Officially game day thread- ACC game 1! Duke vs Lville

Any chance Mal is a 2 year guy like Mark? Long year and all, but he's going to start sliding unless his play picks up. He has upside of course but he seems a step slow right now.
Right now, he's probably still taken high on potential. I do believe he will break out this year, though.

I am okay with Kon tonight. Yes, he missed a ton but hit two big shots from 3. But that's what I want from our "shooters." That's what I want from Evans. You in the game, you get an open look like that, let it go. HAVE to get your shooters attempts.
Agree with this it puts pressure on defense. We don't want bad shooters putting up shots but I want Kon, Proctor and Evans letting it go

Ugly win and still found way to cover thanks to a couple timely three's by Kon and Brown and James playing like animals.

I know Mal is a project but geez for someone 7'2 he disappears. Is it our players aren't looking for him? Or our system doesn't benefit his style?

Hopefully we have an easy game on Tuesday because that's a quick turn around.
You answered your own question. Duke playing five out doesn’t suit Mals size and not looking for him down low or on the lob . Kinda hard to guard down low when opposing teams don’t have a true center . You’re starting to see the same effect with Kansas and Hunter . Someone you think should be easily averaging 15 and ten isn’t .

I didn’t follow this thread this evening so I might repeat…

I’ve said it this be about the 4th time, Mal is a 10-12 minute player. He just doesn’t bring anything to the table. Please don’t say blocks and altered shots. That’s not true.

When and if Brown starts, the slow starts will end.

We are WAY better with Brown.

Good win tonight, Louisville finally cooled down!
