The Ross Enigma

Ahmad got 6 vs Nova, not garbage time. He was not scary, love to see him again for 10+

Stewart looked good last night. It’s his 3rd good game. I think he has earned to get some of Ross’s minutes and more PT. he played well on both offense and defense last night. Best defense he has played all year in my opinion.

..and then he follows it up with a stinker of a game against Georgetown. The reason Stewart is not getting more minutes, is he follows up every good game with a really bad one. Ross outplayed Stewar against Georgetown, but Ross shot still looking pretty rough.

I don’t really think that Stewart’s game was a stinker. He made some good contributions. I am questioning why you would ever let Ross bring the ball in bounds.

No. Mahaney gives us much more especially since he is starting to pick up his D. There may be a game where it makes sense to give him 10 minutes but not every game. IF AN gets a few meaningful minutes a game, he will improve. If it saves us a foul on Diarrra or AM , it's of value.

Ross had a straight drive to the hoop for a slam in the 1st half but he just stopped driving and put up a brick! Really? He lacks BBIQ, I think.

Head scratching. That sums up my issue with him, it’s like he panicked. There was no one within 10 feet of the hoop.

Yet another game of nice progress for Ross and that only helps this team come, February March and April…

Im mystified at the people in this thread saying Ross’s shot looks horrible…it’s technically sound. He had three clean pretty looking threes today… One of them nothing but net, another one halfway down and rattled back out. A beautiful reverse layup. A great alley oop dunk as well.

And the best defense he’s played against a quality team so far…

Yes, he had that one crazy brain fart missed opportunity for a highlight dunk, but I’m willing to bet he may not do that again.

Let’s root hard for this kid instead of being d-bags.

Mahaney has greater body of work, his D is improving, helped us beat Georgetown today. Don’t think Nowell to Mahaney is apples to apples just yet. The only way to see is if Nowell get 15 min or so a game for the next month and then discuss. Could be a difference maker.
