He reminds me of Devin Booker’s year here where he couldn’t miss the first half of the year and couldn’t make a shot the second half. What gives?
What happened to Brea

I said this in another thread. Besides the occasional three Brea is absolutely useless. Can’t pass, dribble, play d……
It’s better to have Brea in the floor than Chandler.
He would look better if we had either of our PG's but yeah disappears a ton.
His poor defense is only equaled by his terrible passing. He's like little Johnny. When he's good he's very good. When he's bad, he's horrid.
My 15 year old can beat Brea off the dribble.
He was crowded at the 3-pt line. He’s not quick enough to drive past faster defenders. But those lazy passes piss me off.
I rather have Noah or at least try him
He really is one dimensional. I hoped last game when he got 7 FTs and some decent drives to the rim would be a turning point, but it doesn't look like it. And late in the game 2 turnovers in like three or four possessions, both on careless passes.
At the end of the game our top 3 PGs were out, which, not sure it would've mattered tonight, but that's hard to overcome. Knox and Richmond are good defenders on a bad night, and Wagner is decent as well
Brea is useless if he's not hitting 3s.
3 point shooting is so memorable and impactful but there were obviously reasons he came off the bench at Dayton.
He’s a one trick specialist. Great to have but the variance of 3 point shooting and his other deficiencies lead you to play with fire

We have others that can hit a three. Brea not only hurts you on the defensive end, but he constantly throws lazy passes, and just gives minimal effort. I'd rather Brea be planted firmly on the end of the bench. Zero effort is inexcusable.
Nobody shoots 70% from 3 for an entire season, so he was probably due for some regression regardless, but now that we’re into our conference schedule, his lack of athleticism is also more apparent. He’s not really capable of creating his own shot, and the wide open catch and shoot opportunities are much more scarce against the defenses we’re seeing now.
Chandler was the only guy who had a shot at staying in front of his guy on defense. That’s why he played so much. Brea was a revolving door.
I thought the turning point of the game was when he took that very long three (almost from half court) and missed. We had the momentum until then and it all shifted to Ark after that miss. I doubt he has the green light to shoot from anywhere on the court like that attempt.

Huge talent difference in the 2 … Koby will be selling cars while Book plays in NBA all star games . Only similarity is they both bomb well .
Milk Toast in high-level competitive games. Would be great in a game of horse. Just not a complete player that disappears too often.
Gotta play somebody,
News flash the defense sucks if he’s in or not

If Brea played for the other teams he was almost chose (UCONN, Duke), they’d be running sets to get him open shots. Instead he’s sitting on the bench while our coach is playing Colin Chandler (who hasn’t played basketball for a year while on a mission!) .
Brea is a skilled player and he didn’t have the athleticism to hang with Arkansas. Arkansas has some elite athletes. That’s why coaches have destroyed them with a zone defense. You play right into their hands when you let them beat you off the dribble the whole game and get in a rhythm.
Considering how bad Chandler has looked almost all season, tonight was honestly a remarkable game for him lol. He looked like one of the only guys we had who athletically was in the same ballpark as Arkansas. Definitely gives me hope for him next season.
I don't like the fact that he'll throw the ball away and not hustle back on defense. He makes gestures like it's his teammates fault.
The competition stepped up so that means the defense did also .
If he’s not getting good looks he just isn’t going to score a lot consistently.

He often looks like he doesn't want to be out there on the court, and I wanted to say this last night but I'll say it now. I don't think Kobe is a great teammate. Bad body language, doesn't work hard to get himself open, doesn't do the little things to create opportunities for the other guys.
The problem was our strategy, I still can’t believe we don’t zone more.
Teams are guarding the three point line, and this team need to adjust to it, push the ball into the paint then kick it back out, the only point we get in the paint are from driving especially when Carr was out.
I disagree, Brea is literally the laziest player I’ve ever seen play. The only thing he does is shoot 3’s. He doesn’t move without the ball, He’s a terrible passer, he cannot dribble. He’s an absolute liability on defense. Doesn’t even try on D. Chandler is not a great offensive player yet. At least he gives effort and gives you some semblance of defense. I’d rather give Brea’s shots to Ainsley.
A 22' step back 3, or a 26' off balance 3 is a turnovers 90% of the time. He has to understand that yes, there is a thing as a bad shot. He takes a ton of them.
