Nwora Was Off Today But

[shadow force]

He was the leading rebounder with 8 rebs. Also got 3 assists. Always like to see a guy contributing in other ways if his shot isn't falling.

And he didn't try to force his shot too much today.

Cards won.
All that matters.
Just makes you deeper when your soon to be 2nd best player doesnt step up against in the big games.

I love it when U of L beats Duke!​

He needs to move more away from the ball. He curls and if he isn't open, he stands there. He must continue to move or teams will continue to shut him down.

Yeah I didn't like seeing that from him. It seemed like he was sulking or frustrated but at least this time he helped out in other areas.

Heroball may work against EKU or whoever, but won't against Top 25 talent. Great game by this team tonight, I love the toughness they are finally showing at the end of games and that is going to serve them well in March.

Nwora is what he is at this point. He’s a lethal shooter and scorer. But he really can’t do more than score.

But when the other pieces step up, he can just score while everyone else picks up the slack. Relying on him too much I think hurt is early on as the team looked too much to him to do everything, tonight we had everyone contribute and we didn’t need him.

I just hate the way he stands around on offense when things arent going his way. If he would cut hard without the ball, he might free himself up for some easy buckets that get him going, but he chooses to stand on the perimeter. This is the next step for him as a player IMO.

With dj’s emergence it’s gonna free Nwora up and I think that’s exactly what he needs

If this team can get the parts to play how they did last night, it's going to be a massive tough out if he gets hot in March. That requires everything to align for the team and for him too, but maybe it can happen.

I don't have any facts to support, but I kind of like him playing alongside Williams more than Enoch, I think Malik feels a little more comfortable kicking a pass out from the paint. Of course Enoch needs to play. But maybe staggering Nwora/Enoch a little more may help both of them. And as others have mentioned the emergence of DJ and Kimble just adds playmakers and forces teams to leave Nwora and that's the recipe.

The best thing that will happen for Nwora is David Johnson. You cannot crowd Nwora as much when David Johnson is causing such havoc in the lane against guards that cannot control him thus more open threes opportunities from each corner.
