Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 4539028, member: 86"] So I just got a chance to watch the whole game…was vacationing in Austin last week. Brown is just very active and he presents himself well as an easy target. He finds “that” space that makes it easy for the passer. That’s intuition and feel and simply cannot be taught. He’s still finding his way defensively on the wing, but I’ll take that overall trade off. Great finisher. I thought Jessie held his ground better when he got pushed. Still needs to get stronger base which will help him finish. Bacot is going to be really physical with him. Cannot overstate what a luxury Hima is. There is relative little overall loss when he comes in because he really challenges shots the way Jessie can’t afford to. Joe was just incredible. My favorite plays by him were two back screens that he set for Maliq and Jessie freeing them up for easy baskets. Just a tremendous overall game by him. He answered every run by GT. I never in a million years thought I’d see him have success with a backdown game, but he really has been excellent doing that. Backdown Joe > Logo Joe. Really happy for Judah. That film session from the Miami game had to be a painful humbling experience. He played like someone who learned from it. Really would like him to shoot 300 Fts s day. He can live at the line, but he needs to shoot better from there for coach to call his number in crunch time. Thought Q gave us excellent minutes, and his effort is always there. Dives on the floor, does some dirty work and really can shake an opposing SF off the bounce. He was great in the press making good rotations. Benny and Bell struggled. Benny is now approaching freshman Fab Melo on leash length. There’s no sense arguing the starting role for him….he’s got to play really well to keep Brown on the bench. Bell got yanked early 2nd and had a mini fit. Glad JB put him right back in. He just wasn’t effective. We know the issues he has rebounding, but what drives me crazy is his inability to trap in the corner. There were two times Saturday where the zone corner trap was “right there”. He didn’t close on either. I think that’s what git JB mad. Maliq, Q and JT all seem better at that aspect of the zone. Sy was okay…JT just couldn’t get going. He’s going to have games like that. But I bet Taylor has a really good game tomorrow. We’re gonna get open looks. [/QUOTE]
