New Starting 5

[PaKnight]

Jwill is completely awful! Every team we play and continue to play will be in a zone and double Dylan and Ace.

You need shooters to open up the lane. Jwill cannot shoot and his whole game is driving to the rim which against a zone is nullified.

Can’t play on this team. Cut Jmike fast as well

Pretty clear JWill is the third best player on the team.

Pretty clear JWill is the third best player on the team.

At this point that’s pretty clear. But everyone is right - the role players (some combination of acuff, Somerville, dercack, martini, Hayes) are gonna have to step up

What about a freshman wall and all that?
Energy needed for defense effecting offense?
We also gave up 95pts.

Needing 60pts from 2 players seems to exactly be fools gold.

The main premise is we didnt get “lucky” by shooting better than we normally would.

 

[cRURah]

harper driving to the hoop is almost a certain 2 pts. if he kicks it out for a 3 pt attempt by whomever, it’s at best a basket 30% of the time. For every 10 shot attempts, that’s 20 pts for Harper driving vs 9 pts for kick outs. Ok, harper may miss occasionally but still, Harper drives are much more efficient than kick outs.

My worry is that we did get "lucky" - by Dylan and Ace scoring 60.
Did Rutgers compete with Alabama or did Dylan and Ace compete with Alabama?

Yeah, there will be a lot of nights when the two of them won't shoot 60%

 

[NickRU714]

Yeah, there will be a lot of nights when the two of them won't shoot 60%

Or….maybe there won’t be?
What if they really just do this every dam night and have the greatest college season ever by teammates?

How awesome would that be.
It’s at least possible which is more than we could have ever said before.


I’ve definitely jinxed it and now they’ll score 20pts combined on Saturday……..(double jinx is set!)

Somerville is nice offensively but he is such a HUGE negative in the +/- defensively and if you don’t see that on the tv then idk

Williams needs to start probably instead of Hayes

Hayes just needs to take dercack minutes and be closer to 20-23 min a game versus the 15-17 he’s been getting

We have to incorporate and utilize Hayes. RU needs threes out of him to maximize this team’s potential. Alabama dominated us in some areas, but we dominated them in some areas too. If we just had a little more from the 3 point line we win that game, and if we were somehow on fire from three we easily win. The Alabama game had some great takeaways and confidence builders for this team, one of the greatest take aways is we need more threes and Hayes can help deliver some.
