Matt Cross
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
He was in there taking shots in the chops last night. Most of those rebounds were just all ❤
Dude plays hard and is a banger. Seems like every shot is a miss. He had 13 points but it sure feels that way.
I'll say this, both Cross and Withers looked much more engaged in this game than they have in a while. Withers showed a lot more of a pulse and even had a key block to send the game to OT.
Be great to see Sam have something in the sets to get him going other than a look at a 3.
Hell,just imagine if there were 2 or 3 guys having a night like Ellis.
Man,I am well documented on how I feel about this. It's great to see Ellis go off like he does,but if he's on the point in the middle of a shooting night like he had the other night....he likely will do what we saw again.
There were a couple of possessions when he kicked it out but only a couple.
Whoever is running the point has the role of trying to get everybody involved.
And it's kinda what I mean when I talk about the set play. It may be the only way we get Sam involved. Run the play specifically for him.
Yeah we run that curl for Sam maybe one every 3 games? Otherwise Sam has to try and create his own shot, which is either a floater or a turn around fade away. Neither are either consistent.
And there it is. I haven't given up on this team finishing strong,but not without more balanced scoring.
After the game Cross and Dre were out on the floor taking shots. Love the attitude.
Cross had same make up as Hancock. Has to get quicker on D. I think his ceiling is pretty high it will just take time to develop.
I've missed a few games but I have seen no comparison to Hancock. Would be nice, however.
They are both "crafty, high basketball IQ, and can be sneaky with their athleticism and hurt you in ways you don't expect. They'll both definitely be coaches someday."
