He is the highest rated defender in man situations so far. Not many guys have gotten past him off the bounce or shot over him. Just exceptionally...
And he was. Pullin is similar in terms of pace, mid range game, experience, etc, but he is longer, more athletic, and more dynamic off the bounce.
Assuming you didn’t care about his defensive dominance
Agreed. Those other 4 will be in the 25-30 minute range, which is really the sweet spot between getting into a rhythm and staying fresh. That...
Absolutely love how he fit in last night. Just the perfect complement to what we have. Plays with such great pace, never gets out of control or...
Spacing issues have mostly come with Samuel and Handlogten together. Not a lot of room in the paint for guys like Kugel and Clayton when they get...
I don't get all the Kugel criticism. It's insane. The guy has been dominant defensively. Our best on ball defender statistically. He can defend...
This is exactly what Golden wanted. He fell in love with having two legit bigs together in SF. We’re immediately seeing the results in terms or...
But I read here that we were probably the 10th or 11th best team in the SEC, haha. Guess that makes FSU like 17th or 18th in our league.
Yes, very interesting, even with foul trouble. Did a good job of rotating the bigs to limit exposure. Didn’t play small much at all. I’m guessing...
You called it. Wins thread on first page. We had about 8 minutes of flow in (first half) and basically started blowing them out in that stretch.
Well, he sure as heck hasn't played the point guard at Boston College, San Francisco, or Florida, including three games without Pullin where our...
Fortunately, we were anything but lackadaisical to start the first two games—we were completely dominant. We opened with stretches of 16-0 against...
Just read a couple of pages in this thread. Man, perceptions change quickly around here. It's the third game of the season against a very...
Not gonna be a very challenging game. Hope we get the bench a little confidence, especially the freshmen. With one more game until Pullin returns,...
Wish I could agree, but he has not played as confident as I hoped he would. Solid defensively, but hasn't done much with the ball and isn't known...
Personally, I kinda like that small ball lineup for some stretches. If our freshmen fours don't get up to speed soon, that may be necessary in...
He played the 5 all last year in the Big East, so I have no doubt he can play it in our league. But Golden definitely wants size at that spot.
I wouldn’t read too much into the UVA game. Golden told him to be aggressive because that’s what we needed. Can’t sit back and let their defense...
Turnovers and foul shots factored into that. We had 68 possessions, which is considerably more than they usually allow. 21 offensive rebounds...
