Here to express solidarity with Eric and his Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. I am another Jewish person who did not know the term but happens to have one in his living room right now. This year itâs the ficus. Weâre never home for the holidays anyways.
To be fair to me⊠It was an actual Christmas tree, not another tree that looked like a Christmas tree 
Well then when they give out the umhoopsies this year Iâm definitely not a candidate for the Best Jewish Person Christmas Tree award. Eric may be.
Very much appreciate the solidarity. My fiancĂ© made me watch A Charlie Brown Christmas last night after I told her what happened on the pod⊠I didnât remember but I had seen it a long time ago, just forgot what actually happened.
Also, Dylan greatly exaggerated â the tree doesnât look anything like the movie lol. It was mostly cut off in the background of the Zoom, though, so Iâll give him somewhat of a pass.
This sounds like A Very UMHoops Podcast Moment. I thoroughly enjoyed it and its aftermath.
I am jewish as well, and have seen the movie several times, and knew Dylanâs reference immediately! Yâall are crazy!
Also, Iâm glad my question didnât get laughed at on-air this time!
Finally, I listened to this and a Duncâd on consecutively on my flight, and they were discussing, with Seth Partnow, a proprietary stat of Partnowâs - total usage which includes assists.
I think that usage with assists stat would be way more useful in the NBA where they record âkey passesâ to use a soccer term or passes that lead to a shot.
Without it, the assists donât tell the full story.
Yeah he said he includes those and âpotential assistsâ (assists where the guy doesnât make the shot) too
Yep. That is really a money stat for trying to understand the importance of shot creation.
It gets to some mind breaking numbers
Doncic gets pushed to nearly 70%
Curry and Young over 60%
I am here to protest the description of Dug as âtiny.â Itâs wrong, itâs immoral, itâs unbecoming of the Michigan community. And Phil Martelli of all people has also committed this grave sin.
Is Tyger Campbell tiny? Is Zakai Zeigler tiny? Ok, maybe Zakai, but there is no place for heightism in D1 hoops.
Dug is definitely tiny. Doesnât mean he canât be good, but he is quite small.
Zeigler is the recent comp IMO.
I hosted a late night show last week with Lavall Jordan (who is awesome by the way) on and got to ask him about what he expects of Dug before the Minnesota game, and on-air he called him âLittle Duggyâ twice. He is now Little Duggy to me.
Zeigler is listed as 5â9"
And Dug is listed at 5-11. Iâm not sure that really tells me much regarding how tall either is.
Love that Dylan had to get in one last jab at the âroster constructionâ phrasing that has occurred here
Great discussion, and you guys got ROLLING once the Q&A started.
Podcast construction was superb. (srsly, the format was great as was the content, even if Dylan needs to just read the dern dictionary entry for âconstructionâ)
Tells me they sure arenât 6 feet tall. Dugâs not pulling a Kevin Garnett here.
Is this a pronunciation thing I do wrong? Not sure what you mean.
