Why Barnes!?!?!

No, you repeatedly claimed he didn't deserve the minutes (which are minimal, so I don't get that argument) because he's not rebounding like he was so highly claimed for (which based on his minutes played is better than Fulkerson, as multiple people claimed with data).

Now were people, myself included, hoping he would've been making an even bigger contribution? Absolutely. But you're acting like he's given all these minutes when he's averaging fewer than 10.

He has earned zero minutes. He is NOT playing better than Fulkerson.

Look man, I’m just frustrated because all I was trying to establish is some rational conversation. Trust me, during this political season I know all about trying to have rational conversations with irrational people. The fact that you don’t think that I can listen and think rationally is extremely disappointing.
I went back and looked at all of the post players that Barnes had brought in over the last eight years and it looks like the only two players that panned out at all with Grant Williams and Kyle Alexander. There are literally 12 other examples of post players who have not panned out. I’m not gonna insult your intelligence by making you look at a list of all of those. I think that we all can agree that there is an issue, and a pattern, with Barnes post player recruiting. I think we all had high expectations for what we had coming back, paired with our incoming guards. It just seems like Anosike is the odd man out compared everyone else that was brought in. As you know, a true dominant post player can make a huge difference and it seems like that’s the only piece this team is lacking.
Watching him play is very frustrating because he does not do anything great. He barely does one thing good. He just really stands out on this team, not in a good way.

It’s absolutely an issue. Anosike would be fine if he were the fourth or fifth post option. He’s the 3rd. He’s undersized and not very athletic.

A quality post player. Too bad Barnes hasn’t recruited one.

That's a worthless answer, given there's nothing that can be done about that right now. If Anosike doesn't deserve the "staggering" 5 minutes, who on this roster would you use to give Fulkerson a break?

That’s EXACTLY my point. We have not recruited ANYONE worthy of giving fulky a break. You disagree. That is 💯 my point!!!!

Well, I don't believe Anosike has had 3 TOs in a 5 minute showing, so he's at least got that on Fulkerson.

And no, that's not me saying he's better than Fulkerson, so don't even attempt to go there.

If we're talking this game (which I know you won't stay with given you couldn't even look at the Florida game by itself) , you think a guy with 5 turnovers in the first 12 mins of the game is deserving?

ABSOLUTELY. Because he doesn’t do that every single game. I’m sure you were not complaining about it when he hit six threes the other night.

As I said, you can't stick to just one game.

And by the way, I'm talking Fulkerson. What game do you think he hit 6 3s in a game?

What!?! Go read your post. You are whining about fulky. THIS POST IS ABOUT ANOSIKE NOT DESERVING AN SEC SCHOLARSHIP. and there are MANY more Barnes post players that don’t deserve one either.

I read my post fine. Why the hell would I compare Anosike to Vescovi? You're the one that went that route.

Like any fan base, we have our share of idiots. The season is a marathon and an understanding of the game as such is imperative to maintain a healthy perspective
