More Symir

[AlaskaSU]

Symir and Judah both have 14 net point per 40 averages. They have vastly different weaknesses. Symir is not a big scorer but he is more careful with the ball. With Judah, all too often the ball sticks in his hands and that is not good for team psychology especially when his shooting percentage is nothing special. In games where he has high assists he tends to also have a high number of turnovers. For a team that generally is a poor rebounding team turnovers hurt. Judah is excellant at steals. At crunch time he falls apart. I'd like to see playing time more balanced between Symir and Judah. We are not going dancing. Therefore, we have freedom to explore.

Compared to many other coaches, JB let's his players have offensive freedom. He also does not micromanage their behavior, or what the ncaa calls lack of institutional control. This worked fine when we had talented players that were NBA ready; With current players this style works not so much. Too often individual players settle for bad shots. If we can't rebound we have to have a better shooting percentage and we cannot afford turnovers.

I agree that Sy needs more minutes but would prefer they come at the expense of Judah AND Joe. Sy brings the intangibles that some do not such as a flatfooted lack of tough minded defense and quickness that creates big gaps in our zone. He deserves and earns more minutes And should alternate with Judah and Joe.The balance he demonstrates is a much needed change of pace during games.
