He has had to adjust from controlling the ball and the offense to playing off the ball and deferring to Kingston. He plays great defense and he’s another excellent ball handler with length on the court. He can shoot too. His shooting has suffered the most this year as he seems to struggle picking his spots. He has had some good games and I hope he finally figures it out by tourney time. Uzan led this team to the national championship game last year. He’s a stud.
The Cougar defense totally ruined Richie Saunders last night. Dude is a scoring machine with a beautiful shot. Coogs took him completely out of the game. Sure, AJ still got his numbers (what a player!) but shutting down Saunders is why the Coogs cruised to victory.
Cenac has definitely gained confidence and become more assertive on offense, but I’m also impressed with Sakho’s improvement over the season. In the first few games in Nov/Dec, I was wondering why they wanted him. I think Tucker’s constant foul trouble has actually helped Sakho.
