Stop that. More like Dean Smith I would sayTyler takes a lot of charges if thats what CT thinks is soft.
Cy's m.o. is bad takes, it's what he does.
So anyone check this dude out yet? I'm not going to drop it until someone gives him a look, then goes back to their man crushes.
I believe Jay Bilas called him the second best PG in college behind Marshall. So some high praise from a very knowledgable person.
We've discussed him a little bit in here .. he's just not very well known yet.
I doubt Jay Bilas has watched him that much, probably just looked at his stats like we all have done.
Also, I hate Jay Bilas more than any announcer in the world not named Chris Collingsworth
Jay also called Jordan Taylor the 2nd best PG in college .. guess he's a whore.
How do you NOT like Bilas, btw, he's the best, easily.

His stats are amazing...there's just not many highlights of him that I can find. But yeah, hope we see him in the tourney.
I found a few bits and pieces with him in them. Iona lost by 1 to Purdue but should have won, and beat a good St. Johns team. I don't think they will have much competition in their conference so we should see them in the Tourney unless they lose in their conference tournament. That would suck.
In what little I've seen he seems to be able to get people the ball in good spots while on the move. They have a highly recruited PG behind him that gets playing time and takes the ball up for the offensive sets, but the other 80% of the time Machado brings the ball up on a break. He seems to make really good decisions based on his high assist/TO rate, and his high shooting percentages. He seems to be able to play some D as well, almost 3 steals per game so far.
I'm sure the stats will drop some through the year, but they could stay fairly high too considering who he has to play in conference.
I read somewhere that in the off season he spent time with the Brazilian National team, and that was the biggest difference for him, and secondly he dropped 10-15 lbs and is now a gym rat added to the high conditioning for their run style offense. That is why nobody really heard of him before, I guess he didn't put much effort into getting better before, and now that he does he has improved dramatically.
You heard it here first folks, we pick up Scott Machado in the next draft.
Mark it down if I'm right, but forget about it if he stinks the rest of the year.
Wasn't Davis like 6'3 in his junior year of HS? Why does he have zero shooting skills?
