Gotta admit that I got caught up in all the hoppla on the MBB team. We see it in such volume from the "pundits" most of which haven't watched all that much WSU Hoop through the years. The Analytics boys, the NET boys, the new guys who break down in video all the plays.
I read about and heard from no other than Coach Smith how good Jeff K was going to be. Fastest guy on the team, best defender, etc, etc. Frankly he certainly didn't pan out. I am now hearing the same thing about Myles Rice though not in such glowing terms. All I can say is we shall see.
Efe is not a pro, and not destined to be a pro. Jaki has a nice 3-point stroke, rebounds well and defends pretty good. Noach much have girl problems. Mo I think will be fine if he doesnt hit the portal as we don't appear to run enough to suit his game.
Our defense on the whole is excellent. Recruiting is quite good, but its like Solomon Ominu, who is our only 2022. He hasn't been seen in the US so far. Visa problems from Nigeria.
I don't want to see any more SG/PG combo's who are less than 6-3. These lineups that we have are always at a disadvantage.
Wings and finishing and finishers should be the word of the day. Jaki needs to slow down a bit and use his bulk to finish.
Coach Smith needs to have his eyes examined if he actually said that Ghost is the best guard on-ball defender.
This team is right where the media pickem 'em. 8th in the Pac and needs 4 wins to make the NIT. All of this NET crap is just that CRAP.
