Watching the game again, we missed like 7 gimmie lay ups at the rim. 3 or 4 of those off nice Paolo passes. We got to clean that up. Layup practice.

Paolo's passing and defense have improved so much I could weep.

He will make the court smaller for the team though cuz unlike WCJ, opponents know he wont chuck 3s so they will pack it in.

Hers hoping the defense offsets that.


Teams are leaving WCJr "wide open" for his 3s. They're giving that shot to him. He's not really stretching anything.


Then let WCJ pay. What we really hate is that he does those head-fakes and not shoot it. HE has range.

I see that too. Franz too...I'm hoping both just pull up with confidence a bit more this year...that'd put Franz up over 20ppg quickly

This is pretty impressive.

I didn’t think a squad with Paolo and Carter as it’s front court could be top 10 but here we are.

For as much as people want to **** on Suggs offense, he is a very large reason why this is the case.
