JG did use different lineups the entire second half. However that did not appear to be reason for swoon. Mainly bonehead plays, surprisingly from our seemingly high basketball IQ guys, Malcolm and finke. Malcolm with a technical and basically didn't see him for rest of second half. Finke with more then one bad (Just plain bad) passes.
First part of second half and I'm assuming most of the first half (I missed first half) We appeared to get out and run and we were just killin' em. When we stopped they made the run. JG used Tejon for alot of the last part of the second half and I liked what I saw from him. Yes he is a freshman and he will make freshman mistakes but he also was getting after it on D and he was making things happen on offense. I think the bigs need to get used to his passes cause he puts them in there for them. They have some heat on them but they are there. I think there was 3 times he dropped dimes for the big guys right under the basket and they were not able to hold on to ball.
Defense was porous. and I mean olay type d midway through the second half and it didn't shore up. I'm most concerned with that. Fouling is another thing as Thorne fouled out and Morgan had 4. With black and kip on bench we are still shallow on bigs. I thought DJW did a great job and Aaron came to play. I liked Abrams but he was timid to me. I still do not like Tates game. I was unimpressed with how he handled team second half.
JCL was awesome and had some great baskets. Finke got schooled last 4 minutes on D. Maverick was best offense as he had 20+ I believe game high. Tejon went 4 of 6 from Free throw line last 4 of game. He handled pressure just fine. Needs to make sure that he gives guys throwing inbounds a open target at end of game. Out of what I saw for positions in question. Abrams, tejon, tate rotation for point guard. Maverick, Thorne rotation for bigs.
Again one game, exhibition at that but should have put this team away and had 100 plus points. Dissappointed in that showing but i'm all about the year its a marathon not a sprint so looking forward to next game.
