Ramey’s only real issue is he dribbles too much. That’s when he gets in trouble. Yes his shot selection could improve but that’s pretty much every player in a Shaka offense.

I'm actually OK with Ramey shooting 3 pointers when he's open and in the right spots.  its his dribble drive where I'm "uh oh".  he just isn't a very good a ball handler and doesn't really create separation.  He's a guard so he has to do it but it seems like its always an adventure.  to be fair to him none of our guards are what I would consider great ballhandlers.  Coleman is the best of the bunch IMO but even he has WTF moments.

Ramey did have a key/nice drive and dish to Sims down the stretch.

If he were more decisive and just a tad bit more athletic or a tad bit more savvy he'd basically be J'Covan Brown. There are times when he makes a slow probing drive and is on the cusp of lulling his defender into a foul then he'll inexplicably show the ball to the defender, allowing him to get his hands on it, and suddenly a promising possession turns into a turnover or a hilarious block where the defender doesn't even leave his feet.

0u does still suck, but there is zero reason that should have been a tight game

shaka is done regardless

How much would you like to wager on “shaka is done?”

JCB is a good comparison. He doesn’t have the vision of Brown and Brown has a little more game but overall Ramey reminds me of him as well.

If I were picking teams down at the Y, I would pick Ramey over Brown.  He is much more committed on the defensive end (and has better size).  Agree that they are similar players though.

Since this is an OU thread, it seems appropriate to say that I hope Ramey makes a jump like Buddy Hield in his senior year.  If Ramey can keep his 3PT% with the big jump in usage he will get next year while also improve his decision-making inside the arc, I could see him scoring 20 ppg next year.

FWIW, as a Tech fan, I'd take Ramey in a heartbeat. He's a good defender and shooter. I can live with some turnovers. That might be my bias considering another reliable 3 point shooter would be a night and day difference for us.

i think most all of us like Ramey, we just wish he had a better HC who could mold him into a more efficient and intelligent player.

Exactly. I think he would be more productive in a 2 guard line up vs three where his skills become somewhat redundant with Matt and AJ. 
 

He seems to value the ball more when Matt is on the bench.

Y’all should thank me for not watching the game.  

I got you, fam. These highlights include every point:

Even on replay, the second half is hard on the eyes. Only 25 points over that period versus 44 for the first. How many times has that happened this year?

I love Matt Coleman, and he made a big shot late, but he was absolutely awful in this game offensively. That was his only bucket, and I believe he finished with one assist and five turnovers. The entire OU team had three giveaways all night.

Also, though he plays for the "wrong" team, if you don't like Brady Manek, you don't like college hoops. Fun player to watch.

Fuck that trash-talking Grizzly Adams piece of shit.
