Yeah, he's looking unsure what he is trying to do.
I mean, the lack of rim protection is so obvious.  And so far has been ignored.

I get that he wants to build chemistry, but these guys are too flawed to play that many minutes and not give up a million points.

We need to be able to press. We need to inject energy and effort, play more depth, keep the guys fresh and working hard.

We need to pull guys after 2 mistakes (not 1, like JB), because every possession counts. It's usually the difference between winning and losing, if you're the team with the 10 extra possessions.

We need a zone.  When you have a 7-4 center, how do you NOT play zone for 4 minutes a half?  I mean, seriously!

Fixable, but things are disappointing right now, for sure.

JJ and Bell seemed a bit overwhelmed with the pressure they feel to be the key guys.

Lampkin embraces it, but tries too hard to create things offensively, and is a toreador on defense.

Not a good mix right now.

Lucas Taylor is not quite good enough to be who we need him to be.  Neither is Moore, neither is Freeman.

They're going to get punched in the mouth in NYC.  That happened in last year's tournament, too.
