He is called Jayden Numb because he lulls guys to sleep with his hesitation moves.EvilTroyAndAbed said:
Is Jayden Numb his nickname?
Kill our offense? You do know that Nunn shot an elite 44% from 3 last year, right? And a palatable 45% from the field overall. Your dislike of Nunn is not grounded in statistical reality. Health permitting, Nunn and Love should both continue getting the 25-28 minutes they averaged for us last year. My only concerns for both lie on the defensive end but I think Nunn has potential to be decent if he puts in the work this offseason.IvanBear said:
Love deserves to start over Nunn, he's just clearly the better player. I know that may be awkward for Nunn, but I will lose my mind if i have to watch another season where we keep throwing out guys in the starting lineup who kill our offense.
We got sooo stagnant when Love was no longer an option. I know we're a lot better off in other areas this year to hopefully prevent that, but Nunn was still a major factor in that or rather he was rarely a factor.
I know people loved Love as the sixth man but it's hard to imagine last year Nunn holds on to that starter spot if Love doesn't get injured. Those dreadful 5 minute stretches without a field goal didn't happen with Love on the court over Nunn and waiting for a timeout to get him in would have been a mistake.

I think Wright might slip into the roll of guard offense off the bench. If so, then I would definitely start Love over Nunn.

Ivan's hate boner for Nunn is very strange. Jayden was far from the problem with our team last year, once we got into the heart of conference play.
I'm looking forward to seeing what improvements he's made in his first full off-season in our program.
I bet he gets more. We do not have many big guys. They will need a rest.Big12Fan2024 said:
Asemota will get about as much playing time this year as Little did last year unless he packs on about 15 lbs of solid muscle over the summer. He is thin as a rail and avoids contact at all cost against bigger dudes. He will be one of those guys who develops into a nice player over his time here but he's no Day 1 guy.
I fullly agree with the first part. I do NOT think Wright will be strictly a backup to Roach. Their minutes will mostly be staggered but I also think they will get a lot of run together. CSD has always liked playing multiple combo guards at the same time. That said, Nunn and Love will still get their 25-28 minutes and I don't think Wright's role will affect which of them starts or comes off the bench.BUCANDOIT82 said:

I was with you all the way until the Sawyer Robertson pass. That was the Offensive Coordinator's fault for not telling him to eat the ball and punt if it wasn't there. Not to mention never calling that play in that situation with that quarterback in the first place. It was brutal.DallasBear9902 said:Mitch Henessey said:

Nunn is a rosarch test. Offensive stats were solid, but too much dribbling that interrupted the flow of the offense. Basketball is a game of momentary advantages and in the amount of time it took him to dribble assessing any situation, weakside windows closed for teammates. He sort of reminds me of Akinjo and Curtis Jerrels in his over dribbling.
The step back three against KSU at the end of regulation just tells you a lot about a player. Last year Sawyer Robertson threw the most brutal back breaking interception I've seen in a long time against Utah. Tied game. Deep in his own territory. Late in the 4th. 3rd and 16. Pass rush in his face. Falling backwards, tries to jam it over the middle into triple coverage. Just a brutally bad play. I think the step back 3 against KSU may have been worse situational awareness.
Jayden Nunn is a shooting guard. Complaining that he doesn't possess skills for a position he doesn't play is ... odd.BUCANDOIT82 said:I was with you all the way until the Sawyer Robertson pass.

Back to Nunn. He can't pass. He doesn't have the court vision. You can't coach it. A player is born with it, or they're not.
I've never not seen him considered a combo guard, he was recruited as such. That means he should have the passing skills and court vision.bear2be2 said:Jayden Nunn is a shooting guard.

Jayden Nunn has never been a point guard. He wasn't one at VCU and he's not one at Baylor. He can handle the ball in short spurts, but we didn't recruit a guy who averaged less than two assists per game in almost 30 minutes per contest at VCU thinking he would be a point guard for us.IvanBear said:I've never not seen him considered a combo guard, he was recruited as such.
