wiuhusker Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Good read there. Didn't realize that Pettaway was that highly thought of as an NBA player. Should he return our lineup is looking damn good going forward. Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's hard keeping guys around these days when they project anywhere in the draft let alone first round (even if it's late first round). I hope Miles can keep him around but it's kind of cool seeing a guy project that well. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 A guy should be pretty sure he's a first-round pick if he's going to declare for the draft. Second round picks are not guaranteed contracts and there's a lot of competition out there. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Opps. I misspelled his name in the title. Should be Petteway. Unsure how to correct it. Surely a guy with that kind of potential deserves to have his name spelled correctly. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 This would really suck if he leaves after this year. Hopefully, he looks 45 miles down the road to see what coming back to school can do for a very good player. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Petteway wont leave after this year... No concerns there. If he has aspirations for the NBA, he will need to prove his skill in front of a national audience. He is a good player, but isnt the pure scorer that he will need to be to make it in the NBA, but i think he is well on his way. If we can find a guard that can distribute the ball, that will allow him to become even more dangerous... As the offense evolves, his ability to show his skills will as well. I love the future for Petteway Quote Link to comment
Huskball Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 He does have tremendous upside! I think he knows that he needs to get better at being the "guy" even with defenses keying on you. He also has to be improve his mindset and body language when things aren't going smoothly - In his last game he had 5 points, 4 turnovers and seemed "checked out". Quote Link to comment

I love the future for Petteway Would love to get another Tyronn Lue in the mix. It would open up things for those like Terran Petteway Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It would also help to have a healthy Shields and if Smith could improve on the inside. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Good read, hoping he can become what we need him to be! Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It would also help to have a healthy Shields and if Smith could improve on the inside. THIS.. Shields has been quiet and scared to attack the rim.. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He's nowhere near ready. He has nba potential but second time through the league I think he gets exposed. It doesn't help that this team is giving him zero in the help department. Shields has regressed. Where did his attitude and aggression go. He's playing timid and unsure. Too much pass then stand and wait for someone else to do something. Pettaway is getting the ball at the end of the shot clock and everyone is standing waiting for him to finish. Their inept offense has bled into their defense. And these problems are magnified 10 fold on the road. Quote Link to comment
