Defensive rotations are awful which tells me this team doesnt talk at all.

And on offense cannot make a 3 pointer to save their lives.

as a means of coping i’m wondering if there’s a reasonable path to this team being all that much better. unfortunately, i am a tiny-brained basketball baby so it is a question to which i have no answer

Grit and passion just minimal so often

It’s not even a bad-but-fun-or-lovable kind of bad team.

No one cuts or moves off ball.

it’s interesting that one of the things i thought after the europe trip was “hey, at least they’ll all be super close and that’ll help their chemistry!” and so far, uh, the proof has not presented itself

its becoming more and more clear, juwan is a poor defensive coach, needs to get his own donlon/yaklich

Embarrassingly so.

Also seems like a team that has no confidence. Doesnt look like a single player has any belief in their skills or coaching or teammates. Just everyone going through the motions.

We’re wasting a spot on Martelli right now

My god. This is a bad defensive team. TWill slow to contest, switch, rotate.

I keep wondering what coach saw in the Llewellyn that he did not see in Collins? Because for a grad transfer with tons of minutes under his belt he sure seems like a step backwards.

This is going to feel like a really long season isn’t it?

In the spirit of creative solutions,

Could this team just go all in on Jett and Hunter actions and scheme up 30 shots a game for both? Liddell/Branham style?

Just a repeat of last year

at some point if you have tournament hopes and JL is still a disaster you might need to go

Bufkin - Dug
Baker - Bufkin
Jett - Baker - Barnes
TWill - Jett - Tschetter
HD - Reed

With all due respect what has Bufkin done to justify playing so much at the expense of anyone else. All our guards have been pretty bad this year, and we need to play them because we have 3. But it’s not like Bufkin has been good

Dickinson is going to need to average 27 ppg if this season is going to go anywhere
