What I love about Pope is that he's forcing tempo. Calipari, and even Tubby, often allowed their opponents to dictate the pace of the game.I’d like to see us keep this- it means we’re playing wide open as God intended!
Go Big Blue
The way I look at it, we don't have a best player, we have a cohesive team.
That’s about it right there. Those 4 have stepped forward in the two competitive games that IK has played. Robinson was nowhere to be found in either.
Fair, but Robinson can certainly provide more than catch and shoot 3s.
He has shown the ability to slash, but only against Jackson state type teams. Against duke and WKU, he was very subdued.
Schedules are done years in advance. Cal wanted an easy early schedule for 5 new freshman every year.
Agree. I think Robinson's on the court nature is a little timid (probably a better descriptive word exists, but best I can think of now). But I also think that's ok with this team. I think it would actually hurt the team to have a guy dancing around, etc. trying to get his shot - you know, cross-over a couple of times, between the legs, stutter step up then back for a fade away 15-footer (Wow! What talent, right?).
I've been doing that since the season started. I really wanted Jaxson to be Antonio, but he's just not going to fill those shoes.
Our schedule is perfect against those teams schedules.
I think you can upgrade some of those tune-up games from a Georgia State and Jackson State to an Ohio and a Notre Dame. That gives you competition that can beat you, but you still have the advantage. I can’t see you learning as much about your team when you have the size, skill and speed advantage at virtually every position by such a margin. I’m not in favor of going a Michigan State level schedule where year in and year out they get multiple out of conference losses before they begin Big 10 play, but I also think more than two or three purely tune up games against significantly inferior competition is unnecessary and/or redundant. At least that’s my take on it.
To me I want to see Robinson in that 5-8 floater range more often. He makes them almost every time the 2 games they got him those type of shots.
That should give him more space on the 3pt. shot too.
Yeppers. Plays good enough defense. Get's deflections, steals, and blocks. Good players find ways to impact games when the shots aren't falling.
Exactly what you were calling for from Robinson in the first half. What was that, two floaters?
