First you don't like his rebounding. Now you say he's good at it. Kind of tough to keep up with your changing story.

I don't like his rebounding. But his numbers don't lie.
He's bad at everything else.
@Mav, I got your stats for you. ESPN has a stat callled RP40, or rebounds per 40 minutes played.
B1G:
Swanigan, Purdue, 15.8
Trevor Thompson, OSU, 15.8
Mike Watkins, Penn St, 13.9
Ethan Happ, Wisconsin, 13.0
Nick Ward, MSU, 12.9
Jordan Murphy, Minnesota, 12.7
Ed Morrow, Nebraska, 12.7
He is tied for 6th. So his "big improvement" you were talking about when looking at per minute stats isn't real. #FakeNews
I mean, anyone with any sense of reality wouldn't be trying to wave off someone who's around the Top 10 in a Power 5 conference in several categories as average. So I don't have much hope for this conversation.
You've convinced yourself that because he doesn't get assists and he occasionally fights with a teammate for a rebound that he's bad. You try to dismiss his rebounding but when you're finally backed yourself into a corner from which you cannot escape you try to act like you were a fan of it all the time.
He's #8 in the conference in rebounds per game. He's t-7 in the conference in rebounds per 40 minutes.
He's #1 in the conference in offensive rebounds per game.
He's t-12 in the conference in blocks per game despite being an undersized PF that is forced to play C a lot and almost everyone ahead of him on that list are taller than him, most by 3-4 inches.
He's #15 in the conference in field goal percentage.
Other than the assists, what other categories are you wanting him to be better at so that he wouldn't be "bad at everything else"?

Well this statement is ridiculous. If the roster were constructed better and Ed could play in more of a complimentary role next to a true center then he has double double written all over him. Instead he has to log minutes as an undersized center that usually results in him getting in early foul trouble. He gets a ton of hustle fouls unlike our guards(Watson) who pick up lazy reaching fouls 30 feet from the basket. Give him a respectable center to play next to most of the game as opposed to him and Jordy having to play on opposite substitutions and he will flourish. As for his assist numbers, assists are fluky. Also, our iso pick and pop game we run with him and Tai or Watson doesn't really put him in position to get assists.

if you are comparing spades to spades why are you talking about a pf/c not getting enough assists? which positions would you expect to be getting assists? 1 or 2 or 3s.Atbone95 said:
assists require another person doing their job and making the basket. if he is passing to guards and wings who are just flat out missing their shots how the f#*k is he going to get an assist? now if you want to go and break down every nebraska game then give us a percentage of how many times the ball goes into morrow and never comes back out, how many assists were missed, dribbled, or passed to another player knock yourself out. assists are hard to come by unless everyone is on the same page and from what i saw of the nebraska offense, bitty ball has better offensive sets.
as to the point of morrow stealing boards from teammates, i guess that would make rodman, and most rebounders, a selfish player. and if he is "ripping balls from teammates hands" maybe they should work on their communication so they know they arent fighting each other for the ball.
i have no idea what morrow has done to you but you are going about the argument of saying he is a bad player entirely wrong. the stats you are using to justify your position just dont paint the picture you want.

It's not. It's not at all.
Ed is a role player, like Taylor, McVeigh, and Jacobsen. Deal with it.

Would you all think less of me if I said I hadn't heard of Ed Morrow until yesterday?
I lost the will to watch Nebrasketball after Lue's days. I watched every televised game from 1992ish until then. Followed the Clippers a little to see how Piatkowski was doing and watched Lue play for the Lakers.
