Hate our press. Way too hit or miss. no medium and fine line with itPress is hot garbage.

He needs to plant himself under the rim on d. He come out way too far and they drive right past him. JB called a timeout to get on him about that and then he did it againChukwu is effin clueless but he's so tall and athletic that it doesn't matter against these guys. He needs to learn where to be. It won't work against the ACC.
TT is a monster. 75th rated recruit my arse.We are giving the ball to Thompson and clearing out for him. He is a beast, and will only get better as the year goes on.

I guess Boeheim wants to keep the score close. SC State probably has 20 of their 31 off of our press, or lack of.Hate our press. Way too hit or miss. no medium and fine line with it
I thought Keita was limited offensively. Chukwu makes Keita look offensively gifted. 3 turnovers. Maybe over time he'll develop a little.Its fine when Chukwu stays in position. He goes way to high and smaller guys just out run him to basket
It will come with more game time. He is coming up too far, he needs to just stand in front of the basket like McNeil used to do for us. The press will give up some baskets, but it will cause some mistakes and rushed shots as well. It will get better later in the year. We undervalued Cooney's and Gbinije's D last year.Chukwu just doesn't seem to have a shot blocker's mentality or skills. Not sure what JB was talking about when he said he'd block a lot of shots this year. PC doesn't block with his height and reach. It's almost like he's trying to block shots with the same technique as a guy who's 6'8". I think he's also trying to cover too much ground. Needs to be stationed in the paint, and not running out into the wings. Too many blow-bys and then he's behind the guy with the ball. Not sure if he just needs confidence or time.
At times we have 3 guys trapping on the ballI think when we pressed we always pressed way too tight , especially on the ball handlers, so we ended up chasing them instead of staying in front of them. I have no idea why JB never made any adjustments about that.

HoustonCuse said:I don't get the fire for Chukwu. He's playing well in my opinion. Yeah he's making mistakes but he basically alters or blocks every shot in the paint. You can't underestimate the value of that and he will get better.
wish I could watch it
Yah. DC and TT hitting 12-footers is just chocolate sauce.Agreed. Between that and DaJuan's 12-14 footer and Lydon as a 5,out center position is light years better.
