Wrong: Judah cut after making the pass but JJ didn’t give it back to him.The two can work, but I'm just not sure they know how to play team basketball. They are great athletic individual talents, but I'm waiting for them to use that to get easy shots for other guys, maybe each other. Maybe it's not on them and it's on thenithrr guys for not cutting, screening, etc. I see a bunch of players that don't know what to do when the ball isn't in their hands. Walton even called out a give and go opportunity that never happened because the guy didn't cut after passing the ball.
Maybe that was a different play. The one I saw, the player didn't cut or he hesitated and the opportunity was missed.Wrong: Judah cut after making the pass but JJ didn’t give it back to him.
Right. But the problem is, we have to put someone out there. Who else?
Accurate.Took me a few games before I made this post because I wanted to be sure. Watching Judah and JJ out there together, they are basically the same player. Heck, sometimes it’s hard to tell them apart because they have the same hairstyle. Both are dribble drive guys that can’t really shoot. They both want the ball in their hand. They’re not really complementary to each other.
I’m not sure it works having them as our primary guards. Problem is I’m not sure we have another option. I wish we had a better option at shooting guard. It may be a long year watching them both trying to get their points by driving and slashing.
That was JJ, and it was from the black NBA line too. Still don’t understand why the court in Hawaii has a college and NBA line.Did I just imagine this, or did JJ pull up for a 25 footer and miss at the start of the shot clock, as the game was already slipping away in the second half?
Or was that Judah?
It really is hard to tell sometimes.
Yeah, I mean he’s a shooting guard. He also plays quite possibly the worst defense on the team. Yes, he can drive. That’s all he can really do right now.A big problem is JJ is shooting 8% (not a misprint) from 3. If he would hit even a third of his threes, we'd be a much better offensive team. We need to get easier shots on Offense (Too much 1-on-1) and rebound on Defense. The inbound passes have also been an adventure.
Yeah they both are bad at basketballTook me a few games before I made this post because I wanted to be sure. Watching Judah and JJ out there together, they are basically the same player.

Red needs to be prepared to hit the portal hard this season and revamp the roster. A couple of freshmen aren’t going to cut it.… and a future uptick in talent but If we completely tank recruiting will be difficult. If we don't dance that is OK with me as long as we don't crash.
I said this in another thread, but our roster was higher rated than a good portion of the other teams in Maui. Those teams play as cohesive units. We do not. Red has to fix that.Judah can shoot. JJ is hopeless from 3 and not much better from 2. He is inefficient. Benny is our only real forward and his future seems untenable. Hima is our best center and that is a scary statement.
We lost two very good players in the portal. I am not going to criticize Red. He needs time to recruit.
I expect a record around 500 and a future uptick in talent but If we completely tank recruiting will be difficult. If we don't dance that is OK with me as long as we don't crash.
Yes. The difference in organization on both ends of the floor was pretty clear.I said this in another thread, but our roster was higher rated than a good portion of the other teams in Maui. Those teams play as cohesive units. We do not. Red has to fix that.
