It's going to be tough on a back-to-back in the altitude, but all I want is effort and growth. The first two games so far has me executed as heck.

Terribly scrappy 1st. Skal needs to stay aggressive, actually all of them need to be aggressive.
Would be nice to grab a rebound at some stage too.
No one should be tired from last night, it’s early in the season and it’s not like anyone played 40 minutes so no excuses.

It's so strange. I didn't think the defense would be not too bad and the offense would be this ghastly.

Man.... that was one of the most excrutiating offensive games I've watched in a long time. Fox sure is interesting though. His quickness is unreal.

That was agonising to watch.
There doesn’t even seem like an offensive system, there’s no timing between players, no spacing, no urgency. Really is poor of the coaching staff not to have something a little more set in concrete.
There isn’t any reason they don’t, they are a new team, but it doesn’t take that long to show some semblance of a system.
The worst part of it was seeing the ball go into the post to Randolph time and time again and everyone just stand around.
There really wasn’t any movement without the ball, no penetration from the guards, heck out bigs were more aggressive going to the hoop from the top of the key and when they ran Horns.
Part of the problem is these guys are trying to be too unselfish, and I hope that’s all it is because that could be a huge positive, however there isn’t anyone willing to take control, except Fox.
He needs to play between 28 and 36 minutes a night until he burns out a little because he is THE guy. We need to give him the ball more and stop playing him as a 2. Play Hill off ball to set him up with 3s. It gives us much better spacing.
Willie needs to take those jumpers and Skal just needs the vets to keep in his ear telling him to be aggressive.
KK should only play 6-10 minutes, Randolph around 18-22 with the second unit.
Shouldn’t have taken that long to put Malachi in there either, he has proven he can contribute when given a chance so either give him one or move him on because he should be in the rotation.

I would have liked to see Sampson earlier. He’s our only “energy” player. It wouldn’t have changed the outcome, but in a night where the team can’t throw a ball into the ocean, energy is all we needed. First back to back, I’m willing to leave it at that. What’s funny is that the young guys (Fox and Skal) played well. Buddy should have been benched earlier. I’m all for him, but would have liked to see Fox and Hill out of the half.

Curious selection and rotation after the better show the night before, seems like the coach has little idea of what he has.

Or little idea how to incorporate his wings into the offense. It's as if he's stuck in a Memphis mindset where his bigs and PG are the only real beneficiaries of spacing for driving or paint touches.
