    Our poor PG play is our biggest team weakness. Kevin Porter Jr. has a long way to go. Willing to be patient, but it’s not looking very promising.

    I really do think they should try switching KPJ and Green's roles, KP would have had a lot less turnovers if he slowed down and stopped trying to make a highlight. Green running the offence and KP as a scorer/finisher really doesn't seem implausible.

    Poor PG Play
    Can't get rebounds/box out for stretches of games
    Can't get fouls called at times
    Green is either all on or all off

    Outside of that, we're ok.

    we get a regular PG and rockets probably have 1 loss. shiiiiid if Exum is starting, Rockets probably undefeated.

    Guys would get tired quicker but that'll give a chance to go deeper in our bench.

    Good games by Gordon, Theis, House, Nwaba

    Green, KPJ played like buckets of shet.

    Given that we just in it to see them develop with wins being a bonus, I feel like I waste my time watching when Jalen puts up 0 for long stretches. He should be in every play.

    When our PG and SG keep bricking 3s, there is not much he can do. Wood really needs a good passing PG.

    I really dislike our coaching. Players have too much freedom and a result of that is the extreme ups and downs and looong ass stretches of not scoring.

    what i also really dislike is, that while we’re getting offensive boards, which is awesome - we never look to pass it out for an open three. We rather just go up with 5 people standing around in the paint instead of passing out for a wide open 3. happened a lot this game.
    also, Jalen Green hasn’t had one easy shot so far.

    I see no development of our young guys. This is just dumb. We're losing playing the vets most of the minutes.

    Well boys it was a good game. I will say to Silas’ credit, the guys are playing hard. I would absolutely love to see some set plays worked in. I’d love to see Jalen have more opportunities to bring the ball up and run the offense. Not sold on KP being the point yet. It would be nice to see their minutes staggered a bit. On to the next one…

    Gordon’s 3rd quarter highlight reel needs to be sent to every contender ASAP.

    I would like to see a Sengun - Wood - KMJ - Snipa - Scoot lineup when we're behind but the game is in reach. I think it would be a nice mesh of defense and shooters / scorers.
