But Joe got his shots and didn't make very many.We will lose every single game jesse takes 6 shots.

The 6 he took were mostly terrible too. He had no answer for Colgate's physicality, which is obviously terrifying with what's to come.Agreed, but that was on Jesse last night. He fumbled so many passes and rebounds it was like watching Chukwu all over again.
he has a shot fixation- if he doesn't hoist something up after a few trips you can see his brain switch to "I need to get a shot up" which is usually when he fires up his off balance or too deep and too soon heaves. He (and the whole team) is bad on D, but we need to run sets for him and get him looks, and he is the only kid on the team that can feed the post and Jesse needs 10-15 shots a night or we are doomed.I have no problem if Joe is fully squared up and just misses. That's simply being a human being. What I can't deal with are his off-balance/contorted nonsense shots, of which there were several last night.
My favorite is when someone else starts getting hot and he decides it's time for his own heat check.he has a shot fixation- if he doesn't hoist something up after a few trips you can see his brain switch to "I need to get a shot up" which is usually when he fires up his off balance or too deep and too soon heaves.

The 2-1 layup he missed down 12 in the second half was huge. Then he chucked up a knockout style three from the corner, it was a clanker.But Joe got his shots and didn't make very many.
Much like Jon Bol, we will never know how good we could have been if only Ethan Cole had gotten more minutes.Igor was awesome. The Iggy awards are named after him. Few had such a way with words. He was famous for stirring the pot with exorbitant claims. One of his best was staying that certain players were "getting Boeheimed" and our best talents were rotting on the bench.
Your Job Bol Ajak comment was in that spirit.

It's like bizarro NBA Jam.
To be fair, they mostly abused our man to man too. That's why we switched to zone in the first place. Zone may have ended up being worse though.Why practice man-to-man if you're not going to use it when a team is abusing the zone?
Again, the worst that could happen is that you'll lose badly.
But that's already happening.
Honestly I think his shot selection was worse in the first game. He's going to have to take and make movement 3's for us to win, and that's mostly what they were last night. The first game had him attempting insane shots where he got stuck picking his dribble up and didn't know what to do.I have no problem if Joe is fully squared up and just misses. That's simply being a human being. What I can't deal with are his off-balance/contorted nonsense shots, of which there were several last night.
That was a huge sequence - as soon as Mintz passed it to him after Joe tipped it away from the Gate kid I said, no chance he makes that and then the rushed 3. Egads.The 2-1 layup he missed down 12 in the second half was huge. Then he chucked up a knockout style three from the corner, it was a clanker.
Some might say he would have been the greatest college center of the ESPN era and would have won 2 of the next 3 Wooden awards.Much like Jon Bol, we will never know how good we could have been if only Ethan Cole had gotten more minutes.
I gave you the haha emoji for the new avatar.It's not an unusual trait by any means, but the only Syracuse player I've ever seen do this as much as Girard does was Deshaun Williams.
