Killian passing up an open layup to try to lob to Stewart and throws it away.

Killian shaking that thumb its obviously bothering him. Not sure why he is playing through a thumb injury and Grant is off for 6 weeks for one.

I can't recall a player who has uglier looking misses than Killian tbh. When he's off he's WAY off.

Yup, his 3 pt % isn't even horrible this year, but he sometimes misses them so bad... airballs and absolute bricks that aren't close. It's really strange to see.

Mcgruder and Lyles on the floor.

Real growth this season. Awesome. Glad all the draft picks are playing, like Garza, Pickett, Livers, e.t.c.

Diallo with a great help side block. Cade's teammates have gotten him nice open 3's the last to times down and he misses both. Both looked good just a bit off. Good to see him getting open catch and shoot looks from teammates off their penetration.

Why is Cade Cunningham playing the power forward position?

What in the absolute **** is going on with this team? Casey is the worst coach I have ever seen.

It still feels like Josh Jackson should be getting some of Grant's minutes not sure why he can't get off the bench. He hasn't been good for us but also has been better than Lyles.

The old Trey Lyles + Cade Cunningham front court. Twin towers.

Saben Lee
Frank Jackson
Rodney McGruder
Cade Cunningham
Trey Lyles

Casey may have dementia. There is no excuse for this, in any universe when the team has legitimate options to play at certain positions.

I have no words.

Cade passes to Lyles, who is standing 3 feet in front of him, facing him. Lyles fumbles the ball. They count it as a turnover on Cade. This is why Cade's TO numbers are inaccurate. He makes alot of lazy passes in the lane, but his teammates fumble the ball and it counts against him. It happens quite a bit.
