Jerry with great article on Aundre Hyatt

It’s great seeing it click for seniors and have big moments. There’s enough veteran experience where we could be a very dangerous team in the tourney if we get in. Two units that almost play different styles - one hard-nosed, attacking and the second one which is bombs away.
 
Hyatt looks a little more mobile and able to drive to the basket this year, I was kinda surprised he tried to drive and dunk late in the game vs Northwestern.

And even though he isn't a great defender, he has improved from last year. They even placed him at the top of the 1-3-1 press and mixed with the guards pressing, was able to get a 10 second violation.

The staff really does try new things and expand roles and responsibilities, to see what players can or cannot do. They've definitely carved out a role that Hyatt can handle and do well with, asking him to play in the press, is definitely expanding his roles/responsibilities, to see how he handles it....does it take away from his legs, shooting scoring?? Can he be somewhat impactful in that press on defense??

Obviously the shot from 3 was huge, then JWill was able to close the door.
