There's a team here

Just want to address this... Yes, Aidan has fallen way short of expectations. I legit thought he'd be Cam 2.0 and be one of our best players. That's obviously not happened. However, he has two or three games where his scoring has legit turned the tides. And, his +/- on the year is positive as compared to several other board faves. Lastly, the "stall out" concept is actually untrue. While Aidan didn't do anything particularly noteworthy last night, we did come back and take the lead when he was on the court. I think defenses are aware of him when he's on the court. I still have hope that he's going to find his role as an off the bench scorer that this team desperately needs.

Yes. There is a huge difference between a good player who is struggling for various internal reasons (confidence, adjusting to a new role in a new system), and a player who is struggling because they don’t have what it takes. Many people seem to this Mahaney is in the latter bucket. I fully believe it’s the former. I think he will be the missing piece by March. But you never know, maybe it won’t be til next season.

Lumping Mahaney and Ross together is weird. One has played a key part in some wins, the other has not.

Ross and Aidan are this year's whipping boys. It doesn't matter what each might do, they are always going to be lumped together.

It would of been better if Diarra had taken that open 3 first we wouldn't even been talking about this. Diarra has to have more faith in his outside shot that is coming around. I definitely don't want Karaban driving to win a gam for us.

Yeah I was talking more in general throughout the game let's say we have 7 seconds on the shot who can we give the ball to and say make a move. It is really just Diarra that can do that with McNeeley out. Hopefully Solo progresses in the area and I think he will eventually.

I would also agree in hindsight Diarra should have taken the open 3 off the inbounds. Especially as it ended up, he retreated to half court and then decided to drive it in. Feel like there was probably some set they were trying to run and it ended up not being there, so he decided just to go himself.
