Spears played like he wasn’t 100% but good job AJ. Calhoun had many lock down players and you might be bit young to remember players like Ricky Moore but you could also count on to protect the ball and score a bit too.
I think Hurley’s taking my advice already at Marquette, AJ had 23 minutes, with 3 turnovers. I’d like to see it go down to more like 20 but this is the right way to go - limit amount of turnovers by using bench.
This a tough situation to figure out as he's kind of an enigma right? I mean we need AJ to play more because he does so much and when he's really good he's someone the other teams don't have answers for. Certainly I am not referring to offense but his ability to rebound, defend when focused, make plays when in transition and just get to loose balls, I mean 2nd to none when on. But because they don't guard the man, he needs to be on his game in all other other areas to create a positive close. Again good game against Marquette no doubt but a few headscratchers as ususal. Wish he would just make the play and quit worrying about how cute it is. Also stay on your feet on defense if he did he'd be a lock down defender but between that and always sloughing off his guy to make a play off the ball be gets burnt on occasion.
I don't think we need less minutes from Andre we need him fully focused on staying out of foul trouble, making smart plays with the ball and defending his guy. He can be that guy and he can play 25-28 minutes which makes us better.
