If Ben doesn’t chuck threes and actually attacks the glass and guards and plays his role …
Won’t hear much from me this year …
He starts chucking crap shots … Doesn’t rebound and gets abused defensively …
I’ll be right here saying his
needs to sit …Joel Goodson
- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
greater than 50 or bring out the pitchforks
He's as high of a character guy as there is. You'd always like to see guys like him win at a high level, but sometimes it takes being a little bit of an a$$hole and having a big ego to succeed at this level.
Seeing as he didn't surpass 21 points in a game last year, I've gotta find a pitchfork fast
His role is to take (and make) open threes. And do his best on the glass and on defense.If Ben doesn’t chuck threes and actually attacks the glass and guards and plays his role …

been stockpiling them
Same! My comp is Draymond Green he reminds me so much of his game (so far).
Can you spell that again? Gonna take a minute.
Doubt it…. got lucky this time! If I try again I might step on my_________!
Looser morals when it came to recruiting would have helped. No denying he is an incredibly talented X and O's guy.
How a 6'9 dude can play 20+ minutes and not record a rebound is beyond me.It won’t be Ben’s play that brings out the pitchforks.
It will be watching Mirk and Wagler minutes limited because BU loves Ben.
Dub dub for Mirk tonight.
Too big of a stage to have a "cardio" game, especially with Z and Mirk fighting for minutes at the 4.
O/U 20 minutes a game for Ben this season?
Give me the under.
There is no way Ben starts. I just can't see it after last year.
If I had to guess
Wagler
Kylan
Andrej
Mirk
Tomi
Big Z first off bench along with Ben

Was curious which game he did not record a rebound in?
102-67. I think they show out tonight.
As much as I like Wagler's potential, I can't see him starting at PG over Petro. Once Petro is fully healthy.
This is fair. I think Ben's success is tethered to how many shots he makes inside the arc...If Ben doesn’t chuck threes and actually attacks the glass and guards and plays his role …

Never recorded 0, but did only record 1 rebound 6 separate times against Bama, Wisky, Tenn, Mizzou, Duke, and Purdue. Those are massive games where you'd hope a guy playing 20+ minutes (which he did in every single one of those games) would crash the boards better. And look, I'm not a Ben basher, but the stats aren't what you want or need against high-level competition.
Ok, so what he said never happened, gotcha
Serious note, I get it... 3.8 rebounds in 25 mpg... he's quite a bit stronger this year, so we'll just have to see
I'll be excited if Stoyakovic puts up a "25 spot" in minutes played. No way am I expecting that, however.
