Philon is looking like a one and done right now but long way to go. Holloway keeps improving. Maybe Sears should stay at the 2 or at least until his funk is over cause we all know he is a beast. Youngblood still to come back for conference play is exciting. Stevenson will be losing minutes got to think. Mo and the fresh hopefully keep coming on. Lot of potential. Fun to watch and remember losses to come but it’s basketball so no freaking out lol
NBA scouts always surprise me, but they are going to be lusting over Philon. He seems made for the NBA with his length and intangibles.

We better enjoy him.

Couple of thoughts after watching about a fourth of the game last night. One, we won't win many games against teams with quality inside players if we keep insisting on playing Nelson at the 5. To offset that weakness, we have to insert our best octane on offense and when that happens the defense will get even worse. IMO, you need either Cliff or Sherrill at the 5 throughout the game when facing a team with good bigs. Two, while defense improved last night, our perimeter defense in the last 10 minutes wasn't very good. Too many guys overrun plays, don't switch off effectively, and allow blow bys way too often. Granted, this was what I saw in the last part of the game - it could have been better earlier. Hopefully, Youngblood's return will help shore up this area, but the other guys have to be better.
Cliff had four fouls very early in the second half, so Nelson had to be in there... :cool:

Are these being autogenerated somehow? This one is wrong about the next game. They play Houston in Las Vegas, not in Houston.

Sherrell played nine minutes and had one foul. That's my point... Nelson doesn't have to be in there at the 5.
Is there ever a situation where Clifford/Sherrell/Nelson are all in the game at once? Obviously this doesn’t bode well for the 3 point shooting we like…but it was a thought. That’s some serious length inside.
