Ponds handle has been terrible and lazy. To be down by 10 with the way he is playing we are very lucky.
 
You guys can say whatever you want about us being undersized and undermanned blah blah blah. Bottom line is this a tie game at the half is we even get a little from Shamorie Ponds.

He’s getting shut down by a freshman, sad to see but not an Nba Player if he can’t get a bucket on this kid
 
Can Ponds have possibly played a worse first half what the hell no points and I don’t even want to know how many turnovers

lol first round?
 
Ponds having the worst game of his career so far and we are down by only 10. Ponds has to get his head into the game period. All mental mistakes otherwise we are right in this game.
 
26% from three, Williamson punishing us after Clark had to sit and Ponds came up completely empty (0 points and 5 turnovers). Not a formula for success. Lucky to be down only 10.
 
Coach should have take ponds out for a stern talk about his ball handling.Games like this coaching matters and it is not showing Scouts looking at this game is going to hurt his NBA chances
 
Terrible final 2. Lot of positives can be taken out of there. Would have been great to been down less then 6.

Ponds was way to sloppy. But go back and watch first 15 minutes and he had his hand in many of our baskets. Would not bet against him in the second.

Only 5 smh
 
[quote="Marillac" post=319489]Tre Jones is so mich better than Duval was last year.

Ponds needs some jarring early screens on the full court to make that kid think.[/quote]
Much better & agree on latter point

One thing not to score but his 5 TOs killed us.

Jones is the best defender Ponds will face this year. Give credit where credit is due. Shame on the staff for not coming up with a game plan for Jones guarding Ponds.
 
[quote="Johnnie Drama" post=319512]Geez, Ponds play today is absolutely baffling.[/quote]

It's not baffling...he's getting his lunch eaten by Tre Jones. He doesn't fair well against NBA athletes. He needs to come out second half and out-savvy him.

Jones has left himself ready for a knockdown screen with his tunnel vision on Ponds. Do your thing Keita.

At least a couple of them resulted in fast break baskets. So it wasn’t just the loss of possession
 
This might be the poorest game Ponds has played in his Career. He throws lazy passes , dribbling too much and isn’t handling double team . Let Simon, Heron bring the ball up . Figgy if needed . Mullin needs to work Ponds off screens or let him post up Williamson , get that 3 rd foul . Clark , as usual , in a hole with 3 fouls . We could have used his outside shooting but, he was sitting . Keita has a few nice put backs . Need to come out hard in few minutes of this half, get it under double digits . Even , let Williams bring it up . We have to exploit Duke doubling Ponds by getting others to score easily .
 
They need to set screens to get Jones off him. Ponds is best when he can drive and dish/shoot. I still think we are in this but EVERYONE needs to put up points. There is no answer for Williamson he will score. Contain the others

Just be careful, it might be a double flagrant intentional tech resulting in an ejection if any player of the opposing teams choosing.

What other NBA athletes has Ponds not fared well against? Silly comment
