I didn't denigrate anything. It's called balance. Nice win. And there's no bigger supporter of Rick on this board then me. I didn't get too down after the Mich L, and I ain't getting too high after yesterday's W. There are definitely some flaws on this team, some of which are likely fixable, and some of which are likely not. Like I said earlier, I'll wait to see a bigger sample size before deciding how good this team can be.
We are still in our infancy because a lot of these guys are going to develop a lot over the course of the season under Pitino, both young players and seniors. I think we will be a very different team in a month as getting 11 players who all played in different systems to play coherent Pitino-ball takes a while.
I'm happy to finally see some signs of the player we expected, but I still think Ledlum and Jenkins need to give a lot more ground to Dingle. The kid had like 12 points in the first half of the Dayton game and finished with 14. He scored 3-4x in like 5 possessions yesterday and then they went away from him for a large stretch. That should have been a 25+ night from him.
No way. Marvin was a pillow on the glass. He killed us by living on the perimeter and had one of the lowest motors I've ever seen here. Chris hustles and rebounds and that will be his greatest contribution by far.
I think Utah was a better matchup for Drissa. They put him in there to be physical with 7 footers. Who cared if he had fouled out?
He will if he listens to his coach
I'm speaking to Marvins role on offense on those teams. He was at his best with us when he would catch and shoot/ pick n pop. Was at his best when he kept the dribbling to a minimum. Think Ledlum needs to do the same
Can’t find it on my system

Marvin broke my heart. Built like a Spartan and then he played like Max Hooper. He was a great shooter, but if he had a high motor and hit the glass like Chris we would have won multiple games in March.
IF we are to reach the potential many of us hoped for this year it will be via the press for at least 15-20 mins.
Thanks so much!
Marvin had way too many 2-16 nights and was either , hot or cold as Ice . Great attitude and team player but , him and Simon in the game together were great . For the opponent . As a duo , they were the reason why Ponds got doubled so much .
Maybe, but that group is not seeing that kind of time together. Soriano and Ledlum are too valuable on the boards.
He's not nearly as athletic as Brownlee, I don't think. At least from what I've seen so far. Doesn't mean he can't be a good and effective player, of course, because I think he already is and will become more effective as he adjusts and does what Pitino wants.
