    I would like to have a signed statement from Ian that you are accurate. How you believe that a player who has been working with the team from July to April takes frequent plays off during a game is a big stretch. I am certain that you have these powers of observation that can be documented over the past 2 seasons to verify this young man is lazy. We can look for a blown assignments, but that in itself will not verify the lazy. I would strongly suggest your contentions of Ian are more biased than accurate.

      My guess is if he takes plays off (you call it lazy) TJ won't have him in the lineup very long.
      And I don't think that Nagy would have had him in the starting line-up if that was the case either.

        You won't get an argument from me. Ian has some positive attributes and he will fit into his role but I think it will be a limited this year.

        Things will be much different then the Nagy years. TJ made that pretty clear. There will be more 3/4 and full court pressure using zones and traps and less man-to-man defense. Jacks are going to push the ball and look for the first open, high percentage shot which is often a 3 in an offense like TJ has planned.

        At least that's what I've gathered from talking briefly with him. Time will tell.

          Ian played 17.3 minutes for 34 games in 2015-16. 6 players averaged more minutes with the next guy ahead of him was Mike Daum with 20.8 minutes. The next guy behind him was Tevin King with 14.3 minutes. Ian will be fine in his role much like last year.

            I can not believe that we are talking about a certain player being lazy. How old are these kids? Could they legally drink at your precious tailgate?

              What does their age have to do with it? A young man can be a lazy player just as much as an old player can. I'm not saying he is or isn't, but to act like being 20-21 means it's not allowed to be called lazy is ridiculous.

                Is Ian even healthy? I don't recall seeing him in Zim's periscope video and he was wearing a boot at the fb game...

                  Is this required to have an opinion about someone?

                    If I only had the wisdom of 27, I would not make statements like this. I think those who think Ian is lazy should check out some gear show Ian how is really done. You guys got the get go so go and show him how!!

                      Unless you are the coach, I dont think you meet the requirement of charging a player with laziness.

                        Why does everything come back to drinking and tailgating with you. We get it you don't like drinking and your not a fan of the tailgate situation, you dont have to remind us all the time especially in a thread that has nothing to do with either one.

                          If only I had the wisdom of old age, then I could only read what I want to read and put words into people's mouths. I specifically said I'm not saying whether or not he is lazy. So I will ask again, but I'll make sure to try to make this clearer for you since apparently I wasn't clear enough before.

                          I AM NOT COMMENTING ON IAN. However, what does someone's age have to do with whether or not they are capable of being lazy? I mean, I'm only 27 and all, so I clearly have no idea what it was like to be that age, but I do have recollections of myself being lazy in aspects of my life at the time. But obviously being only 27 and not a Titan of wisdom like others is the reason why I am asking the question, because my lack of years obviously obstructs my ability to have an understanding of subjects that require vast oceans of wisdom.

                              Really... Well we should just shut down the board then, because none of us are coaches, so we better not be making opinions about players.

                              I mean come on man, that's what this site is for, to express feelings and opinions on SDSU sports.

                              If you were telling me that you disagree and don't think he's lazy, that's one thing. But you and OldHare are telling me that I straight up can't have that opinion, rather than simply providing your own.

                                I'm guessing the people calling Ian lazy really have no clue the commitment and hard work it takes to play BB successfully at the DI level.
