Not the best start, same issues we've been seeing. 4/5 turnovers so far, Jones with 2 stupid fouls already, issues with rotations leaving people wide open. Hopefully they settle down and build some confidence.

It’s actually insane how bad this team is right now. Doesn’t mean they won’t improve dramatically, but wow. Juwan has his work cut out for him. They can’t even do simple stuff, like inbounds vs the press, pass it around the court, or entry passes.

The fact that we can’t get the ball down low against a team who’s tallest player is 6’6 is pathetic. This is four out small ball with Diabate type of game if Hunter can’t establish himself or get the ball.

Collins brings energy but plays out of control.

John's is still awful. 

Passing is still awful.

A team of all guards starting is giving us problems.

.

Jones still makes the dumbest fouls.

I understand there are a good amount of freshman playing, but the sheer amount of turnovers is partly a coaching issue. This team is starting all guards, there's no reason to be this sloppy.

It's insane, do they not practice ball movement? That's just basic passing they're screwing up. A couple times a game sure, but they almost have 10 not even 10 minutes in.

Totally agree and plus 1. 

Collins Eli and hopefully Zeb will be our guard rotation. 

Diabate Hunter Houstan Williams. 

Seven man rotation. 

Play John's and Jones only when needed for foul trouble.

And get Hunter's head out of his ass and tell him to work like the all- American he thinks he is.
