In conference games, Abrahamson is shooting 35% on 2-pt attempts, 29% on 3-pt attempts and 50% from the line. His Kenpom offensive rating in MVC games is 78 (I've always considered 80 to kind of be the "Mendoza Line"). His defense is non-existent, he can't pass, he can't put the ball on the floor, and he shoots from his shoulder. I've never seen anybody get more shots blocked before they even leave his hand.

Once teams had the scouting report on him, he was extremely easy to defend.

Abrahamson is probably the most ridiculed player in the history of the MVC Fantasy league that I am in. Partially because of his drop off in conference play, but mainly because the person who drafted him refuses to give up on him.

Is Giacoletti that team owner? Drake fans are amazed at how much faith Giacoletti continues to have in Abrahamson, although he seems to finally be coming to the realization that Abrahamson is nowhere close to the player he thought he was.

Kale Airballhamson is the best player for opponents in MVFH. Easily the worst first round pick in the history of the league.

Yeah because Kale Airballhamson was averaging 22.7 fantasy points per game in the non con and I... I mean this guy in our league could have taken Brenton at 18.4 ppg in that round of the draft but he is an idiot.

Kale is garbage and since his 0 point performance last night ...this guy is out of the playoffs and has finally GIVEN UP on him.... I.. I mean this guy we know will probably be booing the s*** out of him Saturday night in Peoria.

Bulldogs played the last 10-12 minutes with only freshmen and sophomores on the court, and cut a 16 point lead down to 4-5 on a few occasions. DU got 25 points and 15 rebounds out of the center position.

But, in a move I've never seen before, Drake turned in the wrong starting line-up, and 2 seconds after the jump ball fouled intentionally to get the "right" line-up out there.

I think Giacoletti has finally figured out that Kale Abrahamson belongs at the end of the bench.



You have some nice young players that should be a handful next year.
