8 turnovers and JY has 4

Why don’t people understand JY has the ball more than anyone else on the team every game of course he’s going to have a good number of turnovers. Yeah you want less. But him and Paul turn the ball over at virtually the same rate (slight positive edge to Young before tonight) and Paul is LAUDED consistently.

How?



This board is brutal when it comes to JY.



Paul had the WORST TURNOVER% of the 8 man rotation. Paul had a GREAT eye for passing. But these sweeping genralizations where the data contradicts it is just getting old.



This board is brutal when it comes to
JY.

It's based on watching this team play every game except one. This team makes basketball look much harder than it needs to. There is no question PM has the highest IQ on this team. And it's not even close.

Paul needs to go up with his left hand and use his body to block off the defender. This isn't HS where you get away with that.

So you watched every game but one and didn’t realize Paul has the highest turnover percentage on the team to the guys who actually play. If the guy with the highest basketball IQ and it’s not even close leads the rotation in turnover percentage were in trouble.

At least we are taking it to the basket..we just can’t hit layups!
Geo needs the ball in his hands more on offense

Can we get our act together here and string together some buckets and stops? Not looking like it so far as Minnesota has matched our intensity and then some . They want it more right now

I’m disappointed in the rebounding. Especially on the defensive glass. That used to be our thing. Can’t give teams multiple possessions. Gotta be one and done.
