James at the 1 starting Tuesday makes too much sense.
Our D is elite and offense can be scary. I think Kon needs to stop passing up shots and coop needs to focus more on driving.. both are seeming to do what the other should do at times. Kon does add a lot more then just scoring though.. reading some of the post from halftime till the half way point in the 2nd half are a little embarrassing toward him.
Great win against a good team, glad to hold love to whatever he ended with and hope he and Steve Robinson cry together all night
It was a great win. Great D down the stretch and Flagg had much more poise down the stretch. Still, the flaws are there. Big test of that Tuesday.
The problems noted for Kon remain. He finally came through with some great 3s at the end. Super clutch. But he turned the ball over on multiple drives - either getting blocked or putting up a poor, forced shot. He just doesn’t have the quickness at this level. His game has to be the 3 with only an occasional drive if the middle is wide open. But he is too much of a one-on-one ball hog. Against teams with better physicality (size, speed, quickness) he won’t be effective with that.
I still think playing a front line of Maluach, Flagg, and Brown for stretches with Sion and any of the other 3 guards would be a forceful D because Brown and Flagg can guard the 2-3-4 (even the 1 in some situations) and their length will give teams a lot of trouble.
But Scheyer—simply mimicking K—seems locked into Brown purely as a backup to Maluach. It seems like Jon struggles to move outside the box.
I also think more of Evans and Harris at some point in the first half of games has to happen. Get their feet wet and who knows.
I don’t think it’s a clear about Gillis. Depends on the match up for him. But he also didn’t get a lot of minutes.
Last night was ostensibly a 7 man rotation. Scheyer has the same flaw (imo) that K has of not playing his bench. I think that will bite us if he’s running freshmen out there 35-40 minutes and going 2 deep.
