Yeah, the first game he played in a new country with teammates he’d had 3 practices with? Yeah. You guys with Barnes inferiority complex get me.

So in general you think behind the back passes are high percentage moves?

Sometimes they are. I was simply responding to the comment that Santi has more athletic skill that he shows. People like you have to turn everything that might insinuate that Barnes has a strict way of coaching (he does) into Barnes bashing.

Of Manu Ginobili? I was just looking at some old NBA replays and they are quite similar. Ginobili was 3 inches taller and is from Argentina which is literally right next to the smaller Uruguay. Both are good shooters and sneaky good help defenders. Both have hairlines mature beyond their years.

Some may disagree, but 3 inches is massive.

Why the need to project on me as someone who thinks Barnes does no wrong? I’m pretty consistent at writing what I mean. You said Vescovi was a more fluid player with behind the back moves and passes. I pointed out that the AAU / playground play against quality defensive teams in the sec leads to a lot of turnovers. Any decent SEC coach would have taught Vescovi to be more careful with the ball.

Once again, my comment was directed at Vescovi’s athleticism and how he’s more athletic than many give him credit for because of the style he plays in this system. In other programs where the pace of play is faster, you could see him do more things.

You’re either a Barnes apologist or a Vescovi hater with your comments, especially remembering his 9 TOs in his first game as a freshman without recalling the 6 3s he had as PG. I’d say his first game was better than any of his teammates first game as a freshman.

You obviously don’t follow this board closely as I’ve been possibly the biggest Vescovi cheerleader here for the past 4 years. Also, I like Barnes but he needs no apologists as his results are all the support he needs. Anybody that’s a long time VOLS fan who’s not on the Barnes bandwagon needs their head examined!

I wrote 3 times in the post it wasn’t a criticism of Barnes then you go and criticize Vescovi. Talk about heads that need examined, start with yours!
