I love these comments from Frank Martin.

It's no secret that Ole Miss is sucking it up right now. Henderson is well on everyone's radar and I just thought it was interesting to see how much in depth Martin went on gameplanning for this team and kid. I think he finished with 11 points. Pressuring the guard to keep him away from making that baseline pass as routine as they have been doing is brilliant. You would think Andy Kennedy would be smart enough to pass in the paint to kick it to Henderson but he's not.

“Then with Marshall Henderson, scouting reports are pretty detailed now. If you allow him to catch the ball and pivot on his left foot toward the basket, just put the points up. He ain’t missing that shot. But if you make him catch, turn and then face, he doesn’t shoot at as high a clip. If you make him run the other way and pivot on the right foot, he doesn’t shoot it at such a high clip. We tried to put him in those other situations, rather than allowing him to pivot on his left foot.”


“We were pressuring the ball to get (Ole Miss) closer to the half-court line, which then keeps the ball away from the baseline where they put (Henderson) in so much action. Now it makes it long passes, which gives your defenders a chance to be there on the catch (when Henderson caught the ball).”

I agree 100%. I like CCM but If I could have picked a coach to have that was realistic, he would have been it. I love how fired up he gets and hope he does good things there.

Henderson is done. Anybody can lead the conference in scoring if you jack it up 25 times per game at a blistering 37% make percentage, with no coach to tell you to pass the ball.

was pissed when we chased him running from behind picks both games. Should've played him on the high side and forced him to the baselines, which would have meant ball denial on the wing pass and a long arm up on his shooting hand side.

This is the difference between a great player or a scorer and a great shooter. Lofton could still get his even if he was the center of defense's attention. I am not sure Henderson can adjust.

Lofton was surrounded by a lot more talent than the talent that surrounds Henderson.

Lofton's first two years were with C.J. Watson; Lofton's next two years were with a much improved JaJuan Smith and Wayne Chism (and, don't forget Duke Crews, who was solid); and, Lofton's senior season was with Tyler Smith.

Henderson does not have near the company that Lofton did.

That's true, but he got the same treatment that Henderson is getting. Lofton was almost always the primary target of the defense.

I think the big difference between Lofton and Henderson, other than character, is Lofton's actual mechanics. His inherent fade away gave him the ability to drain over players who would just stuff Henderson.

What it really boils down to, though, is that in Lofton's worst year (the cancer treatment year), he played roughly 200 minutes more than Marshall Henderson has played so far this season. Henderson has already shot more threes than Lofton, while making fewer. That people would try to put both names in the same category is ridiculous.

M Henderson was just a one trick pony. He has done his best work for the most part against medicore teams. You could even argue his best 3 games were against UT *2 and Vandy. In 2/3 games he had to shoot a million shots to get those points. You could grab any of Jordymacs recent games and the production % has been far more impressive.

Henderson is just another one of these bipolarish goofballs nowadays who gets too high when things are going well and is nowhere to be found when they arent.
