Derrick

Derrick is 0-9 from the field in the past 2 games. Guess those 25,000 shot this summer did not help much.

Congratulations. This is the 25,000th joke about that.

He probably just gets tired of the constant degrading of one of our players and a great representative of MU.

He also had two steals, four assists, and a rebound. More importantly, he hit 3 of 4 free throws near the end of the game, when MU was really struggling to score. If Derrick was sulking on the sideline, I could see a post like this. Instead, Derrick kept his head in the game despite sitting most of the first half. While yesterday wasn't his greatest game, he came off the bench in the second half to provide some desperately-needed rest for the guys getting the bulk of the minutes.

No one has ever doubted/questioned that Derrick is a class act, team player and great representative of the University. That however, has nothing to do with his on the court play.

Nukem isn't one of the anti-Derrick zealots. He was just talking about his shooting - not his overall contributions.

I for one am glad that his minutes were reduced.

He busted his ass all summer to improve; now fans see fit to throw it back in his face by mocking how many shots he took. It's unnecessary.

Was simply noting the lack of improvement in his shooting as 0-9 over two games is rather noteworthy. . Unfortunate after all that hard work this past summer. Surely, his other contributions are appreciated. Shooting is just not one of them and Wojo has taken notice as his PT is decreasing and he is being subbed defense/offense in crunch time due to his poor FT shooting ( though he did nicely last night in that regard.... ).

Agreed. Thought the original post was a bit of a low blow.
