Interesting point about how well we'll respond to pressure

On one hand, I am concerned about the ability of our point guards to handle pressure. I think that Rech's ball-handling is OK but not great, and Hammond has the quickness but not the experience. On the other hand, we have the athleticism to make opponents pay once we break pressure, which is a welcome change from previous years. I hope to see some highlight dunks for Lawal and TJ in transition, which could open up 3PT opportunities for Schutt and Young. ** Edited by win-tech at 11/13/2024, 9:26:11 AM

Rech certainly didn't fare well in limited mins against similar teams....

I'm less concerned with the turnovers than the fact that this team hasn't..

Reichsteiner is a good ball handler just lacks confidence
Hoke 11/13/24 11:07 AM ET
i think he just doesnt have the explosive burst necessary

He has above average strength for a PG

Good points. Thanks for the analysis. **

At this point it would be coaching malfeasance not to throw presses, traps
Vippie1 11/13/24 11:06 AM ET
I think we will see some of both **

True. Lawal, Hammond & Johnson could thrive in open court type
hokiepro 11/13/24 09:10 AM ET
They could, if MY lets them.

I think they will take what they can get
