His speed move is a semi hi carry/palm move that won’t work against certain defenders.
Same with Paul.
They’ll both see very little time against elite on ball defenders like Purdue had

I agree. Bad matchups in this game for both he and Mulchahy for different reasons.
I give Pike and his coaches big kudos for seeing that and making the adjustments.

Disagree.Our offense was non existent for long stretches of the second half.He was our only player that broke their D down on a couple of occasions.His D is always stellar .That being said he has to control the palming, turnovers & his composure.This was his first shaky game after several good ones.Going forward he will be an important ingredient to our success.Pauls dribble was way to high & he monopolized the clock, without any scoring threat.It is his minutes that I would cut.With Caleb stellar & Geo getting healthy, they deserve 30ish minutes.Of course matchups will always dictate the rotation.
Bad segment after many good games in a row.So you don't play the guy, who is a big time talent and lockdown defender?
Should Pike wait until he ha 7 or 10 turnovers? No 1 guy is the reasons why RU is winning right now. Pike is going with who is playing the best at the time. Young had a rough out of control game. His D was not out weighing how he was hurting the team in just a small number of minutes that he played. Pike did the right thing. Young will bounce back and he'll play a lot more minutes.
Gio got the same treatment when he wasn't playing well. It wasn't necessarily turnovers, but his D did not out weight his horrible shouting.
Starting to really like Young, though. Speed is over the top. His attitude fires up the team. They blew out Purdue when they were running (with JY in) up and down the floor. Purdue caught up when RU played slow-down and couldn't buy a bucket. Young still does sh*t that makes you wince, but not nearly as much as he did early on. I like this kid...
I didn't wince about his turnovers from going too fast and losing the handle or dribbling the ball out of bounds after his steal. He wasn't dribbling into the trees in the middle and getting caught in the air with nowhere to go with the ball. Those kind of turnovers made me wince. He has not done that in a while unless I missed it some place. He was going too fast yesterday. He did not calm down with coaxing from the bench so Pike pulled the string. I'm sure the message got through. He'll fix it and settle down or he'll watch. .
DUDE...what game where YOU watching?? He did that AT LEAST once that I remember yelling at the TV for, and probably another time or two. His MO is...he's emotional and out of control. When he gets a handle on that he does fine...if not? Well...5 TO's is the evidence.
My thought during Purdue's comeback was it might have been nice to have someone who can create their own shot.
Especially when we go into milk the clock mode.
Now this is more wonderment, then a critique, so I'm not bitching in the face of a victory.
Young had a bad first half. The team went through an extended scoring drought and could have used a spark off the bench. I thought Pike could have at least given him a shot there to see what young could bring especially since his defense is very good. Maybe he has a strong second half and the game never gets close. Who knows. We won though and Young will be fresh for Michigan
Also reverted to playing out of control on a couple of possessions in a row & turned it over on each.
No. You don't. He was hurting the team last night. If you were unable to see that, I don't know what to tell you.
Don't worry though. Pike doesn't hold grudges. JY will be one of the first guys off the bench on Saturday.
