Braun off game.
Remy brutal.
Harris lost.

Braun at least responded well late in the game, he has been awesome this season, off games happen.
Remy is clearly still banged up.
Harris just isn't that talented. He had to do with why we sucked last year. and limits how good we can be this year. He was kind of a place holder because he is a good defender and understands the offense/how to play. but somebody needs to beat him out. Jalen and JCL are doing it but bill needs to rip the bandaid off.

I don’t see how Harris fits on this team anymore, honestly.

We need to play our best players.

My dramatic unrealistic overreaction on the Dajuan Harris situation is its reminding me of naadir tharpe. having a small point guard that isn't quick/skilled enough to really be a threat to create off the dribble really hinders your team. neither one of them were really a threat to shoot from range either. maybe knock down the occasional 3 but that is about it. (obviously he is way the fuck better than naadir though)

At least dajuan plays good defense.

I've been saying that shit all season finally it is being exposed. I kept wanting more from yesefu, he hasn't produced it either yet.

Remy needs to heal up. its him and all our wings that we are gonna depend on

I’d need to really study tape, but I’d almost bet another reason why our bigs struggle to post is that Juan’s man sags.

Harris and Remy were pretty much useless tonight.
They combined for 4 points.
And Remy got beat on defense several times...and he wasn't out there very long.
Ochai and Wilson were our only guys who showed.

Juan isn’t why we lost…that’s nonsense

getting worked over inside is why we lost

Lotto pick and a borderline first rounder. They need to know that they are dudes, though, and play like it.

We had 17 turnovers.
To 12 assists.

Remy and Harris are our point guards.

This.

Last week Illy was telling me how dumb I was to hope that we could develop a third ball handler.

Remy should not be playing right now, he doesn't look anything like his normal self. But, he pretty much has to because we have no other ballhander ready to play outside of Harris, whose lack of talent is a lot more apparent against league teams (just like Mitch).

It is. Newell's broken that tape down several times.

Mitch looks good against teams with players of his caliber.

We have ample evidence of this.

Remy isn’t healthy. We won’t be our best until he is.

Rotations will be strange until he is.

For me, it's play Dave all the minutes he can get.
I know you guys don't like that.
But at this point, let's dig in and go.

5 spot: Dave, then Jalen, then Freshmen

Im to that point. I was okay starting Mitch again to see how Dave responded, but at some point you just need to play your best guys.

Remy
Och
CB
Wilson
Dave

Lands the first off the bench.

These are our best players. Period.

And it’s tough to play them right now because Remy is hobbled.

Yes!

Going small with Wilson at the 5 and Lands in to score is what we should’ve done today when we went zone!
