Johns would be a really exciting player if he was a freshman

It definitely did to some extent. Only so much you can score on ancillary action. Franz isnāt gonna be a 1st team guy only scoring on spot-ups and cuts.
Ouch. Maybe stay away from that area
The whole team ate butter fingers during that last TV timeout

How many truly unforced turnovers?
Lot of things for Juwan to talk about at halftime.

Maybe not ball screen, but more on ball certainly seemed to be the premise and we arenāt seeingā¦any of that yet? We also arenāt seeing the improved shooting either but itās early.
This was from your (awesome) Franz write-up. So far, Iād say his scoring upside isnāt really growing exponentially partially because the actions themselves arenāt there.
āThis year, Juwan Howard will have to draw up more on-ball actions such as ball screens and dribble hand-offs for Wagner ā something we rarely saw last season. If Wagner can consistently get to the rim as a ball screen creator, or Howard can design a dribble hand-off package that lets him get downhill, his scoring upside starts to grow exponentially.ā
Agreed. Heās made progress. The highs are higher. But still frustratingly inconsistent.
JB is watching at home and pulling out what little hair he has left with these turnovers. Good grief.
I just buzzed my head this morning or Iād be pulling out mine.

This team really cannot function with no Mike Smith. Would be a season of tears if he had not transferred over.

Eli with the ball in his hands just gives me nightmares
Eli Brooks has 1 assist and 5 turnovers
Yeah, but thereās no on-ball offense against a zone. So thatās kind of irrelevant today. I think heāll still show plenty of that, and what weāve seen thus far is that itāll be more of a DHO/slashing game from the side.
I just donāt think that one game where he left injured and a game against a junk zone is enough to draw any leaping conclusions.

How about we donāt effing auto bench our PG with 2 fouls
Lol right it was a bad JB game if we had more than 8 turnovers the whole gameā¦Eli may have that himself in the first half!
What an awful first half!! I thought this team was going to be real good but after seeing this not so sure anymore. Just terrible offense and defense not good either.
