Kris Dunn 6'3 205 averaging 13/5/7
Sheed 6'4 185 averaging 13/4/3
Both are ultra talented sophomores, with similar frames, speed, and athleticism.
Jamal isn't the appropriate matchup, let Sheed get his 25-30 uninterrupted minutes and lets get out and get into transition, create turnovers, play great D and do what we do best tomorrow night.
The potential of Myles shooting 3-5 from three, spreading the floor and leveling out our size on the perimeter is needed. CJ and Joey protecting Sir and Chris' respective foul situations is also extremely valuable. Finding a common medium for both of these situations should be one of the staff's many goals for tomorrow night and moving forward.
I'm aiming at 3-1 through Duke, putting us back at 14-5 on the outside looking in to the top25.
The staff has found minutes for Stewart and Jones. They aren't using them well. Stewart is looking to shoot the 3 ball, but that's all he's doing. Would it kill him to get the under the hoop for a rebound, or to put it on the floor and get into the lane? He looked good early, but he looked good shooting the 3. That's it.
Jones is out to lunch. He needs to start playing like it matters to him. All we hear about is what an imposing body he has once he checks in. There is nothing imposing about him during the game. He ducks out of the way when the opposing team is boxing out for a rebound. WTF?
I'd give Alibegovic a chance. He might be lost on defense, but hes trying, and he's a freshman so that's to be expected, to a degree. Delarosa does rebound, and we do need him to spell Chris. IDK what's up w Balamou, but he's been either redshirted, hurt or benched for two years. He can hustle on defense and grab a board. He put the ball on the floor against LBS and scored in a half court set. It's the only time I've ever seen him do it.
Of our 5 subs, after RJ, they are so astonishingly limited, it's clear why a Lavin can't get more out of them. Can't get what isn't there. These guys aren't able to play at this level. Maybe Stewart and Alibegovic will eventually be able to, but Balamou, Jones and Delarosa have been D1 ballers for years now. If it was there, we'd have seen a sign of it.
