The shooting WILL be better next half right?

Charles ain’t staying. Like literally 0% chance.

Now to get Poole and Charles on track.

Both pitinos look like Dracula and nosferatu respectively

On Eli, that was great effort on D against Kauscher there

I’ll never hate on his effort and his effort is A plus. It’s just I was Eli Brooks in terms of the plusses but also the minuses. When he’s looking for his offense at least once in a while, it’s very different. Just seems he’s not looking at all right now and that’s not a great situation.

I get that but I’m not sure where he’ll be going at this point

Someone would transfer. I’m not going to suggest names during the season.

I’m rooting my ass off for him to get where he wants to go, but the trajectory isn’t ideal right now

I can’t imagine we continue to be ice cold from three at home for an entire game. Making just 2 more would have us below our 3pt shooting average but still in the lead.

He has a floor of a 2nd round pick. Honestly his struggles to be a go to guy mean nothing to his draft prospects. His way to the NBA is being a lockdown Defender and developing a jump shot. That’s it

I agree. I watched him score 2400 points in high school. I know he can score. It just looks like he’s the 5th option. I think he needs to shoot as well. He can easily give this team 8 to 10 pts a game. I’m not sure if its confidence or something else.

Zavier Simpson is 0-of-4 from the floor with 0 assists in 16 minutes.

The scouting report is out on him. You can’t play base ball screen D and let him tear you up with the pass. Minnesota going under everything and negating him.

Ever since Iggy talked $hit last week, he/this team’s O has been garbage…weird how that works. Maybe now he’ll learn to quit yappin and just play effin basketball.

Right but he hasn’t developed the jumper. He’s a lockdown defender who will be undersized for his position in the league. There’s far better players than Charles who haven’t made it to the NBA.

I’m rooting for the kid, love his toughness, attitude and skill. But I don’t know how you could watch him over the last month and feel confident that his floor is a 2nd round pick. Hope I’m wrong, lot of season left!

The shooting situation in the first half.

In fairness he has had some excellent inside out passes and the shooters went ofer on open looks. So he sits with 0 assists but thats not on him.

This league is all about adjustments as word gets out. Just have to adapt better.
