Identity

[rockycard]

This team has no identity, kinda hard to watch at times.

 

[BPGhost]

After Adel next two best players are the freshman Nwora and Perry.

King looks more and more Blackshearian every time he suits up.

 

[rockycard]

I really like Nwora, and agree about Perry.

 

[Cue Card]

King is playing well on defense, but his offense is hard to watch. He needs to move without the ball more. He also needs to stop shot hunting. If he ever lets the game come to him, he'll be a whole lot better.

Sutton, Perry, Nwora, and Williams will be the main players off the bench. We will go a good 9 deep. I am curious why we haven't seen McMahon yet.

King is still afraid of failure. He made a great spin move into a short, in the paint shot and he pulled the string. At the moment of truth he held back. When he made the good spin move, he was full throttle, confident in the move. He still hasn't got past the mental part of major college hoops.

Anas is still hesitant on offense and Ray is trying too hard to be that potential. Snider needs to get off the ball and let Perry set up his 3 pt shot. Williams better get it in his head he has to perform inside before taking a bunch of 3's. If we had Jaylen Johnson he could play the 3 more, but we don't.

This team has no chemistry or identity on offense. They still have played only two games and 1 half. It's a good thing we didn't have tough matchups early or we would be 2-3.

Nice second half effort.

 

[Cue Card]

I like the potential this team has. Lots of talent at every position. Really good defensive effort tonight.

 

[CardVille]

Love watching these guys. Played great tonight [2nd half] against a good team.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Looks like they will play with more freedom offensively. And give up more layups defensively.

Hard to really know how this team will respond against legit teams.

The identity to me is pretty obvious, it's Adel's team. When the team gets in trouble they will be going to him I assume.

Is he still hurt or, do you think he’s transferring?

Didn't realize he had been hurt, and I sure hope he isn't going to transfer. The Redding kid came in tonight and I thought it was McMahon. I need better glasses. LOL.

McMahon is still hurt. Hopes to be ready for Purdue game. Would like to see this Friday against St. Francis.

A lot of what you said was evident early but lighten up. We won by 42 points. CDP is trying different lineups and mixing it up. Tonight was the first night we employed a zone and it worked pretty well.

Honestly the returners may need to make the biggest adjustments. The returners may believe they have already earned their time but that was under Pitino. Snider has good court vision but it takes him time to execute. Perry already has a knack of seeing the play before it develops. Nwora and Sutton may end up getting more minutes than King because they are not looking for their shots and are hustling on D, which led to points.

Yikes. It’s only the 3rd game with a new coach and a lot of new and flowing pieces.

Easy Debbie Downer. They beat a pretty tough but cagey team by 42. David surely saw your post.

After I started this thread, the team looked totally different than they had been. Maybe Padgett used this for bulletin board material at halftime. Lol

Lol - the only way I knew it wasn’t RM is because the Redding kid has enough hair on his face to pass for a beard. Don’t think McMahon has that in his playbook yet.
