Game 22: Ohio State at Michigan Open Thread

How does Teske being guarded by an undersized 4 not create opportunities?

Huh? I was saying two of his misses were in and out

He can’t establish position close to the basket somehow.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

I love Teske, but that … that is utterly insane.

Defender reads the play and takes Teske’s spot before he can set up.

Only undersized in height, young, Liddell and Wesson are strong as hell and teske gets horrific post position. They are out leveraging him.

Just joking. I thought many of his shots were pretty far off target despite hitting rim.

If you told me that last year I’d have been excited to have Iggy and Poole back!

He has 5 plus inches on Young and cant score over him? That is troubling.

What do you guys think is Franzs problem regarding shooting? I have wondered if he is rushing it too much. Remember how slow (and effective) Mo’s shooting motion was?

His form doesn’t seem very technically sound.

Hopefully the ball starts cooperating with the basket

It seems almost like a little kid throwing it up sometimes. I don’t remember thinking that when he was being recruited.

To me it looks like he still is a reluctant shooter, thinks too much before pulling the trigger. Johns Jr was the same earlier in the year now he just takes the shot and we are seeing better results.

I don’t see the form issues people are saying. I’d put half of it as breaking his wrist, 25% a small sample, and 25% moving to a new country

He can’t score over them because they are knocking him off the block, best post defenders are often smaller stout guys(chuck Hayes, draymond, Rodman etc.) that use leverage to get guys off their spots.

Yeah, maybe his wrist his stiff?

Regardless, I am very impressed with Franz. I think he is going to awesome in the end.
