So my earlier post in this thread was based on watching the atrocious first half... After watching the second half my assessment is that anyone who watches that 2nd half and is relieved by it is wearing major league orange blinders glasses.

Three things changed from half one to half two... SU's on ball pressure picked up immensely, SU begin to make it's size advantage count inside and wore Pace down and the ridiculous low percentage iso ball shots that weren't falling in the first half began to fall in the 2nd.  So unless White is indeed the next coming of Hakim Warrick (he actually might be) or we are going to be able to run our offense through Kyle, I don't see anything that happened in the 2nd half that makes me believe they can beat teams when they don't have an athletic advantage. The offense was still iso ball and the defence was still "stay in front of your man" because there is no secondary help.

Again props to Autry... the talent is much better. But to beat the dead horse the in game coaching is negative WAR and this is against a D2 team.

FWIW I love White and think he has the most upside of anyone on the team... if he can show any sort of handle and his shooting stroke is legit then he's gonzo after this year. He's a prototypical NBA stretch 4.
