Its a horrendously constructed team. Start with PG, Mintz could be solid as a 3rd or 4th guard, playing 15-20 minutes off the bench and hitting threes. Instead we rely on him to be our only creator, and he just can't do that. Askew is just not good enough to play at all, he shouldn't be on the roster. If that's because he should still be a senior in HS, then Cal should have figured that out when he was recruiting.
On the wing, Boston and Clarke are the same player, and neither can shoot. Neither are good decision makers and neither is strong with the ball. But hey, 6-7! Long arms! Cal fooled again. Allen can stroke it but he can't create for himself. If he had a Fox or SGA creating for him, he'd be deadly every night. Obviously we have nothing like that.
Then the front court, lol. A mish mash of the same player over and over. Its not that any of them are particularly bad, but there are FIVE of them (six including Fletcher) who expect to play. So at all times we have 2 of them on the floor, taking up space and trying to post up, because Cal has decided that's the key to offensive basketball in 2021. Why is Sarr even on the roster? We already had 4 of him. You'd think with all this size we could at least offensive rebound our way to some wins a la 2014, too bad none of them could hold Randle's jock.
This is every bad outcome of the way Cal recruits and builds a roster on one team, a failure from top to bottom. $10 million.
