Tsohonis and Battle should have been regulars in the lineup all season.

I've been a vocal supporter of Battle getting a lot more time, but I wasn't clear on Tsohonis.

He's got way more feel at PG than anyone we've got.

Hop missed... and it might have fucking cost us.

    I saw that both played well. Battle had 11 points and hit a three’s. He came in known as a shooter and its desperately needed. So far, Tsohonis looks like one of the four year players I’m talking about that should be a staple of the program.

    I know they played out of necessity, but not a good look for Hop.

    I thought McDaniels was suppose to be good? What happened to him?

    He wasn't good.

    So nothing happened.

    I'm not sure McDaniels was put in the best situation.

    Probably would be more successful with guys like Battle and Tsohonis around him because he wouldn't be the focal point to defend on the perimeter and Tsohonis would probably be better creating better looks for him w. his vision and passing ability.

    Putting the ball in McDaniels' hand at the top of the key and asking him to create in a 1-on-1 situation is basically all we were doing.

    Hop was clearly listening to BTP that Jaden was Kevin Durant.

    Jaden has gone from top-5 pick to fringe first rounder in a few mocks I've seen.

    Well there you have it folks. Team is way better without Jaden playing. Hop pulled an opposite Penerman and played supposed taken (Jaden) over giving other players reps and we lost at least 4 games we should have easily won.

    So glad to see the tradition of coaches fucking up transition over to basketball!

    McDaniels has been really good on defense, but he’s still stuck on the AAU iso ball mentality on offense. He isn’t a good enough shooter to play like that

    Link? Last one I saw he was #4. Stewart was 15th or so.
