Khadeem Lattin

I love Lattin I was just pointing out 2 or 3 real big plays that hurt us...He had a great game and is going to be very special for us I believe.

Why be negative? I get that you like Lattin but that doesn't address the issue of why you feel a need to be negative while praising him.

If he sticks around, he may join his grandfather in having a championship ring. I love good shot-blockers and rebounders. Scoring is a pleasant afterthought if you can control the lane.

Yep, and I feel like his offensive game is just on the verge of being a real weapon. I bet the coaches and players would tell you he's starting to hit those 12-15 foot jumpers with regularity in practice. It's just a matter of getting the confidence to make them in games. If/when this part of his game develops, he'll be an all conference level player.

I guess I wasn't trying to be negative.. Criticism,,Pointing out some good and some bad or bad luck that happened with him I guess. There's so many ups and downs in a basketball game its crazy. I couldn't sit down the whole game.

Thought he played great,,,But he didn't block out up 2..There was like a minute left or something at that point. Real big mistake that led directly to Woodard getting his 4th. Then Woodard fouled out shortly. He missed the game winning free throw as well. Took a bad jump shot or two late in the game. Love what he has become just saying he had a few real bad moments too.

Find one player who didn't have a couple bad moments. Hield had some turnovers. Ellis missed a bunch of shots. These guys are human, for crying out loud. Your expectations are too high if you're going to nitpick about 1 play here or there. Lattin is just a sophomore and was fantastic last night, notwithstanding 2 or 3 plays over the course of 55 minutes.

I have a serious man crush on Lattin - love the way he protected the rim last night, it's been so long since we had a guy like him. If he keeps improving we have a chance to seriously make some noise this year.
