Itās the romanticism of the past. Like how old folks remember the glory days and forget all the bad small details. Or like how we are more critical of things currently happening under a microscope but when we recall things we tend to forgot a lot of the detials.
Also the natty moving Jerome into glory status, we think of him as a god when in reality people were calling for Nigel Johnson to start over him going into Sophomore year. (I was not one of those people. One of the few times I was in the right as I was calling for patience, just like I am now for Rohde who is still showing out. We clearly gain a lot more from Rohde gaining comfortableness in Tonyās eyes)
This is a strawman Fresh. None of that has anything to do with the argument you made about Jerome being an elite passer and Hooandtrue countering with better A:TO numbers from Rohde at this stage of their careers.
I forget what game it was but it was a game Leon played well and someone was like āLeon should play over Rohdeā and then a quick dive showed all of Leonās made buckets were assisted by Rohde lol.
Shouldāve specified that Iām talking about āat this stage of their careersā. A:TO in Rohdeās favor but just eye test tells me Rohde has insane vision. Heās got a worse supporting cast though so a lot of unfinished āassistsā.
People keep bringing up Jeromeās scoring which has nothing to do with the argument. Clearly heās a better scorer - Iām just talking about passing ability and vision.
Iād like to see a multi-game @Cuts_from_The_Corner deep dive on Taineās defense. Not every single play or anything, maybe just something that encapsulates the pros and cons.
Also this is fun. I think the original argument was Rohde 30 minutes or nah?
Now itās Rohde vs Jerome and within the contexts of their teams.
Jerome has that craftiness and how to use his body driving and getting people on their hips @DFresh11 would know more about that. Rohde showed some of that Villanova guard post up last year at his old school, but maybe he spends the spring living on @Marktykobe couch and playing pick up at the local parks with the 40 year old dudes who grab you shirt in transition to hold you back because they are too slow to get back on D
No one has to argue that Ty Jerome was an elite passer in college It is literally a fact. I could argue saying Rohde for example is on par to be Ty Jerome is not very likely
Nope - just saying canāt assume any pass to him thatās not an immediate dunk can be an assist.
I want him
To play more ā¦ will need him this year. Let alone next 3 years.
Rohde vs Ty debate is a giant waste of time. Different positions, teams, players. The relevant debate is Rohde vs. Taine or Bond, since sadly Ty isnāt around to take any minutes from Rohde.
Jerome was elite. But not perfect or inhumane/unachievable performances. That type of romanticism. Id argue Rohde has elite vision and his stats show that. If you want to argue about his shooting thatās a different argument. In the context of his heavy minutes, itās what Tony wants. Facilitators.
Confession to make. This is all because 70 years ago from 1989-1993 I should have gotten more minutes and now a D3 up n comer is getting them all dangit
