Yes def need him. He's hard to figure out but he has shown up at times when we really need him.

I remember when Johns got, and deserved, meaningful minutes… good times
February 20th, 2022 at 11:58 AM ^
A very puzzling regression for Johns.
February 20th, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
He's always been fragile, quite up and down. My daughter is a fairly gifted soccer player, and has struggled with anxiety, sometimes having panic attacks, moments of acute dysphoria in big games. I sometimes feel wonder if I don't see a similar look on Johns' face. He's so talented--I always wish him well. He came through big-time toward the end of last year; today could be a good day for him, since Wiscy's big is kinda wooden.

Yeah we should definitely try to diagnose him from afar with a mental illness. JFC.

I'm forced to agree here. There's a difference between "let's talk about mental illness" and "let's assign everyone some form of mental illness."

Brandon’s regression is a big reason the team is under performing expectations. More so than the freshmen
February 20th, 2022 at 12:28 PM ^
Really though? Diabate and Hunter have been good. At best, Johns is getting spot minutes off bench. Personally I see Houstan’s spot as the most underperforming. That’s 35+ minutes a game. You can see when Houstan plays well, this team is tough to beat.

Houston does not look like the "one and done" player many made him out to be preseason.
I think aside from his freshmen struggles, Devontae's performance at point has been disappointing. I wrongfully assumed he could just slide into that role like every other PG Juwan has had, but he is just lacking sonething.

Maybe early in year. Jones has been pretty good last month. He brings you what he brings on O, but definitely one of the better players on this team. This team plays better when he’s on floor. Brooks and Jones are best two guards, and it isn’t even close. One of the main reasons Michigan has progressed this year is Jones + Hunter dominating. Diabate could be, but he just has some games where he’s in foul trouble or just off.

Welcome to the club Terrance.

Perhaps Jace will play more today? Seems like he might a good defender on Johnny Davis.

Jace is listed as a 6'7" guard, so he's got the size.
