I've said it a million times, Miles is successful when his PG is successful. I was really hoping this year would be Watson's year, that with all the new/fresh faces around, he would take command of this team and put his stamp on it... but instead he looks more passive than last year which is really disappointing. Honestly I like how Allen looks, he is going to be a handful.
Miles needs to push these guys to not settle. We should not be shooting 8/29 on 3s. Palmer was crashing hard to the hoop when they tried to take away the 3, the other guys need to take a lesson from him on that. Copeland could be a matchup nightmare - there's a reason he was ranked as high as he was coming out of high school - but he needs to get more aggressive, not settle for that 3. Gill had a terribly off night, that will happen, but if he isn't hitting, perhaps he also needs to put the ball on the floor and go to the hoop.
That's probably my biggest complaint of Miles in general. Get on your players to take the ball to the basket, try to get fouled, don't settle for 3s. Its not his fault we lost the game because we shot 8/29 on 3s, but whoever is in charge of rotations better figure out something else than 4 guys out there bombing away.
And what's with our bigs all of sudden not moving their feet? Okeke and Jordy are in for a combined 10 minutes and have 6 fouls to show for it? Give me a break. You can't complain about playing time when all you do is foul. We needed one of those 2 or even Tanner to come in and play some strong minutes because we were getting destroyed on the glass at certain times but really got nothing. Hopefully this improves.
