Can we please bench Hyatt?

[TheHandOfChaos]

With the exception of an occasional streak, he's a net liability. The guy thinks he's much better than he is on the offensive end.

I think we've seen enough

 

[Shell21]

he’s awful. hopefully when mag comes back his minutes will be decreased

 

[S_Janowski]

With all due respect he’s very average…soft on defense and on the boards and still cannot make bunnies. He can make the 3 albeit inconsistently.

We are in trouble if he’s anything more than a 7th/8th option.

 

[bac2therac]

Should not be more than 8th or 9th player..that he starts is mind numbing

 

[newell138]

We?

 

[KNICKI]

Never believed the hype with Pike this off season about Hyatt. This guy
frustrates the hell out of me

 

[DC8690]

Can’t say I would blame Hyatt more than anyone else on the team. There wasn’t one positive I could see including Cliff.

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

And instead we staple our heralded recruit to the bench

He looked like a deer in headlights.

 

[Mr Magoo]

He looked like a deer in headlights.

Yeah, not sure who was more disappointing today.. Fernandes, Simpson, Hyatt, Cliff, or Griffiths. I’d say Simpson.

 

[DC8690]

Agreed

 

[SBP]

He will bench himself eventually.

I say, the eventual starting and finishing line up should be

Cliff
Mag
Gavin
Williams
JMike

Simpson leading 2nd team with Wolf, Oskar, Hyatt

 

[ScarletLongIsland]

Took the ball to the hoop. Knocked down another jumper. Limited touches. Not sure how that was worse that any of the crap I watched for 40 mins for so called veteran players.

 

[toby83]

Like the potential in JMike.
Real pest on D, not afraid to try and take somebody off the dribble (quick enough to do it), worried though his outside shooting becomes a liability once film out amd guys know they can cheat off him

 

[Saint Puppy]

Different year - same Hyatt! Wildly inconsistent and doesn’t know how to play within an offense. Just like last year he’ll get hot and have a great half or game and his apologists will come out in full force. Don’t need him - makes you bang your head against the wall more than any other player.

 

[RAC93]

Simpson was brutal. Pike had no choice but to start Davis over him at start of 2nd half. Let’s hope they get it together, but that was a very bad showing.

You’re seeing the reason he never reached his potential at LSU, and I actually think he’s worse now.

 

[RUJMM78]

The outside shooting was horrendous but Choi didn't play one minute.There wasn't one go to scorer for Rutgers the entire game.What should really concern the coaching staff is the number of Princeton offensive rebounds.

Wolf. That was about it.

JMike was one of the only positives.

 

[DC8690]

Wolf. That was about it.

I will say I thought he played well.

 

[DC8690]

JMike was one of the only positives.

Cannot agree with that, their guards made us look silly.

 

[RUDiddy777]

Cannot agree with that, their guards made us look silly.

I’m cutting him some slack since it was his first game. Looked better than most.

But yeah, lackluster performance overall.

 

[RutgersChow]

Can't play defense and he's selfish on offense.

 

[MCKnight2004]

J Mike was 2-10 and Forced shots. And that was much better than Simpson, sadly.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Since we are talking about Hyatt and others who were here last year..

Mulcahy last night in a 91-57 win vs cupcake.. 34 min, 9 pts, 8 reb, 7 assists
Spencer had 8 pts in 28 minutes, 5 assists for UCONN vs cupcake 95-52 win

I think Pike wanted him to leave and move on with his life. If true, that says it all. Selfish player.

PM led them in rebounds.

 

[RutgersChow]

JD was the only legit PG out there. Simpson is a combo guard.

We are in trouble if he’s anything more than a 7th/8th option.

We are also in trouble with Oskar playing 23 minutes or any significant minutes for that matter

tied

I don’t know who Choi is but I did have the unpopular, minority opinion after last year that Chol won’t ever play more than garbage minutes here. Much too raw and unskilled to develop into a high major rotation player, especially as our recruiting continues to improve.
