Reed has regressed.

He has trouble securing the ball which was sort of masked last year but is becoming a problem this year. He is susceptible to defenders swiping at the ball when he makes his initial post move and when he attempts to secure rebounds. The ball security issues are a surprise given his size and strength.

I am tired of hearing about the wrist. I didn't hear about it last game when he played well. If it's that big an issue why is he playing?

Solo is where Karaban was last year. Obviously hurt where it's impacting his performance in a major way, with a bunch of imbeciles claiming he sucks. The difference is that Solo doesn't offer as much when he isn't shooting well.

Reed is the least of our problems…..

Love being 20-1, 10-0 in BE, but man oh man do we have some work to do and important things to iron out if we want to reach the mountaintop this year…

We just cannot defend a team well that plays with pace and who can dribble drive from the top of the key.

Our FTs down the stretch continue to be abysmal.

Too many wasted possessions on offense with TOs and bad shot selection.

Fairly weak rebounding effort.

And when did our student section become so docile? The shots on TV were embarrassing. If you watched Duke and BYU games last night, our student section looked like they were at an intramural chess club match.

To be fair BYU was playing their biggest game of the year vs the #1 team in the nation.

There seemed to be a lot more students than usual wandering around the concourse. $2 beer night may have something to do with it.

Karaban is shooting 48/40/80 on volume this season and is the most important off-ball piece in this offense. What are you even talking about right now?

AK is by no means perfect, but his presence on the floor goes well beyond missing some buckets.

I won’t argue it. But we’re only giving up 64 points a game on 39% shooting. That’s elite. We need to put the ball in the basket more often. We went 8minutes + in the first half without a field goal. And that’s been the trend. The defense has saved us this season.

And still finished with 23 assists on 29 made field goals.

He’s acting like Ross has somehow earned minutes over Karaban.

Don’t put words in my mouth. It’s not right to completely bench someone over one mistake when you then let a guy play without consequence.

Just let guys play and hold them to the same standard. Whether it’s being super critical of every mistake, or allowing guys to play freely through mistakes.

But treat everyone that way.

One guy started on 2 championship teams. No they don’t have an equal leash lmfao

Unlike Josh Boone who legitimately beat out a McDonald’s All American for his starting spot on a championship team.

Karaban was quite literally the only option to start. And guess what? All that leash and opportunity helped him get valuable experience and turn out fine. He wasn’t some world beater out there his freshman year.

You have to let guys play through mistakes man.

Head scratcher W.....Hurley is way too lenient with AK and Solo. Why we continued to run offensive sets for someone in a shooting slump and hurt wrist blows my mind. It didn't take long to realize we had a huge advantage down low and the ball should of went down there every trip down the floor.

We don't win with out them, that's why he's lenient with them.

You’re asking for Ross and Stewie to have the same leash as Karaban. It’s stupid

Those guys should be better but karaban hasn’t shown improvement in the last couple years either.

I want to see Karaban develop a pull up jumper. He's been trying to get to the rim off the bounce but it's just not his game. Instead of getting blocked or putting up bad shots a 10 foot pull up jumper might solve his problems. Maybe he should talk to Ball who developed that move in the offseason.
 
Did anyone else have trouble with the switch from truTV to TNT? My Sling DVR didn't record the end of the game. Very frustrating. Not sure how to solve that other than drop sling. I don't think I had that problem when I had YouTubeTV

I’ve been saying for awhile the next level for Karaban was developing a post game that would allow him to use his arm length and smarts to score and make plays for others rather than his athleticism.
