Most annoying player in B1G bball this year

Submitted by ypsituckyboy on

With basketball season in full swing and the B1G season looming, I figure it's time to revisit an important annual question - who is the most annoying basketball player in the B1G?

I can provide you with no fixed criteria. The reason(s) this player annoys you are entirely subjective. All answers in this thread, however, are equally valid. This player can be annoying due to:

-a great amount of God-given skill while playing for the Buckeyes (Evan Turner)

-a penchant for hitting timely 3-pointers (pick an undersized Wisconsin guard)

-being a master at attaching himself to a PG's hip/forearm (Craft)

-choosing to play for Tom Crean over John Beilein (Yogi)

-seriously unfortunate looks combined with skill (Denzel Valentine)

-or an infatuation with the human ability to flex (Troy Williams).

The pick for this year, I think, is rather obvious - Bryn Forbes. Mildly talented but appears to have the confidence of an NBA lottery pick. Exuberance that far exceeds his ability to grow proper facial hair. Screams and floor slaps after every 3, followed by matador defense. Swagger befitting a kid from NYC not the greater Lansing area.

Agree/disagree?

After watching Valentine his first few years, I never thought I'd come to hate a player as much. But then Brine (Bryn, yes I know) Forbes showed up. He wins. The worst.

Valentine, he had a good game last night, but give it some time and he will start making bone headed plays like he did in the IU game last year.   He is not only annoying, but has a low basketball IQ on the court.  Would be interesting to see what his wonderlick score would be.

Nice post. Even spelled Wonderlic wrong. While I will agree with everyone here that he is one ugly fella and VERY punchable.....that dude is off the charts w/ his basketball IQ. He had 12 assists and 1 turnover last night. He makes some stupid turnovers but he has better court awareness than anyone in the B1G.

I always thought Valentine was one droopy ass ugly looking mother fucker, I always thought he was lucky too. Guess he may have some skill though. Not sold

When I see Valentine, I immediately associate him with everything I hate about MSU. The attitude exudes from him like Izzo and most every other person from the school.

by a mile. Although its early in the season, i don't see anyone stepping up to take the #1 spot. He has everything in someone you would want to hate. plays for rival team. punchable face. over rated. arrogant. loved by national taking heads.

I recall a game at Crisler against Staee where Valentine got in Horfords face going into a timeout with this false sense of bravado and got reprimanded by the refs for it. I've absolutely hated him ever since then.
