This game will tell us whether Bucky is a potential 1 seed or at least a 2, or whether they end up as a 3.

 

Long term, they really need Jackson back. Koenig's been great and might be better than Jackson (certainly on offense). However, Jackson has a take-charge, there's no Fing way were losing this game, attitude that seems to be infectious.

 

More importantly, there is no dropoff from Jackson to Koenig in terms of quality of play. However, the dropoff from either Koenig or Jackson to Showalter is huge. Right now, with Dukan's struggles recently, they really only can count on 5 guys in key situations. Several times in the last month, they've taken Frank, Sam, and one of the guards out after getting an 8-10 point lead after 6-8 minutes of play. They use that stretch to play Dukan, Vitto Brown, and Showalter and end up giving back the lead. Putting Koenig or Jackson in that group instead of Brown or Showalter would make a huge difference.

Yup.....need the bench to step up. I never really expected Brown or Showalter to play important roles in big, close games. I am concerned about Dukan tho.

he was playing great with not any drop off when he came in. It is not just his shot, he seems to be struggling in all aspects of the game.

 

Confidence or lack of?  Not sure but we need him.

This team is not as good as everyone thought ....
Short bench and at best spotty on-ball defense, against good teams need to go back to Buckyball hold the ball for full clock, focus on defense and quit taking first shot available.
They keep playing with spotty on-ball defense and they will not go far in tournament with this bench play.
