He gone.
19 points on 4-5 from three.

Liked Tyus tonight. He was good in the zone, the outside shot is nice, was unselfish, and he was more comfortable with his penetration in the 2nd half. We need him for 32+mpg this year.
He needs to do this against a good team. We've seen him play well against cupcakes.
Frank has dominated against poor teams, but going through his game log last year and this year he hasn't done really anything against a top 100 team.
I'm with you. Starting Battle tonight was more about moving Lydon to the 4 than it was anything else, but I'm glad Tyus took advantage. It's hard not to like the offensive potential of the starting 5, but the top of the zone needs to get better and the rebounding needs to be there. It's baffling becuaes individually, each of those 5 guys look good playing the zone (except DC); but for some reason the results aren't thereAs a few of us were saying, Tyus is used to playing big minutes (and starting). He needed to get into the flow. This game was a huge building block for him. White is obviously a 3 not a 2 and Lydon is a 4. This puts everyone in their natural positions.
Roberson is on the outside looking in. I won't shed a tear. He's still a poor offensive player. Why can't he ever go up strong inside and finish? And his shooting is still not very good. One of the more enigmatic, frustrating players we've had. Even today, he did bring great effort, but the results were not there.
Absolutely loved this switch out of JB! Battle is not a good shooter, but a great shooter. Roberson was offering nothing on offense, his presence and knowledge of the zone is valuable, but the one thing I will say that gives battle even more of an advantage is that he plays an active guard in the zone, better than White who is suited more at the 3.

Both you and jdubs are right. And it's crystal clear White is not a 2-guard. Was even before the season but that's not important now.It was about starting 2 actual guards and putting White at the forwards who spots minutes at the guard spot.

He hasn't had all that many chances. Last year he was not given a chance to get on a roll. So far, he had South Carolina and Wiskys . Let's give him a chance.Frank has dominated against poor teams, but going through his game log last year and this year he hasn't done really anything against a top 100 team.

Just wait until Battle starts terrorizing guards up top. It will happen. Hope we break out that guards trap up top. He will really love that. Instant offense.
They have to defend his three-pointer now, so that should open up his drives for him.Best thing this season is starting Battle IMO. Best defender up top right now and percdntage wise best 3pt shooter. Can't wait till he plays to his strength as. Driving, pulling up and running.
I think he does need more of a chance and I'm not against it at all, just pointing out what I've seen and won't put unrealistic expectations on the kid.
Howard scored 10 pts against #20 South Carolina. In 24 minutes. Not bad right?

So we just go by points scored to determine if one played well or not?
He looked poor that game and it isn't difficult to see that.
