Pitt - UNCW Gamethread

[Franb]

Lol the ball has to land in someone’s hands.

The 1 aspect of the game that Pitt has done well so far is rebound, +11 per game.

Team looked good in the first half. Thought we were better with Jeffress out.

In the second half Santos only played 5 minutes.

Payton and Collier together lost much of the lead.

We had trouble with their press and quit moving the ball

I know the ACC isn’t what it was. But it’s still loaded with much better athletes and hoopers. It’s gonna be pretty ugly. May be worse than Stallings even if they don’t go 0fer.

You're right, the league is
not good. Unfortunately we
are even worse.

He’d be a backup on any of our good tournament teams. Just another dude, really. Doesnt score it great, doesn’t set others up. I said last year he’s not as good as XJ and still think that. And XJ is a middle of the pack P5 guard

Not sure I agree. If we're comparing him to Brandin Knight/Krauser, in the context of playing point guard, then I agree completely. But I believe he was recruited to be a shooting/combo guard, not to be the solo ball handler on a team with very little supporting talent.

Let's also consider the coaching he gets. Can we agree Jamie was a better game coach as well as practice/development coach?

I think with similar talent around him, he could produce Jaron Brown numbers if playing a similar role. I think he has some talent, not a star, but enough to be more than just another dude.
