Why Jingles over Shannon?

Wasn’t Shannon just cleared for 5 on 5 a day or so ago?

He’s probably not ready yet.

Naw is such a love/hate guy.

At the end of the day, unfortunately we move on from him.

That’s what I thought, but they said he is available.

We need experience here. If people believe we will win this one with only our young players they dream. Joe got passing and fit well with Rudy , Mike.
I agree young guys have to develop but we try to win. And our youngs except Clark are awful in défense.

So our top four scorers in no particular order are Ant, DDV, Naz, Randle. Ant is clear #1. DDV or Randle are probably #2 and #3. We are playing a very bad team who is shooting very well. I expect us to blow them out in the 2nd half, but I do appreciate the challenge we face without those 3 guys.

Ingles is bad at defense, slow, and not especially useful on offense except when left open for catch and shoot. Minott is better off the drive, better at rebounding, better at defense (even with his lapses,) and has the bonus of needing the minutes. Miller over Garza also feels obvious. Dilly should play more as Mike is not playing as well, and Shannon can find minutes if healthy.

Agree real challenge. We will need 20 from Jaden and Naz and a couple more from Rudy, Rob , Naw and Mike if we want to get this one. Go wolves !

Offense by committee for sure. But I also think we need to turn defense into offense. We must take care of the ball and turn them over (especially live ball.)

NAW should stop creating for himself. Can he just spot up? That aint hard to do

Yeah. He’s available in that he’s not injured. But I doubt we play him until he’s at least had a few full practices.

Now we lost our 4th best offensive player.

Take conley out man. Finch is so stubborn

_AIJ_ · Post #35 » by **_AIJ_** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 2:29 am

Why did we extend this useless conley again?

What the F*? Wiz just doesn't miss much from 3s

BlacJacMac · Post #37 » by **BlacJacMac** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 2:30 am

Dilly badly outplaying Conley and has played half the minutes.

Last year Mike was great. This year he is playing with a bad wrist and has hit the age wall. He is being over used and it is showing. We need Dilly on the floor instead. We also gotta have more structure in the offense to get lobs for Rudy and attacks downhill for Jaden. This is an example of being shorthanded and poorly coached. Not a good combination.
