27% first half bricklayers convention. As Chief mention last game, we are hurrying and not playing quick or crisp as per John Wooden.
Chief thought we had some open looks, our shooting was just terrible. We don’t run the break well and got nothing from Jalen, who apparently was more focused on his new hair twistered style for his birthday than knocking down open shots.
Again, I don’t know why our Bigs on defense find themselves 20 to 25 feet from the basket needlessly jumping out on the screens. If the other Bigs rolls, they find themself wide open. Having said all this our defense kept us semi respectable until a little more offense kicked in.
The strange dichotomy of Carlton playing better against the weak teams and Cobb contributing more against the better teams continued.
Who played well? Yakwe for the second straight game showed some defense and shot blocking. He is shooting around 22% from the line. Gilbert hit some nice threes but still overpenetrates and forces the break too often. He needs to relax and let the game come to him. Take more outside shots in the flow.
Sid again showed some flashes of great play. Danny thinks he’s the guy to play in the middle of the zone. He has the length, can jump over people or knock down the 15 footer.
The lineup I would like to see, Gilbert, Jalen, Sid , Polley and a rotation at center.
I wonder if our frenetic defense leads to frenetic rushing offense?
Adams better end his birthday celebration soon and get back to basketball. Vital made some mistakes but was engaged and played hard.
