I have zero respect for a lack of effort. A traffic cone would have given better effort on defense than Petrakis so the bar isn't set very high. And his screens were half ass as well. I would point it out to Broomhilda and even she saw it. That stuff is contagious so I'm hoping I won't be watching that crap this winter. I think Lieb will play hard.

The cone might have been a better scorer, too.

Interesting that Lieb's official signing lists him as a forward and not a center

More often than not it’s just G or F

Yeah I see he was listed as a C on the Illinois roster. Maybe this is how he schemes his way to justify shooting threes?

Probably true, I'd also say he likely "changed" positions as a way to get pro scouts to look at him differently. As a C, you are expected to post up all the time and bang around in there, as a F you are "allowed" to drift out and shoot 3's more. Just makes me wonder what Pedon will do with him in his offense, if we'll see him act like the post Pedon wants to run his offense through or if we see a continuation of what we saw last year, scheme wise.

Schmidt is listed as an F. No matter what the F anyone may think, Schmidt in no way resembles an F. So I'm going to go out on a lieb and say C's are not in the current vernacular.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

My mother-in-law always said I was an F.

 

[MadBird]

I know a DIII school that lists players as W (wing), P (post) and G (guard).

Does your brother have any other insight he could have on him such as defense, passing ability, etc.?

He better shoot at least 80% from the line to fit in
