Ken Pom #2. Adj O 2nd, Adj D 17th.

This team moves the ball very well against the zone. Night and day difference thus far when compared to seasons past. Ayton is absolutely perfect in that flashing to the middle of the zone role. Think Spliff called that one a while back.

Team defensive rebounding has really been my only major gripe with this team so far. That's seemingly something we have struggled with early in very recent years.

rgdeuce

Yeah, think he only had two pts at the half too.

rgdeuce

^ lol thats awesome. When Zo was at 22 points I turned to my buddy and said Trier wants 30 again bad. He had been stuck on 20 forever. He got super pissed when he missed that FT and he was pissed walkin off the court w 28 when Miller pulled him for the night :lol: . Still think hes averaging 30 on t...

https://twitter.com/joshuabrobbins/status/928438725067067392 Went through some of his video the last few games. While I havent had the time to watch many full games of his, he looks night and day compared to his time in Tucson. More fluent off the bounce, better at creating off more than one or two...

Would he be playing defense as poorly as he has been so far this year?

I think his defense has looked better this year. Still not great, but better.

post two games, three things have floored me: 1) how Arizona pushes the ball and initiates early offense, even after made baskets -- looks so much like Washington, but with a more disciplined, under-control, and calculated approach...better/deeper talent doesnt hurt either. 2) how much Lorenzo Roma...

The most talented player I have ever seen in Tucson, and Sean Elliot was my favorite player when I was a kid. Elliott is my favorite player I've ever watched, but I think Markkanen is more talented than Elliott. Hard to compare 1-year players with 4-year players, but Markkanen as a senior in colleg...

I think Miller has used Ristic well in the first two games. 20 minutes last night. Not mad at that at all.

rgdeuce

You can imagine Lute watching this team and saying,”yeah, that looks like offense.” Someone said it on Twitter, but the first two games have looked like a Lute Olson team. Starts with PJC, has been pushing the tempo nicely. Then you have all the 4s and 5s, absent Ristic, who are running the floor. ...

Everyone from this class has exceeded expectations to this point. Going to interesting to see how Miller distributes the minutes moving forward. The obvious answers are game by game matchups and/or minutes come from Dusan and Pinder, but Pinder has fit in nicely to multiple lineups and done all you ...

rgdeuce

Safe to say some of those were the easiest buckets Pinder got in his life lol. Several great passes. Great passing team

rgdeuce

Swiss army knife player you can stick in pretty much any lineup/rotation we can throw out there.

rgdeuce

I havent seen Bagley and Porter live, but Im still trying to wrap my head around how there are three better pro prospects than Ayton. If this draft has three other once in a generation players, then cool. A true 7 footer, 7'5 wingspan, 43.5 inch vertical, can face up and play w his back to the baske...

This team looks like they are weeks ahead of schedule

Olajuwon Olajuwon Olajuwon its freaky, between his touch from 12ft out, to the turn around jumper in the post, to the ability and willingness to use both hands to lay the ball in the hoop, around, under and on the opposite side of the rim just like Olajuwan. even the steal at the top of the key and...

Coach answer: It is not acceptable to be outrebounded and outrun ever, let alone by a lower division team. We need to get this ****in gear.

I remember getting my ass chewed out in JV TRYOUTS for struggling to keep up on a full court tip drill. You are not lying.

rgdeuce

May not have been apparent on television, but his conditioning isnt there yet. He was often 3-4 steps behind his man crossing half court when we had the ball

Nuts. What a difference an offseason makes. Miller went from "the coach who cant get past the elite 8 and ships off busts to the NBA" to John Wooden to these bozos. Just think of what things are going to look like once guys from this years team get into the league and get their legs under them. You ...

Like watching a high school senior playing against 8th graders on elementary school height baskets. Probably the 20th time ive said that since the red blue game. Its how I remember Shaq and Chris Webber looking as a kid.

rgdeuce

A few thoughts: I think most nights it's going to be the Deandre Ayton show. At one point, he had 25 of our first 57 points. Provided we are healthy come march, I just dont see this team losing with him on the floor. He'd have to get in foul trouble. Alkins, Ayton and Trier are gonna be too much for...

Lot of good shit on this page. Well done guys

KenPom predicts Arizona to go 15-3 in the Pac-12, and win it by two games. As much as I'd like to think we'll go undefeated, this seems plausible given all the unexpected shit that seems to happen to us.. Without that southern california road trip, I think we go undefeated this conference season. N...

Aaron, Rondae, and Lauri are balling this year. TJ is solid. Stanley is struggling. Then all the old heads being old heads. Stanley shot 0-13 opening game. Wipe that game from the records and he is 21-43 (49%) from the floor and 8 for 21 (38%) from 3. The biggest thing to me though is the minutes V...

If PJC isn't a starter in March, I'd be fairly surprised. Starters may not be finishers. In PJCs defense, he has been a nice finisher for us more times than not. I can think of several games where he stunk up the floor all game, only to hit a big 3 and dish out a couple of nice assists off of his c...

There's literally nothing to see here with this. He's trying to continue collecting a paycheck until he can't. This ensures he'll still be paid through probably March or so. Anybody else in this situation would do exactly that. Yeah. The only potential downside would be if he wanted to actually pus...

T.J. puts down the Beard in Houston. 4-7 FG; 3-3 from 3; 5 dimes; 1 Steal; 2 Blocks; 11 Pts; 2 TOs in 24 mins. Has to be Fake News. There should be an FBI investigation. Aaron is averaging 22 and 9.5, Rondae 14 and 5, Lauri 15.6 and 9.6. It's been a good year for ex Cats. Next year, Ayton can round...

The part of Lauri's game I love so far is the double digit rebounding. Yep. I expected this offense, not rebounding. Been hilarious to watch the complete 180 about Lauri on social media, especially with Bulls fans. Went from "bust" and "we could have had Dennis Smith" to "Rookie of the Year" and ta...

Season is here and people wanna talk hoops. Get lost Russ. Silly me I assumed a thread called Bribery Scandal-FBI probe-Book Richardson involved might be about the FBI scandal and not the season. Mea culpa. Maybe should have been more specific: its not the offseason anymore, meaning we have less ti...

Lee and Akot are both still very raw at this stage, but we have seen what a few weeks can do. With Rawle back, I think one of those two is the odd man out of the rotation, possibly both. The competition in practice has to be unreal. Senior Pinder fighting off two freshmen. I do want to see some smal...

rgdeuce

Ayton is doninating Ristic, and every one else in his way.

rgdeuce

Team will be fine, but hopefully Rawle has a good and speedy recovery because this team with what we have on the floor tonight needs one more shooter to be that top 3 level team IMO.

Someone convince me that Randolph isn't a first rounder, this year. Yikes.

Edit: Like the way Parker looks out there.

Pumped for this game. Finally cut off Directv and have Pac 12 Network through Sling. Thanks Larry Scott, you prick. Your incompetence got me to save roughly $50 per month.

Already funny watching a lot of these twitter idiots eating their words. One dude was nitpicking at Lauri's FG% for the game (42%) - 17 pts on 12 FGA means he gives you 1.42 points per attempt. The only Bull or Raptor who logged more than 20 minutes on the floor and gave more was Kyle Lowry and CJ M...

Maybe I'm overly harsh, but 5 assists in 27 minutes isn't impactful for a PG. You can't really claim a positive impact in distribution with that number. Same with 3 rebs and 2 steals.

10,000 subpoenas? Doing a great job of keeping them secret. From personal experience, I don't think the FBI would disclose to a company's attorney how many subpoenas had actually been sent out in an active investigation, so they were probably ballparking their estimate. But I do agree that in a cas...
