Why did Maymon not play against UCONN??

[OaklandTnVol]

your talking about Maymon not being athletic to catch, pass or shoot. i think your misunderstanding your thinking about Fields all he can do is dunk and Steven, well they don't even guard him

He blocks a few shots too.

As much as his dad and him complained at Marquette about him playing out of position ,I find it funny he is not playing at all. Like I said the VOLS were lights out till he became eligible and Pearl complained for a week about it

Bingo!

Like I said in another thread. Maymon may bolt after this season. I'm sure it's not working out like he wanted. Maybe a D-II school will be his home soon.

Dbl-Bingo!!

I'm guessing we'll see Maymon back here in Wi at a D-II school before his college career is over.

Have the coaches made any public statement as to why Maymon hasn't seen the floor in the past three games?

That not necessarily a good thing when he's shooting up airballs and bricks from under the rim...

And yet 56% from the field. (Though, the free throw shooting IS inexcusable.)

I just think you have to play Maymon over Steven "The Beak" Pearl no matter what. Steven has no potential and nobody wants to let him touch the ball on offense. He just stands by himself. Its 4 on 5.

He contributes and doesn't cost UT one cent in scholarship money, you pathetic antisemite.

This -- he could definately help imo -- he is young, he is relatively quick on his feet - the best rebounder on the team -- based on rebounds per minutes played and brings as much energy as Pearl. He had one poor game, doesn't handle the ball well and hasn't shot free throws well. Pearl doesn't handle the ball well and doesn't shoot free throws well either. As a sophomore he has a lot of upside and of course Pearl has no upside.

I've learned that you can't quote that kind of stat (reb/min) on this board. Even something like: Maymon 14.1/ 40 minutes; Pearl 3.8/ 40 minutes, prompts the "intangibles" argument (you know, the ability to shove some guy 25 ft from the basket and the failure to ever help out on the weak side), disregarding that the best teams have the best tangibles before intangibles ever come into play. (Also, don't point out that rebounding totals say as much about how hard a guy works on the floor as about his skills.)

Anyone who thinks we are BETTER team with S Pearl on the court is "severaly mentally challenged" in the sports category. SP does not make this team better; the last two games he has not hurt the team like he typically does. S Pearl sucks whomever thinks he is good just don't know what good is.

:lame:

Let me, a Marquette fan, offer a little insight on Maymon. I appreciated what he could contribute as a freshman, namely, strength on the boards, albeit without much follow-up ability on the offensive end in terms of put-backs. Some of you also recognize and appreciate the relatively limited skills he has.

You folks clearly have an issue with Pearl vs Maymon, but I'd suggest to you that this will not be an issue for long. Why? Maymon's father simply will not tolerate his son's benching, and, in fact, had demanded that Marquette run their entire offense through the kid, who the father sees as a sure thing NBA shooting guard.

Maymon will be gone, transferred, after this semester. I'm not sure what his bailout team is, but I'm thinking maybe mid-major or even non-Division I.

Good luck. Seems like a good, but limited skills kid, with a father who is destined to ruin his kid's education and basketball opportunities.

This jives with what I've heard. Won't be surprised at all if Maymon is gone at the end of the year.

It would be tough for him to have to sit out another full year. He will likely get plenty of playing time next year as we apparently aren't going to sign any post players this year. I don't see him leaving.

Maymon can't seem to grasp offensive/ defensive assignments... which compared to the rest of our team is incredible. He also does not seem to be under control at any point when he receives the ball.
