The OP was stating a fact. Why can't a poster post an honest observation on this forum? Cause it could negatively affect how he plays, and negatively affect how our team does as a result. Our players read this forum. If that is the case, I hope that Kell didn't tape the broadcast the other night against Wyoming. Coach Knight ripped him a new one for fouling a three-point shooter. He was merciless on camera in front of a much larger audience. So I guess we should be careful not to hurt anyone's feelings here at AztecMesa.

Really aztec10? I doubt the players read the crap we write. But if they do, and IF they are affected negatively, then they should be benched. Top tier players aren't driven down because of "words". I choose to rarely comment on a particular player, but this OP has every right to bring up the topic and he certainly wasn't beating up on Shrigley. Life is tough, and these players---as does everyone else-- need to start learning that sooner rather than later. You do realize that they are 18-22 year olds, right? Again, where would you get the idea that any of them read this? Second, we were discussing Shrigley, yes? And third, I stand by my statement. Now, is as good as anytime, to start deal with life. They're out of high school. Everyone is now their age, or older. And if they hadn't gotten their heads handed to them---on many occasions--by their prior coaches, they wouldn't have made it here in the first place. Are we cool?

It doesn't matter who starts IMO, we are a very deep team and we need to just run teams out the gym. We played 10 today and Coach has a lot of weapons to use and he is developing a good rhythm right now. Every single player has a glaring opportunity and we just need to keep getting better.

I don't think the OP was saying anything disparaging about Shrigley. Not out of line at all.

Agreed, however IMO DA should be on the court whenever the opposing teams best perimeter player is in the game.

The issue isn't whether Fish should continue to use all ten. The issue is distribution of minutes and it's obvious a couple changes are in order on that.

Life is tough, and these players---as does everyone else-- need to start learning that sooner rather than later. Players, coaches, admins, parents, etc. at SDSU apparently DO read this crap and Twitter. Sure, they should have thicker skin and be able to take it, as they are in the general public. Just as we should all have thicker skin if someone jumps on us here. If you want to be a douche, be a douche.

But high school seems to be taking you longer to shake off, yes?

The Aztecs do not care who starts, they want to be there at the finish.

I've never been on the Shrigley bandwagon. And neither have I been much on the D. Allen bandwagon. Both have flaws. Shrigs can bang down threes in streaks. But then he falls into a hole from which he can't seem to extricate himself. See the 0-16 trey streak he went through last year. And the numerous 1-10 streaks he's gone through this year. Maddening. Having said that, I think his all-around game is better than most people think. He's a good ball handler, plays smart, hustles and has a nice drive to the lane. The knock I've had on D. Allen has been that he shows flashes, but never seems to put it all together. And he has at least one or two bonehead plays whenever he's on the court. HOWEVER … I've been very impressed with his play over the past few weeks. It seems like it's starting to click. His defense is lights out. He hustles every second he's on the court. He lays out and sacrifices his body, no questions asked. And he's athletic as h*ll. Furthermore, he seems to have really cut down on his stupid fouls and turnovers. So, yeah, I'm in the camp that says DA has earned more minutes than Shrigs.

I'd vote for Dakarai to start over Shrigley too. Shrigley is a good spark off the bench.

Shrigley is WCAC material, as is the san francisco transfer UNLV point guard, who helped SDS win today. Shrigley could not guard him, much less the athletic UNLV players

Shrigley actually made a move toward the basket today which was encouraging.
I agree with the OP at this point though. Dakari has played his way on to the starting 5. Which is incredible because I saw more than a few posters, before the season started, saying he should transfer. He finishes so well around the rim.

We're winning, when you have something working you stick to it. DA is bringing fire and passion off the bench, I don't see a reason why we should change that. Shrigley is our best spot up shooter and he add's spacing on the floor for our starters. Unfortunately he's been kind of cold these past few games but a starting line up with Dakari, Winston, JJ and Spencer give absolutely no outside shooting. We just need Shrigley to shoot with more confidence.
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!!!

I am totally impressed with that young man, what character he has displayed. He didn't play much last season and was a bit forgotten but OMG what he has done with his opportunities this season. GO DA!

Shrigley's FG% for the season is 28.2%. Chol is 61.2%.

Is Shrigley that young??....he looks like he's about 35.

MS ,on the positive side is fantastic this year 100 % FT . 4 for 4 . in 12 games in 234 minutes about 1 every 59 minutes he plays . ( Zabo has 16 FT 's). He is averaging almost 20 minutes a game .So that is 1 every 3 games but do not remember any in Conference play.
Staying in a positive mood . Allen , Kell , Pope deserve an opportunity to further show how they can contribute , even Williams and Zabo . There should be a warmer welcome to those guys who have traveled here from other cities rather then just favor the local hero from LCC - . the other reserves deserve an opportunity, game should be on your production and future ability to help the team . We are not a good shooting team - so please limit players that can only shoot ( 23% on threes ) there are guys Allen , Pope, Kell, Williams that can take it to the basket and SCORE .or creatre shots , or draw fouls . they also play defense against guys that can move , not the Slow Poke players from Wyoming or AFA .
