He presses so much. Dribbles into pressure every time he puts it on the floor. Tries to split double teams and turns the ball over. I still think he’s a great player but I think he’s in the shadows of previous performances from our other guys and when he gets the ball just tries to make stuff happen too much and doesn’t let the game come to him. He’s a good defender but offensively he’s been much worse than Garcia and Watts
We have enough scorers on the floor. Play Mathews in his place.
turning point of the game, we're up 6 or 8 and get a defensive stop, Matthew's gets the board and then throws it right to the Fla player, he takes a dribble and pulls up for an easy 10 foot jumper. It was all she wrote from there.Yes please!
advanced metrics say Garcia and Matthews should be playing ahead of him. Talented guy but maybe not the right fit.
The 9 minute mark. They scored off it and then the next possession Jeffries finger rolled it into the crowd. Then they scored again.
Frustration.We wanted him so bad out of HS. And wanted him bad as a transfer.
It's been a complete waste bringing him onboard.
I'm also genuinely curious where you can find advanced metrics.
Because we cant and never have committed
to good ball screen defense. Its a half hearted combo of switching and the least aggressive hedge imaginable.

I just said he’s a great defender… it’s no secret he’s been awful offensively so far this season. I bet he’d even say it himself. Am I wrong with that assessment?
If you said he was good defender, I would not have commented. You said he was a great player. Great players are good on both sides of the ball. But we have others who can defend that will stick to their role and not try to be a point guard.
