Barnes is also always talking about he wants his guys to not over penetrate

Definitely a fine line, maybe even impossible...it starts defensively though which is what Barnes said himself was why Daniel played late and not Bone, and that’s also what often gets Bone pulled from the game, not offense.

Agreed it might be impossible and the defesne is the part most of us aren't capable to judging easily

I remember Barnes ripping into Kwe pretty good last year. Kwe didn't take it very well... pretty much ignored CRB. Walked right by him and sat down instead of paying attention to him. Daniel's was more blistering though when including that he called a TO and kept on going.

I wonder if Bone is the player that frustrates CRB the most? Outside of possibly Pons, I see Bone as the most underachieving player on the roster. CRB is clearly a coach who prides himself on developing his players and while Bone is progressing it seems like there's a lot more potential waiting to show. He appears to have a good attitude so I'm optimistic he will continue to up his game - IMHO

How is Pons underachieving? What did you expect in year 1?

He's the highest rated recruit on the team. I expected him to be a contributor and he didn't really play any the first half of the season. Starting to get some minimal playing time but still doesn't really contribute much. I guess I expected 10-15 minutes a game, 5-6 points, and 3-4 rebounds. I understood all his obstacles going in and didn't expect much, but he's clearly athletic so I hoped for more....maybe next year?

Auburn's Desean Murray is a rebounding fool at 6'-3" and 225. Height isn't the only measurement of a quality post player. admiral naps a bunch of rebounds at 6'-4".

Kind of like a petrusev type guy huh? If only Barnes could recruit.

Haha. I wish they could have gotten Omar Yurtseven.. This squad would be filthy with him on it. I wish they had one big guy underneath and an athletic guard. Team is so close to being really legit and I guess that’s why it’s frustrating now. I still think this is a very solid team and would love to see this loss wake them up.

Barnes won't go after committed players, but I wonder how many FBI decommits could become available? TN is looking a lot more attractive right now. Shaq's kid just bailed on Arizona.

I'd love for that to happen, but wouldn't hold my breath. A shame too, because he's an absolute stud. Should have a DeAndre Ayton type impact.

He may play and be a star like Ayton, but Ayton is a physical specimen while Wiseman makes Eric Foreman(That 70s Show) look like a bodybuilder. Ayton may be Hakeem Olajuwan 2.0

Wiseman has put on some weight recently and it shows in his game. He isn't the 250 lb monster that Ayton is, but he is not the 190 lb wimp you must remember him as, either. He's well North of 200, and looks to hold his own in the paint. Perhaps Mo Bamba is a better comparison, physically. Wiseman is a better player though.

Yeah, I haven't seen him play, this year. I really wish he would give UT a real look. Wiseman will be a beast in college
