They play with plenty of heart.

Issue is they're freaked out to shoot... they have no confidence on the offensive end of the court. Hop has to get it figured out.

We have 20 turnovers against fucking Montana.

I mean... when was the last time you saw a guy travel stepping into a wide-open 3?

When was the last time you saw a 5-star point guard commit a turnover with a defender not within 20 feet of him?

They are playing so scared and it needs to stop.

Also. Play RaeQuan Battle. He needs to be in there to break this shit up.

Battle is far from ready.

Really, and you know this from the 0 minutes he's played on the court?

Hameir Wright is shooting 29% from the field. 29% from 3. 58% from the foul line.

He's averaging 2.5 turnovers per game.

He's only a half rebound better than Quade Green. His blocks are only up .4 per game despite the jump in minutes and the only argument to have him out there is that he's "OK" at defense.

His shooting and turnovers cost the Dawgs around 8 total possessions. He was 0-4 from 2, 0-3 from 3, and had 4 turnovers.

Is he "ready?" Cause he's a junior and he looks like total shit.

I dont know if Battle is any better than Wright but I do know that Wright is a disaster with the ball in his hands on offense and isnt a good wing shooter/scorer.

The team desperately needs someone that is atleast an average threat to hit the corner 3 and spread the floor with their shooting, it definitely isnt wright... maybe its battle... who the fuck knows, but its worth giving it a shot in the preseason dreck games.

Holy fuck. That was a ref ball game that we? still won by 20. I know football is a disaster, but maybe chill with the “bad body language” “no heart” intangible doog takes. Embarrassing.

Offense still sucked.

To clarify when I say disinterested on offense Im talking about his actual play... moving without the ball, setting off ball screens, and coming off picks with purpose.

IDGAF if he is all smiley and clappy or looks like he hates the world or an emotionless robot while playing.

He does do the little pouty attitude posture bad habit that lots of insecure teenagers do when they make a mistake, I dont care, he is fresh out of high school and isnt a leader, nor should he be expected to be... He is extremely unpolished as a player and is probably a bit frustrated things dont come quite as easily as they did in high school where he could rely on his athleticism/size to cover up some of his flaws. Again, I dont care.

The biggest concern for this team is it is still heavily relying on its athleticism to beat up glorified IMA teams. Montana and Maine are complete garbage.

Hameir is our best defender. He’s so good. Notice how they never get an open uncontested 3 in his area of the court. He’s averaging like 3 blocks a game too.

He is averaging 1.4 bpg with 25.6 mpg through the first 5 games... He had zero blocks against Tenn and Maine and one against Montana...
