Because Vescovi, JJJ, Gainey and ZZ are the ones who get open looks and they’re streaky as hell. If they’re not knocking down shots, Knecht and Aidoo end up in a wrestling match. It also doesn’t help that Vescovi and ZZ aren’t a huge threat going downhill to the rim. We dribble into the lane with no intention of shooting more than any team I can remember.

This and has been my biggest complaint about this team. We have 1 guy that can finish at the rim, so teams would load up on DK and force others to best them


For this team to make a run they are going to have to shoot 40% from three for 5 straight games, can they do it?

They definitely were yesterday, and I would say that Vesco and JJJ are routinely soft players and have been for their entire UT careers. I wouldn't say that this year's team is a soft team though.

Speaking of JJJ, I know recruiting is a very inexact science, but how did the evals miss so much on him? He was a 5-star, one-and-done in 2018. He's still in college 6 years later! I know that he's been hurt quite a bit over his career, but that doesn't explain everything.

I think injuries killed him, although mightve been a bit overrated.

This is a hot take, but I think the program will be in a better spot after ZZ, Vezco and JJJ are gone, simply because we get more athletic without them.

I wouldn’t go quite that far, but this team could definitely use a slasher opposite Knecht to keep him from getting mugged all night.

I love the Carr kid we have on the bench, and I want to see what Jefferson can do. I think Carr will be really good and Jefferson has elite athleticism from what ive read about him,

AA tried to camouflage it in all those bogus trades but I think about $17mn was added to payroll and the end result was Kelenic

Somewhere between $17-$19M. Which seeing we could have had an Eddie/Duvall platoon for $5M makes me think we could have allocated those resources better (even if I still like the risk).

So Eduardo Rodriguez can get $80M in November and Boras can’t get Montgomery $80M? Is Boras washed???
