    ^Wufpacker ….

    2 or 3 will transfer after the season for lack of playing time… that’s all Coach’s fault right?

    Well, at least two will go early entry. But your point is well taken. There’s a way to handle these guys and PT. Shortening the bench to 7 won’t do it. Hopefully Gott realizes this.

    With the PT Kirk and Hicks are getting, I feel like he realizes.

    Wonder what this team would look like with Anthony leading them?

    yes… I’m in a pissy mood today… dont know why… must be the cold rain….

    Defense today sucked… we should have held these guys to 35….

    ^^ Yeah I was thinking (hoping?) that as well. And I forgot about Kirk. My bad.
    We got talent enough to be really really good. Just gotta get comfortable with one another. I expect some really ugly losses at times. But hopefully by year’s end we’ll have something.

    (sorry…couldn’t resist…you know I love ya)

    But agreed bill, lotsa room for improvement on both sides, but still won by 25. Cheer up, my man.

    Wait, correction, how can we still not make 3s?

    We seem to shoot them just fine…………….

    Agreed. I am officially guardedly optimistic. Or at least optimistically curious. But being a Pack fan….well, you know where I’m going with that probably. LMAO.

    Man, Kapita was a revelation. And today was the first time I’ve heard it pronounced. I always read it as KAP-ita. Not Ka-PITA, like pita bread. Or Peeta if you’re a Hunger Games fan (resisting urge to make BeeJay Anya joke…). I know it’s only one game, but he seemed to make a statement, and the statement was: if you’re gonna earn PT, you’re going to have to work harder than me.
    Would be interesting to see a percentage of minutes played by players not on the floor last year.

    I don’t want us to sacrifice the best we can be THIS year by giving out undeserved PT in attempt to optimize for next season. This year is IT. This is the best personnel we’ve had in a long time and we’ll be losing a lot of talent to the draft next year regardless. If folks get pissy and transfer then they get pissy and they transfer.

    I’m of the opinion Kapita earned a starting spot for our game Friday against Montana.

    When Ted got the green light I had a feeling he would add some grit and effort to the mix.

    ^Agree with McCallum. After two games, I’m underwhelmed and unexcited already. Potential is sky high but we lack intensity and focus. I don’t doubt we’ll improve and be playing our best basketball in March if everyone stays healthy and no schisms develop. But won’t most everyone else? That has nothing to do with playing time, coming back from injury or transfer, or experience playing together, but everything to do with preparation and coaching. Maximize strengths, minimize weaknesses.

    No surprise, defensively we look indifferent and incapable at times. Offensively, shot selection is still an issue as with all Gott teams. We will win plenty and probably slither into the tournament. We won’t play fast enough because we don’t defend well enough in half court, or rebound well enough to get out into transition, and we won’t routinely use pressure–traps or presses–to speed up tempo and increase our scoring opportunities despite the fact that we have a bench that would enable us to do this. So far, I have little confidence in Gott’s use of bench and oncourt combinations.

    Whiteshoes – that is my concern as well.

    That said, the year is young and we are integrating pretty much an entirely new lineup. Of course, this being 2016 – that’s pretty much how half of the elite teams play these days. We have seen what Gott is capable of with decent talent, but we haven’t had a chance to see what he can do with elite athletes that he has chosen.

    To me, this is all about answering the question of his ceiling. Likewise, if Dd can win one of his next 2, it will reveal same about our football coach next year.
