I think I'm most impressed with how quickly they've picked up the new system. I've read on here multiple times in the past that Miller's pack line defense really doesn't click until year 2 for most kids. I'm not basketball expert to be able to say what systems are easier than others to learn, but i...

Dude eats zone defenses for breakfast.

Honestly, I cant begin to describe just how elated I am that this is the style of ball we are seeing in Tucson again. Not only are we getting up and down, forcing turnovers, getting out in transition and sharing the ball, but the game plans have been extremely versatile and opponent specific, which ...

Relating to the offense, out of everything I wanted to see that was the biggest for me and it wasn't great haha - we just weren't instinctively running the action and it broke down pretty quickly. Which is fine - it's early, we'll get some good tape to learn from. But this won't be a well oiled mac...

First, great to see some actual transition basketball in McKale again. A few brief observations I noticed tonight about the system, some of the guys and what we can expect moving forward. First, I enjoyed the extended pick up on defense. Kier and Benn picked up 3/4 court or further multiple times, a...

Ive been in the excited for the season camp for quite some time and am a Lloyd supporter. If he bombs, ill be here to call his ass out too. However, I was ready to move on from Miller 2-3 years ago. Lloyd taking over this roster, with or without Akinjo and Brown, is like a shot in the arm to me. Ad...

This is a much better lineup tonight for the US. Hoppe, Dike, Busio, Bello, Williamson, Sands. This is much younger but IMO far better. And I want to see the younger players get national experience. Some of these guys (so far for me Busio, Bello, Dike and Hoppe) actually look like players that coul...

There's the CP3 meltdown game you all have avoided thus far.

That absolutely was not a thing. Took him 3 weeks to get an MRI? Clippers need better medical insurance. Suns announced Saric the day after it happened. The dude wasn't traveling with the team, at all, other than the day after it happened and was sitting in a suite for 2 weeks. They announced it as...

Spiff, are those Kerr’s numbers as a cat only? Have you looked at his stats where he played PG as a Euro? I thought he played more as primary ball handler in Europe than he did at AZ. Fingers crossed I know I am much higher on Kerr than most. I think he'll be just fine as the primary PG. Dude is go...

TucsonClip

Good posts. Im pretty much on board with you both. He couldnt finish at the rim, was basically the engine of offense (good or bad), shot the ball very well from three in catch and shoot situations, but never got nearly enough of those looks and frequently relied up contested pull up Js. Im not sayi...

TucsonClip

Im not saying we are better without him, but for what lloyd wants to do, Akinjo needed to change his game (which actually would have made him a more efficient player, IMO). But would have made him less marketable as far as his professional prospects. So I don’t blame him for leaving. Agreed, althou...

TucsonClip

Hey Spiff, Did you ever run metrics on Akinjo? We all know he scored a decent amount of points, but how efficient was he? His TSP and EFG %'s are not bad, but an area for improvement. Neither sucks, but to be a big time guy, both should improve by about 5-10%. 52% TS and 46% eFG% Looking at the las...

TucsonClip

Youre welcome... Although im not sure the Jazz survive Game 6.

The reporting is accurate. CP3 is in protocol, but it doesnt mean he is out 10 days. Theoretically, he could be cleared right after Game 1. Not sure there is enough time to clear him for Game 1, but I think its a possibility.

TucsonClip

American defense is ELITE Calling up Tim Ream, much less playing him, has to be a fireable offense. Except when your brother is your boss I guess. Need to put Brooks on ice until qualifiers. If he gets hurt again our back line will be horrific. Mexican player getting drilled in the face with a wate...

What a freaking game. Instant classic, fights, Mexico fans living up to their reputation, Horvath, my son Gio and, McKinnie flying around in every corner and Pulisic capping it off. Unreal.

I saw nothing in any of the clips I have found on this dude to make me believe he should be a target, let alone someone we need to prioritize. Maybe there are some clips I havent seen yet of his defense and agility, but he looks like a brute forward who cant dribble, havent seen him take a jumper, n...

Who is he supposed to recruit right now? it was painfully obvious that if we didnt land Tyty or Kaluma, there werent many guys on the board beyond some stop gap fill ins without other guys hitting the transfer market or decommiting.

I barely have any connections to UA inside sources on my own, and in general anymore, but there have been more than a few times I've thought to myself, "that post here is even worded exactly like it was by Scheer on WA."

TucsonClip

If you wanted Akinjo back, you then are left with a style of play with him pounding the ball for 20 seconds. I dont think that was going to translate into a year everyone would have been happy with, because Terry is for sure no longer here and Akinjo isnt Trier with the ball in his hands. I give Aki...

TucsonClip

You can't go into the season with one PG, especially when that one PG has never scored a 2 pt FG in his career. I'd rather have a PG who can speed the floor with his shooting to open up the driving lanes on the wings and unclog the the paint for the bigs. Larsson reminds me of Bogdan Bogdanović (ak...

He isn't a talented enough athlete or penetrator he can just blow by people. He needs the J to be working to force the D up on him to open lanes, and last year, that wasn't happening. In turn, he has good vision, but can't show it without getting penetration or forcing the D out of position, which ...

Bal has some interesting tools, but the redshirt year might be needed if he's still playing like he was in some of those videos. Like Benn, he's got to build up his handles and confidence attacking off more than one or two dribbles and hoping he gets close enough to put up a shot. Still, guys with h...

Most confusing thread ever. I'm looking at the same posts you all are and I literally have no idea what some of you are talking about. Now people don't know Kerr was a starter? And that he's good? Who here is stupid about that? One of the few "accomplishments" we all share is having watched last ye...

I'd love to know what this guy thinks Terry's proper position is, because wasn't he listed as a PG coming out of high school? Does he think that's where Tommy Boy is going to play him? Can't wait to find out as well, because I think he should see some minutes at the 4 because if his passing ability...

From my man Gershon: Skilled point guard with good size and average length. Plenty of room to fill into his frame. Very good three-point shooter off bounce who can hit tough/contested shots. Could improve efficiency off catch and middle game. Can finish with both hands at rim. Outstanding vision/cre...

TucsonClip

Am I just batshit crazy or does everyone consider Kerr a 2 and no shot starting at PG? I can understand playing him off the ball pending who we land and if they are a PG, but Kerrs rep IS as a PG. I've already been down this road on the other site, but it's as if people flat out think we need a star...

He should be making his decision this week right? Let's also not forget that he's playing in the Iverson Classic on May 8th, and Showtime is in charge of creating content and making a short documentary about the event. This is the ONLY all-star game being played this year, with the McDonald's and J...

I'd agree with this. To me, non-self sanction is working to build flexibility in a coming recruiting class. A guy like Dezonie is how you do that. Recruit him with the understanding he has a scholarship, but if we get sanctioned, we can't give him the scholarship and he'd have to look elsewhere. Te...

Agreed. I wasnt sure Lloyd would be on Ballo, but if it keeps Benn around im fine with it. Nice to have a guy who already somewhat knows the system.

I just don't think Akinjo fits the type of PG that Lloyd's offense needs. He's a much better fit for Miller. Tyty fit better for Lloyd? I haven’t had a chance to watch him or really watch Lloyds system. Yes, Kerr too. Not trying to shit on Akinjo, but he would need to adjust his game more to play i...
