Cole....Defense?

[kobebeanbryant]

pg play is a big weakness. can rahsool declare early?

 

[huskyblooz]

I can’t stand him. The ball stops with him. And he got burned twice on defense in last 20 seconds of regulation. This should’ve been a W!

 

[Forte]

Defense is about the only thing Cole can do apparently

We currently don’t have a PG.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Big East a little different than the MEAC I guess?

 

[Com'rGordon]

It’s hard to be mad at Cole because of how good he did on Zegarowski but I am so pissed at him

 

[Palatine]

Cole was great on defense. Awful on offense.

He is NOT a able setter.

 

[Milo65]

This loss was on him, lost his man on D down the stretch, fell in love with his shot and missed those free throws.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Cole and gaffney both terrible

Had multiple chances at "winning" plays and didn't come through

 

[Spaceman213J]

I think he can shoot, but he's not a shot creator. I'm fine with him spotting up, but I don't like him off the dribble. He puts his head down and does not have the vision to be a true point guard.

His on ball defense was solid. His last 7 minutes offensively especially were atrocious. He needs to be better IQ wise when it comes to what and where the game is at and what the team needs.

 

[Sachem]

This kid is awful at shooting, pretty much single handedly lost this game for us.

What game are u guys early in thread watching? The loss squarely on Cole. Choke job at foul line to ice it. Tons of forced hard shots. As Ugly a game I’ve seen from a guy shooting 14-15 times. At least he looks at hoop unlike Gaffney. We need guards bad.
Let’s get Andre some PT, I know he’s raw, but he can pass and could create some down the road. We need someone to create other than Bouk.

 

[TheRick]

Never been a fan of Cole. Missed 2 free throws that lost us the game. Overtime shot a couple 3's that were bricks. Gaffney deserves his minutes.

 

[uconngb]

Ok, Cole played some good D today. But overall, I am not impressed. He takes bad shots, takes too many of them, and isn’t the leader we need running point. He needs to get better quick.

Cole has been completely unimpressive. And he choked epically today.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Don’t let how bad RJ played let you forget how horrible Martin was too.

You didn't notice the bricks that Gaffney threw up in overtime.

Couldn’t agree more

 

[mauconnfan]

I was nervous about our guard play after the first 3 now I’m terrified. Cole was good until he missed the FTs, not great but good. Gaff made his FTs give him that but he does nothing else on the court.

Trouble!!

Gaffney?!? Sure if we need someone to dribble in place for 20 seconds sure. Neither bring anything. Play Jackson or Hurley at the point. Maybe Diggins can graduate and play like the Gonzaga commit.

 

[calluke]

El amin makes both of those FT's...just sayin'.

Gilbert makes both of those FTs

Martin was fine. Need more of him it would seem and he plays hard on the boards especially.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

My biggest concern at the beginning of the year was who will hit big free throws down the stretch to ice games a la CV and today we found out, at this point it's...no one.

 

[JellyJalen]

We were handing out bricks today. Except Bouk.
