Terrence Samuel?

Why is he not playing at all? He's give us a spark off the bench last few game and gave us productive minutes last night.

Omar is a turnover machine, a defensive liability and can't make a shot. Samuel should be getting all his minutes.

It's meaningless now but curious why Ollie didn't give him any minutes.

Totally agree.

I can get why he'd go to Omar first. But once they were getting steamrolled in the first few minutes of the second-half, maybe? Maybe try something else?

I assume you didn't see the few minutes TS played in the first half. Looked like a deer in the headlights.

Samuel seems to struggle with the double team from what I've seen. He has a tendency to try to dribble through it. Emphasis on try.

Samuel was a TO machine out there.

Samuel kept on getting trapped and losing the ball, he doesnt have the confidence or handle against elite teams like Louisville

 

[aceboon]

Samuel's handle is way too janky to deal with the kind of pressure D Louisville plays, he got the ball taken away from him by Hancock, what do you think Smith, Jones, and Rozier would do to him??

I agree, but I give him a pass somewhat because Louisville's strategy on double teams is basically just hack you and live with the percentage of time it actually gets called a foul.

Dribbled with his head down and got the permement hook.

Samuel isn't athletic enough against a pressure team like Louisville. He can be a fine role player for us in the future but he'll never be a star and that is ok. If he develops he can be more than a role player.
This constant screaming for players on the bench to replace players in the game is idiotic. Somebody must be a moron: either it is your coach with 13 years of NBA experience or some all backyard Boneyarder.

Samuel had 1 TO and was yanked. After that, Omar and LK had about 4 in the next 5 minutes. Not to mention the terrible shots Boat was throwing up.

TS should have been yanked, coached on the bench, and brought back in as a replacement. Everyone on this team made terrible mistakes today.

I thought the rotation was bad today. Of course...everything was bad today.

I think Samuel will be a solid player for this team over the next three years but he doesn't yet have the ability to account for all 5 defenders, he gets in trouble with a swarming team like Louisville.

 

[Kitaman]

They smelled Samuel's freshman blood, like a shark to bloody chum and they feasted. No fault of his, just was easy 'pick-ins' for Ville.

 

[3rdbass]

Yes in both the cincy and Louisville game he has looked bad against pressure. Dribbles too much against the double teams.

I didn't say he was Chris Paul or to give him 20 minutes tonight, or the reason we lost. I understand you lack reading comprehension, so let me help you out. My original post was questioning why Samuel didn't get Omar's minutes.
People point out his poor handle under pressure. I understand Samuel can struggle with his handle against their zone press, but no more so then Omar who simply can't dribble. I'd rather have Samuel on the floor when Giff was in foul trouble because hes a better defender and absolutely has a better handle then Omar.
