And Im not hating on Golden. I just like Barton much better on the defensive end, and good 3pt shooter.

I'm not either. I think we need a true PG and that's what Barton is. Not great at anything, but darn good at numerous things.

Golden could be what I would almost call an elite scorer at times. Then turn right around and score 2 points in games necessary for tourney play. Plus outside of scoring and FTs I felt Golden was in some ways a liability. We didn't need him to score as much as we needed a facilitator. Barton seems more content with the classic 10pt 6 assist game which IMO is perfect for the current roster.

Oh and let's not forget that in an end of the game or shot clock moment, Golden is the worst I've ever seen.....ever

Is there any doubt Richardson is the most improved this year so far?

He's improved every season he's been here. Love that dude's game.

That midrange jumper will be huge if he continues to hit it.

 

[YankeeVol]

During the first 7 minutes of this game, I was going to make a comment about how the game hasn't dragged on like a lot of games this season.

Then the last 13 minutes of the half happened.

He's changing the lineup. We're up big

J Rich reminds me of maybe late So. year Oladipo....

I love watching guys who can knock those down consistently.

Hey Vol Historians what former point guard of the past that we have had is comparable to Barton?

 

[OrangeBalls]

7-14 from the FT line.

 

[YankeeVol]

Gotta make the free ones

 

[volger]

Go Vols.

How this only has 4 likes tells me all I need to know about bball fans. :whistling:

 

[Amsterdam]

Great game so far, but too many missed free throws.

 

[SeanJean]

J Rich reminds me of maybe late So. year Oladipo....

That's a really interesting comparison. It'd be amazing if he progresses to that level.

 

[Freak]

Hey look, a foul.

 

[SJAVol32]

These free throws smh

 

[JonWard]

Bald ref is a douche.. Bumped into Thompson and being a real douche breaking up vols in lane

 

[YankeeVol]

45-28 Vols at the half

 

[OrangeBalls]

Citadel was called for 13 fouls and UT 11.

I know. I was talking about the actual amount of time that has elapsed. It took nearly an hour to play 20 minutes of basketball.

 

[Freak]

Whose giant head is that kid holding up? It's driving me nuts.

 

[SeanJean]

The free throw shooting and turnovers are still really troubling. This Citadel team is a hot pile of garbage.

 

[SJAVol32]

That's a really interesting comparison. It'd be amazing if he progresses to that level.

That's what I've been comparing him to. It's just the way he's developed. Oladipo had more natural skill as a freshman and J.Rich was a better shooter as a freshman. As they've gone on you can tell the improvements.
