Holy lord, our offense is awful. This team cannot shoot, period. Especially when GG has an off night. 19-61 from the field (31%) and 4-22 from deep (18%). We’re not going to beat many teams unless guys make sudden improvements.
This game changed when Pike put JMike on #24 Pinzon and kept Simpson at PG. JMike did a good job slowing down Pinzon.
Hyatt was MVP today, with a solid overall game, but I didn’t like his decisions down the stretch. Two bad threes and an ill advised drive that ended up in a TO. But we don’t win without his overall contributions, including timely buckets, FTs, and good defense.
Cliff finally woke up from his off season slumber with a double double (most of which was in the second half).
Simpson didn’t have a good shooting day, but he did a good job running the team in the final 10 minutes, and he was money at the FT line. Finished with 12 points and 4 assists.
Fernandes hit that first three but then basically disappeared for the rest of the game. He has been a complete non-factor for two straight games. We’re not going to get better unless he wakes up.
JMike played good defense but damn he just can’t shoot or finish. But with his defense and toughness, he’s contributing more than Fernandes.
Gavin had a rough day, shooting just 2-11 (1-8). But he played solid defense and didn’t lose his confidence in contributing in other ways.
Three game sample size now — still not a lot — but the poor shooting is growing more and more concerning. I hate to put so much on a freshman, but if GG doesn’t find his shooting touch, this team is in deep trouble. Hyatt is too streaky, and Fernandes hasn’t shown anything yet, so we NEED Gavin to get better and FAST.
