Message: [QUOTE="Candyman, post: 5129650, member: 4084"] I don’t see it right now. Defense can’t guard anyone. Like anyone. The switches which were are bread and butter for last 4 years is so bad. low basketball IQ players minus except Karaban. Bad teams got to the paint and rim at will with us we were lucky we just had much more talent. You could see the defense struggles in the early games. The sophomores did not make the leap as we we were told they did. Solo can shoot three but he does nothing else good. Ross? Where is this Ross we heard about? Stew is same stew as last year. Some good moments and some bad ones still not there yet. Mahaney was our big transfer portal win who was going to score a lot for us and be the go to in crunch time. He can’t get by anyone on offense and hasn’t proven he can shoot. Not to mention horrible defense. Big miss on him like Timberlake level bad. Kanas is laughing. McNeeley can’t guard anyone as well nor rebound good. He had off night from floor which means stew should play. Karaban to me was never going to be a go to all American type. He’s a very very good role player, who can get hot from three or be cold. How many times does he get his shot punched driving a game. Reed is very good and should play over Samson but he is lost on switches a lot and slow to get back to his man. I like Nowell but he is just a freshman. Johnson can’t rebound and never gets good position also boxed out. Sure he had some nice baskets but he is a liability out there and sets the worse screens I ever seen. He also try’s to block every shot that hurts us. Needs to come off bench. Don’t see us in the tourney unless drastic defensive philosophy changes. More emphasis on driving to the paint less relying on the three ball. Hurley thought we can just out shoot teams from three [/QUOTE]
