Jones has been a disappointment thus far. I expected far more from him. Look, for those Jones defenders, it is obvious that we need much more of an interior presence. As much as people question Lavin & the staff, they undoubtedly know this. So Jones must not be showing anything in practice for him not to get minutes in a game like this. And, when he is in, he shows absolutely no awareness on defense or on the boards. A guy with his physique should make a living on the glass against a team like FDU. In fact, the only area this year where Jones has looked comfortable at all is shooting the occasional foul line jumper.
Branch did not play well. Would be nice to see a bounce back effort from him next game. Very inconsistent. You can count on him for at least one weak pass that gets stolen every game by a defender jumping a passing lane.
D-Lo, Phil, Obekpa, Dom and Sheed all played well overall. Curious as to why Sheed only got 23 minutes though.
