I wonder what feedback DeMarr got from "testing the NBA draft waters."
This team is nowhere near that bad.
I don't really understand what happened to both of the Langford's. Maybe still the flu? They've been either injured or have dragged the team down most games.
Maybe not on sheer talent (though that team had two future NBA players and this team....does not), but insofar as how they will perform on the court, it absolutely is that bad.
This is probably the worst offensive team I have ever seen. A lot of that is coaching but it also looks like a lot of guys who think they have skills that they just don't. They don't run sets. There is no off-ball movement. They play iso-ball with a bunch of guys who cannot create their own shots and CJ Penha is probably their best jump shooter which is....something. Its a bunch of guys who we should be running off rolls and finishing at the rim who don't even try to do that and instead we much take the most contested 17 footers in the country on a team totally bereft of guys who can, like, shoot.
The best thing to come from this team would've been to watch Aligbe and Hand play 35 minutes a night while they win maybe 10 games and hope for the future (like that 16/17 team with Bowman and Robinson) but now instead we're going to get a heavy dose of Mason Madsen who is like Eli Carter's mindset matched with Tyler Roche's skillset and CJ Penha showing us what Fred Scott could've given us had he stayed healthy. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
