Was just thinking that last night. His play improved a lot when he was in the G-league running every day. He had great stats in some of those games. He truly lacks the fundamental decision making required of an NBA guard - which is understandable given his lack of experience. I hope he plays...
Seems like an athletic big that justified his 4* ranking out of HS based on size and athleticism. Not sure why he didn't show progress to earn PT - was it due to schemes or his lack of effort/commitment to improve within those schemes. If all I saw were the highlights, I'd say he as great...
I think the "obvious" and easy take is to think that their playing time would be at risk. But I wondered if anyone in "the know" thought we were heading more towards a TE/RB/Slot receiver-heavy passing transformation as another indicator that we might not rely on multiple WR packages in this...
Pat Spencer LED the Warriors with 17 points tonight! Ok, ok….Steph. Wiggins, Kuminga, Draymond were all out….but still, he played 20 minutes and had 17 points. Pretty awesome for a kid that played only one year of College basketball
Not trying to be a stick in the mud. But…..it’s unlikely that we will routinely “out-talent” the upper echelon of the BT - even with the amazing play of Martinelli and Barnheizer. It means we will need to out scheme most of the teams except perhaps when we’re running real hot with 3s on...
On that note, I do sometimes wonder while Martinelli/Barnheizer are dribbling hard in the lane with their head down , why once in a while we can’t set a down pick to free up the other of Martinelli/Barnheizer or Berry to get to a wing and pass out for a more open 3. There is very little...
I’m in no way qualified to second guess a coach. Just trying to understand better how and why we go through long periods of scoring vacuums and although it worked out this time- it barely did so to get to OT and a single missed open 3 in the final seconds from losing this one too. Also to better...
Strategy definitely worked in the latter part of the game and overtime but didn’t work too well in the first half. I just wonder if Collins is sometimes forced into this style because of the inability of Leach to be a true playmaker (assists) and the lack of production from our young guards.
Of all the B-ball players at NU, Pat will likely be the one that plays the most minutes in the NBA when this is all said and done. I only see his game improving. The confidence he exudes on the court and the maturity he displays will take him far (he even got a Tech when the refs missed a...
