Everything you said with Autry/JJ is spot on.

My take is that Autry is just a very one dimensional and stubborn coach, he see's a scouting report that there are starting Sr guards on the other team and Freshman Guards rotating in.  He's automatically going with JJ no matter how bad he is playing and then he's bringing in Kiyan when the younger bench guards rotate in.

Honestly Kiyan isn't strong enough yet to win on both ends against Senior guards that are more physical so there is some merit to that thought process to start the game, but once the game is rolling he needs to adjust.  We've seen time and again JJ space out, really all our guards.

The big difference in my mind though is that a Freshman like Kiyan getting the ball ripped away in the lane or taking a wild shot or not finishing does not derail the team the same way as when JJ dribbles the ball off his foot or misses a terrible shot.  Kiyan is not the answer but JJ's mins and shots need to get dispersed to Kiyan and Betsey so they can at least try to make a play.  Not even going to talk about George because if he plays like he's been playing we're sunk no matter what.

There is so much momentum given to the other team when your Seniors and Point Guards make dumb plays.
