This. MCW got a 30 second screaming lecture from JB.It was painfully obvious that MCW got yanked with .16 left for not holding for one.

What's a PG suppose to do? Distribute the ball and play good defense.
I'm probably just expecting more out of him. It's his third year starting. He's the only remaining starter from our #1 ranked team of two years ago. He has more starts under his belt than anyone else on the team.
He hasn't stepped up the way I've expected him to so far.

BT is/was/will be, the X-Factor for this team. A superior Brandon Triche makes us a serious contender.
A lethargic, sominex, insecure, hesitant Brandon Triche, the one we've seen more often then not unfortunately, keeps us at the very good but not great level.
I keep hoping to see a "senior-year-Andy-Rautins-like" performance by Triche, but it just ain't happening so far.
Carter-Williams and Waiters need to start. They have done so much better than Scoop and Triche.
What's a SG suppose to do? Be a scorer. Dion is a much better scorer than Triche.
What's a PG suppose to do? Distribute the ball and play good defense. MCW plays better defense than Scoop. Passing is a wash. As Scoop simply sucks at it, and MCW is still learning.

dude MCW could barely handle the pressure of fordham guards when handling the rock... imagine the big east.
A superior anybody on the team will make us a contender. What has Triche shown to make you think he's "that guy"? He's been wildly inconsistent and doesn't excel at any one thing. He lacks the ability to beat defenders off the bounce and at best he's an average shooter. Why is he the key to anything? Fact is he's a pretty solid basketball player but he's never shown the ability that some of you claim he has. Triche seems like a fragile kid, if keeping him as a starter helps to keep his confidence up--fine, but those clamoring for him to become our savior this year are going to be disappointed.
Oh boy. Let me sober you up a little bit - if we were going to lose one player of all the guys that played 10+ mins yesterday, BT is the one to lose. Losing him will have the least impact on our ability to be successful this yr. he is a good, not great defender. and he does little else. Not being cruel. but thats the fact.
You read this thread and everyone keeps saying once he becomes the real BT he'll be fine...guys, its been 2+ yrs. This is the real BT. There is no other BT just like there is no Zeus. It is a myth.
He. Does. Not. Have. It. he is good role player, very nice kid, wont cause problems, is local. we are lucky to have him. but there is no upside there.
I think it makes no sense to have a freshman and a sophmore starting over a capable junior ans senior. Worst post.

... but it's gotten to the point where I'm shocked if he doesn't turn it over or miss a shot when he touches it, and it's not just the small sample size from this year. In particular, his habit of driving and getting into the air with absolutely no idea what he wants to do, resulting in either a TO or charge, is baffling...
