UE- Ryan Sawvell

[sixth ace]

As was shown last night Blake is at the 3spot, small forward/guard. Wing has been getting the start and Sawvell was the sub at the 4/5. I highly doubt that Blake will move to the 4 or 5 spots. Blake and Sawvell haven't been in competition for time at the same position yet this year. This is a Coach Alexander deal.

With the goal of playing more of an inside-outside game in the Aces’ motion offense, Sawvell said he had been told he needed to improve his 3-point shooting and ball-handling. But the message didn’t quite sink in last summer, Sawvell admits,

“It’s not that I didn’t take it seriously, but maybe I just didn’t know certain things to work on in specific areas,” Sawvell said. “They said shooting and dribbling, and I’d go on the gun (basketball’s version of a pitching machine), dribble the ball a few times and shoot. This was an article taken from this summer with Sawvell admiting that he hadn't put in the work to improve in the areas the coaches wanted him to. The global sports academy team was not an impressive group of players and if typical of most tours playing against weak competition. I have nothing against Sawvell or Marty, I feel like he could have helped this season, but I know this, if he were as good as you make him out to be or good as he thought he was he would have been a starter last year even before Blake came in, so if he wants to be a starter and the go to guy he needs to play division 2. Also, this teams defense will get better as the year goes along just like all of Marty's teams have.

Sensible. Coaches like to keep their jobs and to that end don't keep all-conference players on the bench. But they do keep average players on the bench. I do remember the same E-crowd crying that senior Matt Peeler didn't get much playing time when Sawvell was working on his all-freshman team year at the center position. I'm still scratching my head over that armchair coaching. But it will always be true that if you never watch a single practice, everyone on the bench looks amazing and mistreated.

We may not see practice but it wasa easy to see Sawvell was way better in the games than junior, I can't believe you have the nerve to speak so quickly after that performance by junior last night.

Way better, don't see it that way after 8 games look at these stats- Blake 7 3 pointers Sawvell 0 for career, Blake 4 blocks Sawvell 2 blocks all of last year and 7 games this year, Blake 13 assists Sawvell 17 last year and this year total so I guess if you like a guy that thinks a dunk is the most impressive shot Sawvell is your guy.

Sorry, I don't base my opinions about players on single games.

Some people see what they believe. The incoherent Sawvell fans have never really made the case that he is great. The best they can do is say that he hasn't been given the chance to prove he's great. His actual stats show mediocrity. Either he gets a dunk off a great assist or he disappears. In two full years, I'm not sure he ever created a shot for himself. If he did, it was by accident. His shot chart is full of misses beyond 5 feet. He did pull down his share of rebounds but that is because he is 6-8 and always near the basket. If he played Blake's position further out on the floor his rebounding would be as pathetic as his scoring.

I do have to wonder if Sawvell's irrational fan club let him down. I wonder if they convinced him that he was Kobe Bryant with a bad coach. Players would be well advised to never read fan boards populated by amateur NBA scouts and armchair coaches. It'll get you nowhere except maybe to a D2 school coached by your best friend.

Just like in everything else you would be wrong. I'm guessing your name is Simmons.
