1) Both Samson and Reed are pretty poor at being in the proper position on defense off dribble drives. Samson recovers much quicker and forces passes. If our other defenders were collapsing into the paint properly, those passes wouldn’t lead to easy layups.

2) I agree with this, but the time to experiment with freshman isn’t when we’re down 10…and unfortunately, we haven’t played well enough to give the frosh some leniency with any meaningful minutes.

3) The JStew situation aggravates me a lot too…my only reasoning for this is McNeeley and Karaban need to be on the floor as much as possible. That leaves the 2 guard the only spot JStew can plan and with Hass on the floor, you’re not putting in JStew over Ball. Unless we go small ball with Karaban at the 5 (didn’t work great last year), JStew is stuck between a rock and a hard place, but the fact that he started at the 2 yesterday when he’s theoretically out of position means Danny knows he needs to be on the floor. If we play decent enough to keep Hass on the bench yesterday…JStew was getting 25-30 minutes for sure.
