Sumner

[vee4xu]

Punctuation not withstanding, I think this is an interesting topic... Here recent star X guards in their frosh seasons on ppg (not a terribly accurate stat, but a decent blunt object for production):

Sumner's future is bright, but he's still developing.

So, not looking at punctuation here, but spelling. I believe the word you're looking for is notwithstanding versus not withstanding. You compounded the word into one meaning not able to stand up to something. For example, the weight of an object or the constant badgering of another person. The word notwithstanding means in spite of, which is the one you're seeking.

I can only imagine your gestures, facial expression and expletives being uttered at me at this point.

Sumner is pretty skinny and is getting bumped a lot when he slashes inside so he may be wearing down but we're not that dependent on him for scoring. Hope he's not hitting a wall but as long as he distributes and plays defense I think we'll be ok.

He's a redshirt freshman with more time to get himself ready for a full season in the Big East even with his knee problems. Saturday LAJ came in and played great and Ed didn't have to do a lot. His last shots aren't falling. He's not bricking everything like Trevon went through. He's still got about 6 different gears he can switch to with one trip up the floor with the ball. He dunked easy at Depaul but man his jump is up and away as quick as anybody. I'm not one bit concerned.

He's definitely showing some signs of either wearing down or slowing down......

I'm not worried about Sumner. Just a couple rough games, and hes been getting a little more attention from opposing defenses. If he has a bad month of February it might be reason for concern. at this point i would be more concerned with Abell.

I feel like I am required to state that there should be a comma between wall and but in the above sentence, but I am worried about making a grammatical error in my response.

Justin Martin went into the tank after his concussion his junior season (last season here). I don't think ED is going through the same thing.

He will be fine. Great to see LAJ step up.

Abell is not a scorer.....and we don't really rely on him to score. I think when he does it's a bonus. I'd love to see him rebound better more than anything. Sumner is so much more important at PG........

obviously hes not a big scorer, but his percentages are way down this year. Hes still playing good man defense, but with the amount of zone we play, that isn't quite as valuable. Of course Sumner is more valuable at PG, but im just saying at this point im not really worried about him.
