What leads you to that conclusion? JB's pressers? Passion is more than being frustrated your team lost and blaming everyone else.This teams soft and you cant push them like they need. JBs 4x their age and unfortunately he has 4x the passion of most of the kids on this team.
Exactly. He's not John Wallace or anything yet, but he is out there making positive things happen. I feel the same way about Taylor. Most of his impact to the team is positive. May not be the most major impact, but it is a positive one.Your list reminds me what I was doing the other night. I was going down the roster and identifying one thing that every player does or doesn't do that hurts the team. For Brown, there really isn't anything. Yeah, he may not have the offensive ceiling like Benny or Bell, but he contributes each and every minute of the game. He lets his presence be known. Just a solid player.
For the record, while drafting this, I actually had Mintz in 3rd, under Bol, But at the last second, I moved Mintz up bc of his overall positive contributions w scoring and everything. I do think the woofing holds him back, bc it sometimes takes too long & the opponent is breaking the other way.Nice job summing up what we have seen so far this season with this team. I could bicker a bit on Jon Bol over Mintz but they are definitely the top of the list with Q also in the mix. I think the critical thing you mention regarding the need for our seniors to set the tone. Just not happening! Maybe why I lean a bit towards Jon Bol over Mintz. Makes you wonder if there is even a leader in this group? Natural leaders would have emerged by now, you would think?
+1george hicker . he was ejected during a game from his second row seat. classic.
Watching them play tells you they are soft. Winning doesn’t seem to matter to them.What leads you to that conclusion? JB's pressers? Passion is more than being frustrated your team lost and blaming everyone else.
In general, way too much catering to the young people that are the future of this country.Watching them play tells you they are soft. Winning doesn’t seem to matter to them.
I think part of this is due to the AAU mentalityThe pride of making the tournament has faded here and elsewhere across college hoops. Winning games isn’t as big of a deal. It’s nice but they don’t lose sleep over it. Certainly many draft picks aren’t affected by playing for losing teams.
For some of the guys we brought in, they are sometimes content just getting opportunities to see the court.
It’s a bad combination.

I touched on this last night on my two cents post. Effort, balls to the wall passion. Hating to lose. Leaders.
This team lacks the leadership and all out puke your guts out, fist through the wall, will your team, cry , scream and kick players that win.
Pearl takes on Ewing. DC takes on the football team, Gmac, Devo, Flynn, Hop, Bug, Marty, Lees, Buddy, Battle,
And JB. Yes our coach who used to go out of his mind ,bat sh...t crazy throw his jacket have to be restrained coach.
To todays bunch.
Mintz has it. Copeland, Hima, passion, a hatred of losing.
The rest i dont see it. Sure some in spurts but nothing like Gmac or Devo or Hop. Not even close.
We have talent on this team. We dont have enough DOGS. Back in the day if you didnt give a 1000% in the game you did suicides till you puked your guts out.
