He has immense physical gifts but seems to love roaming around the perimeter thinking hes Magic Johnson. He doesnt use his phyisicality at all and he disappears way more than he should.
Am I wrong?
Also---Juwan McCloud hasn't been what you guys had hoped right? I admit--I thought he would be a stud in this league.
Yes. Klint has had stretches where he is the best player on the floor (NCAA Tournament two years ago, Oklahoma last year) and then stretches where he is either absent or a liability. In the end, there is a reason he was a 4 for 5. If he had the mentality to be a dominant player, he wouldn't be in The Valley. Combine him with not always engaged Bennett Koch and you've got two guys who should be the best frontcourt in the Valley but can't consistently put it together.
Juwan, I've been enocuraged by his growth this year. He's shot the ball much, much better. He's become a very good defender. He falls in love with the dribble and becomes a black hole at times. I've not given up yet but you aren't incorrect in that he's been a bit of a disappointment.
The other one that is really discouraging to most of us at UNI is Luke McDonnell. He was really well thought of coming out of Dubuque, Evan Flood called him the steal of the class and that he'd have a chance to be an All Big Ten Forward at Wisconsin and he can't even get on the floor...
