Petteway's Play This Year

Recommended Posts



My thing in regards to TP, and maybe others as well, is as good as he is for scoring 20 a game his play is more often or not responsible for at least giving back 15 or so points. From terrible passes, to moping over not getting a call and failingto get back on defense to lazily checking out on the defensive boards to lackluster defense. All those ugly phases of his game made appearances yesterday and throughout the year. His rebounding numbers may be up this year but for him to only have 2 yesterday is a joke, especially after Walt gets tossed and knowing NU would be needing extra help on the glass.

 

I'm not trying an anyway say he isn't good, but believe he could bring so much more to this team.

He's the basketball version of Taylor Martinez. Lots of numbers. Lots of flash. Carries the team. The team goes as he goes. But for every 3 things he does that makes you go "wow", he has that one thing he does that makes you go

Bad analogy, T-magic had much more of a supporting cast. Petteway is asked to carry the team, because there is no one else. The 2 man offensive weave between him & Shields kills me. Hell, Benny does not even bring the ball up on a press and he is our pg.

It's actually a very good analogy.

 

Who's this supporting cast for Martinez you speak of? The shortcomings of his have always been lack of oline, lack of defense, lack of coaching, etc.

Bell, Enumwa, Reed, Helu, Rex, Ameer. Yet he had as many carries as our NFL caliber backs. It was about T-magic being a ball hog. Pettewey is forced into, due to lack of cast. Plus, his numbers in RB, A, Steals, ect have all gone up this year in his actual 2nd year of college ball.

I like Terran a lot and am also critical of Terran a lot.

 

 

He's got all the talent in the world but he just won't allow himself to be coached on IQ. The Baylor tourney game last year was the perfect example. The way you beat a zone is by driving into the lane. His greatest strength is driving to the basket. So he picks the most boneheaded time in his career to completely stop trying and resign himself to shooting jumpshots.
