Very poor mental presence resulting in a billion turns and Oakland layups.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
I mean, he's doing what Brad wants...shoot the uncontested 3...but you have to take that one to the rim.

He could be the best on-ball defender in the conference. The offense will figure itself out, he’s not a career 10% shooter.
That was an awful half for us but we have 36 points and are up 7.
Probably should be up 20.

For sure. He is aiming it and not shooting it without thinking....or maybe thinking about too many technical issues instead of putting it into the net with the same jump and release every time.
We’re not playing awful but not good either so in between. Got to cut down on the turnovers and play smarter.

Taking lots of 3s against the shortest team we will face all season

Expecting a 30 point win regardless. Big 2H incoming
Had some serious stank on it.
Can't get stagnant... need ball movement and player movement but also gotta limit TOs... starts with the playmaking guards
I know we’re only 2.5 games in but are there any stats to back that claim? How was he as a defender at Arizona?
Right, I don't like his attack in the open court. He needs time at the Demetri McCamey / TSJ school of fastbreak b-ball. You stop me, or I going to the backet for, a least, a great shot in the lane (or a dunk for TSJ). KB slows down and looks tentative, or he pulls up early for 3s (like a tentative Coleman Hawkins). I don't want that. He needs to ignore Brad on all the 3s and go to the hole!
That's our gameplan. Shoot a ton of 3s and layups. From an efficiency metrics standpoint, that's optimal basketball, however on days the three isn't falling it can look ugly.

Three offensive rebounds in 7 minutes from the smallest guy on the court…
Our man is putting in the work!
4-17 from three. Too much dependence there. We need a guy that is a legitimate bucket getter when we're out of sorts. This is my concern when we're on the road. Too tough to win like this.
We have got to be leading the nation in fouls drawn while shooting a 3. Probably doubling the rest of the field up. It's insane r
Why do we always seem to struggle against Oakland.
