11 PAGES OF AIR BALL LAYUPS

[Edited on February 5, 2011 at 7:02 PM. Reason : He is ready for the NBA because WWW says so.]

[Edited on February 5, 2011 at 7:03 PM. Reason : Going to go in and get his weak ass shit stuffed like Hickson last night.]

CJL sucks. I can't believe any NBA team would take him right now. He needs a lot of development.

2/5/2011 8:04:57 PM

yeah we aren't gonna lose anyone to the nba that could possibly come back next year....

You are a bad fan calling players out on TWW.

What are recruits going to think when they read that?

2/5/2011 9:53:03 PM

I dont understand not wanting to try at something you are good/ wanting to get a career in. I could care less if he hates the school, the student body is paying for you to be here and use us as a spring board to the NBA try a bit.

if my thread got deleted cause it was unsubstantiated, he should get suspended for that





ps if this is true credit fenway for the good information. id also like to add that it was brought up not as a solidified thing, but as something i'd heard. i know it was unsubstantiated and i phrased it that way!

saw CJ at the AMF on Buck Jones tonight. I think he bowled a 118, not real sure because he was over playing pool already so it might not have been his lane

2/6/2011 3:46:13 AM

Apparently this guy saw him there too

If they have the attitude that Leslie has shown so far hopefully they will stay the fuck away.

He was probably in a duke t-shirt too.

2/6/2011 9:49:55 AM

this is why i never put stock in "stars"

i can't help but wonder if a lot of these guys are wasting their career by choosing nc state.
wonder if they would be better developed somewhere else?

2/6/2011 10:19:56 AM

uhhh, the stars were pretty on-point w/ cjl. look back on the previous page to see his stats... not bad at all for a freshman averaging 23 mins. he's a freshman, and he makes stupid decisions.

2/6/2011 10:25:01 AM

I guess it shouldn't be that surprising that someone who commits, then de-commits, then re-commits is going to, obviously, have some commitment issues.

2/6/2011 10:29:20 AM

we'd probably be better off without 5* recruits, right guys?

2/6/2011 10:33:40 AM

What we need is a 5* coach

2/6/2011 10:42:18 AM

Give me the 1 and 2* guys all day long.

Give me a coach to coach em up!

lol

2/6/2011 10:48:20 AM

I just wanna win some fucking basketball games.

2/6/2011 11:20:38 AM

and i dont care how it happens anymore.

2/6/2011 12:13:24 PM

i wish john wall had played another season together so they could be team mates. this kid is a fucking joke.

the only one on the floor with any heart is ScotT FUCKING Wood.

2/6/2011 12:15:35 PM

CJ Leslie: 5 star athlete, 3 star talent, -30 star basketball IQ

Yes and no. There are time where Wood half-asses it. The announcers even called him out yesterday during a loose ball scramble where wood just bent over to get the ball instead of going to the floor and of course it got knocked away to Duke. Wood does show more effort than most these guys but sometimes I still scratch my head.

Lo Brown is probably my favorite player thus far, seeming to give 100% most of the time. If we had 5 of him on the floor, I feel like we might have a shot.

That's because he listens to eminem before the games.

that wasnt wood

2/6/2011 12:47:59 PM

I think that was actually a good play by Brown, and poor play from Duke since it look like their "hustle" kept us from turning the ball over with a backcourt violation.

Don't take Len Elmore and Mike Patrick too seriously when they "call out" anyone.

[Edited on February 6, 2011 at 1:13 PM. Reason : .]

2/6/2011 1:13:19 PM

^That's exactly what I thought. At first I was wondering what the hell Zo was doing...but it would have been a backcourt violation if he picked it up. Instead the Duke player dove for it and knocked it out.

it was wood. he's not talking about the one in the backcourt. he's talking about the one after a shot, after an attempted rebound, and the ball was on the floor. scott bent at the hips, while the duke player was on the floor. i believe it ended up being a jump ball and duke's possession.

There was another play earlier with wood. It resulted in a held ball iirc.

2/6/2011 4:10:23 PM

Lo Brown is showing lots of potential in situations where most guys on our team seem to be frustrated or already checked out...

I'm not saying run the offense through him, but he is showing heart and a Hell of quick first step from the top of the key. In the Carolina debacle, he was taking it to the hole and finishing almost effortlessly. Lowe should really find a way to get him more touches and get other guys involved, or at least to feed off his game. Seems like he really could be a huge building block. He is the only player I have confidence in at this point. He seems to have character and a natural feel of how to help the team get out of those slumps we seem to hit every game.

Get him the ball more. Immediately. Please.

2/7/2011 11:16:57 PM

I'm sure most of you know this by now, but I didn't see any closure to the whole CJL may be out for the season (suspended) talk earlier. It appears it was just one game, and he'll be back against WFU. (yay a win?)

I'm not sure why, but Harrow seem to take an inordinate amount of shots compared to 1's on other teams. He shoots on nearly 27% of the possessions he is involved in. And the worst part, is that he is a terrible shooter. 40% and 22% from 3 and taking a quarter of our shots? Yeah, that's a recipe for a lot of losses.

He needs to reign it in and take a look over at Kendall Marshall and learn how to run an offense.

^ yes, I saw that. It is good news. We need CJL to be back next year...

[Edited on February 8, 2011 at 8:52 AM. Reason : so all the clowns calling for CJL's head can back off now.]

ah yes. it's really interesting how every white ncsu player is the one with the heart.

brackman, mccauley, wood. . .

2/8/2011 9:28:33 AM

Gainey had more heart than all the above. Combined.

2/8/2011 9:33:00 AM

Point blank.

2/8/2011 9:35:27 AM

Hodge makes all those guys look like statues.

2/8/2011 9:46:29 AM

Just saw him on my way to Talley and holy shit, I have never seen someone look so downtrodden.

2/8/2011 11:09:07 AM

never? damn. i hope you gave him a pat on the back and told him to keep his chin up.

2/8/2011 11:15:41 AM

I'm 5'10", his chin was already up above my head.

2/8/2011 11:17:34 AM

i thought the emo fad was over

2/8/2011 11:32:59 AM

Yeah dude, if any of you see any of our basketball players out on the street, you need to do something to pick them up emotionally. Let him know we're behind him, and we want them to pick their asses up off the floor and win. We're tired of their ticky tack prima donna bullshit. WE WANT WINS!

Our coaching staff needs this guy:

2/8/2011 11:45:50 AM

we are in a world of shit.... hopefully we can climb out.

2/8/2011 12:48:25 PM

If leslie could just slap the floor a few times like hodge il l be happy.

Quote :

"Weaknesses: Leslie sometimes gets too carried away with his versatility, and tends to get a little out of control with the ball in his hands ... A little overconfident in his handle. Tries to do too much off the dribble at times, can be turnover prone ... He'll need to develop more of a consistent jump shot and add range to keep his defender honest, which will open up more opportunities for him in the faceup game as well ... Lacks fundamental footwork in the post... needs to improve touch around the hoop when not dunking, and should add some more post up moves to his repertoire ... It's been said that he lacks concentration and focus ... Wouldn't hurt to add more bulk to his frame ... A little bit of a tweener. Will need to decide on one of the two forward positions and work on becoming the best he can at that positio"

That just seems spot on to me.

2/16/2011 12:32:24 AM

Well, that is pretty thorough.

This has always impressed me about NBA players. After watching mostly college basketball, it's nice to see big men being able to hit open jumpers inside the arc. CJ seems out of sync when he's taking jump shots but there's no doubt he can develop a steadier rhythm with practice.

This is the most important and frustrating thing for me.
