bench waiting to take his minutes and out perform him? And yes, the harsh over the top criticism of him, SS, and some other players is out of line. Discussing their game is fair, yelling insults at them is not.

I agree that some on here have ripped players. There have been many posters on here who have repeatedly ripped EM any time more playing time was suggested. Especially at the beginning of the season when SM was struggling, due to injury, and some suggested that EM get more minutes. The number of posters on here who ripped EM for every little mistake he made was ridiculous.

I have no problem with a poster commenting on a players poor performance, just don't have to get nasty about it. As for AW, like I said even Coach B and Dave called him out about his first half effort yesterday. So I think people can say he did not have a good game. A good 2nd half yes.
