Last 4 games - 15.8 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 4.5 app and 1.8 spg. Off the bench but 26.2 mpg. The per 40 on that is 24/9.5/6.9/2.7. Also with a 2.5 to 1 A/T ratio.

Really curious how he can impact in a game like tonight’s

He's also leading our team in rebounding.

Which is insane. Not sure how much of a formula for success that is but it's impressive.

Copeland has set new career highs in something like 3 or 4 of the last 5 games.

And his ascent has coincided with Benny playing a lot better in that same stretch.

We're a much better team with them playing at a high level, with exponentially greater upside. Hope they show it again tonight, @ Puke.

Yeah what’s interesting I will say is that with Benny also playing better we are rebounding much better over our past 3 games as a measure of our rebounding pct. Hopefully that continues

He seemed to shutdown the 25 year old on Pitt in the second half. Maybe Red will have him lock onto someone tonight with the same result.

Copeland is such a unique player. He can impact a game a ton when playing well and is a tough matchup. He’s figuring things out now on both ends and doing so quickly. He should be the kind of player who can make a difference in a game like this. Looking forward to it. One thing about tonight is that there isn’t much this team hasn’t faced this year yet given our schedule including a tough conference foe on the road.

Benny and Quadir playing well and staying on the court adds a lot of size to our small-ball lineup and really helps Maliq. Rebounding by committee.

Past results matter little but Both Benny and Judah have had some big games vs Duke… just the end results that sucked and need to change.

 

[Red Holzman]

I know nothing...
but wonder if Cope's joy for the game and positive attitude has been a factor in helping Benny do the same.
A team having fun and playing together is dangerous -and capable of upsets as a 14pt dog.

 

[Sbucketball]

Our rebounding differential is -0.9, including the Tenn and Gonzaga games, which were -15 and -25 respectively. Those are tough games that most other ACC teams didn't experience in the non-con that are dragging down the averages. Our rebounding isn't good, but maybe it won't be horrible as we move forward. Currently Pitt has the best rebounding differential in the ACC at +8.9, and we were just +1 against them.

Very deserving

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Good for him. Proving me wrong.

 

[HoustonCuse]

That's awesome! Can't say I would have guessed this would happen before the season started!

When Benny got fouled near the end of the game, Q put his arm around Benny and walked him to the free-throw line. Probably giving words of encouragement.




Then Benny missed both but the gesture was pretty cool.

 

[Scooch]

So great! There will be moments when I know I’ll scream at the TV over something he does… but I love the guy’s energy and heart. This team needs that badly.

Satalin was saying on the radio after the Pitt game that this summer he figured Copeland was still a year out and he was amazed how his game developed.

Love Cope. His attitude is infectious and he's always engaged. I also think that with the chops he's running these days, he needs to be starring in a 1970s detective show.

We've been missing this type of player for awhile too. Its fun to watch

He's a joker too.

 

[cuseincincy]

What impresses me is that Copeland isnt doing a thing that many people thought he would/could. But he's doing it a lot earlier in his career than I thought possible and most impressively to me is that he is doing it with the current roster construction. If he starts to hit jump shots his potential is almost limitless. I'm part of the crowd that is starting to think Bell and Taylor would be great instant offense options off the bench. As is, Q is a great change of pace when he comes in.

 

[stuckinbig11]

and he is having fun

 

[Cusefan0307]

Maybe GMac can identify talent after all.
