Needs work on his on ball defense. Great shooting stroke. Think he ended up with around 15 points. Bowen as impressive. 27 points with a bunch of threes. Langford on the New Albany, only a junior, hit for 40 and was the best player on the floor. Pitino and Self were in the crowd.
I didn’t realize this because I missed the start of the game but Poole tweeted out a box score after and he comes off the bench??? Behind Isaiah Coleman-Lands (Jalen’s little brother)…anyone have a clue why that’s happening, Coleman-Lands is a consensus 3 star much smaller player with no major offers other than Creighton and Poole looked wayyy better last night when I was watching even though he played less minutes
It might be a dynamic thing. I wouldn’t get hung up on starting for a team like La Lu for Poole. If Poole is getting his minutes, it is likely just a strategy by the coach for one reason of another
I heard a game or two ago his coach flipped out on him during the game. Maybe it was a punishment thing.
Or maybe it’s just to have a second unit guy that is a spark so they don’t lose their level of play when they sub.
I would guess it’s some sort of punishment. You only play 32 minutes in high school. Very little need for subbing. Certainly no issues with staggering minutes.
I think that shot looked a little weird only because he had to put more effort into it to get shot to the rim. That was deep, it was a catch and shoot, and he had no forward momentum.
