Is a bad man. Lotta posters on here need to eat their words earlier in the season about him.

Most don't, there was a lot of fair criticism there too, but there were a few people off the deep end.

It was pretty obvious that Buzz saw something there though because Phelps had the longest leash I think I've ever seen him have on a player since maybe Taylor was a freshman.

One of the things to note that he said in his post game interview is that he waited for the game to come to him and then kept it going when he realized his shots were falling. This is a sign that he is maturing.

Probably more so early in the season than now, but I saw him pressing and trying to do too much. I think the staff has done a good job at managing Phelps and letting his confidence grow after the early season injury hampered his game.

Ah ha! Thanks

He's gotten better as the season progressed and most of us that pointed out his early season limitations are thrilled to see him fulfilling his potential.

Yes the imaginary list pulled from God knows where

I messed that up when adding it in

It's from cbb reference, list just doesn't go back very far.

I had to add the last few in because we haven't had an online media guide the last two seasons.
