Here is why Demin and Hall should NOT be on the floor together

Archaea

12/15/24 7:31am

Yep ... but it may create other problems.

runnincoug

12/15/24 7:35am

You no longer plan beyond this year.

Archaea

12/15/24 7:38am

I tend to agree, and wonder if Knell may start come conference time. OR ...

runnincoug

Archaea Totally gets it!

12/15/24 8:30am

Hall will get a lot of minutes this year and Young will use him in combinations

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:42pm

Knell scores everywhere...let's hope he does this when playing superior

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:40pm

I really like Dallin but I agree. I’d play Demin 25- 30 minutes a game and Hall

VACougMD

12/15/24 7:36am

I’d move Catchings to the bench before Hall

Remigius

12/15/24 7:39am

Catchings has a high upside. He is forcing it

Coming off the bench may help Catchings.

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:44pm

not the same position. We need Catchings' length for defense/rebounding

runnincoug

12/15/24 7:54am

"Need" is a strong word.

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:45pm

Same here. Start Egor-Hall-Knell-Saunders-Keita, Egor at 6'9 guards the 4.Kanon

pinolero

12/15/24 8:32am

Cannon puts us in the hole early with poor shot selection. Each missed shot is

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:48pm

Terrible idea. His upside is massive.

Born2Fish

12/15/24 8:56am

He's not playing that well though. 29% 3 pt shooter with high volume. Bring him

pinolero

12/15/24 9:00am

His defense is very good

Archaea

12/15/24 10:52am

I love random guys on a message board think they know more than a coach with more than a decade of NBA experience

Adrielle

12/15/24 7:43am

Or random critics of critics.

Archaea

12/15/24 7:45am

If Kevin Young were running for anything I would vote for him

44C

12/15/24 3:00pm

Not sure if you are aware but this is a SPORTS message board. A place where a

kotacoug

12/15/24 7:48am

The board is only for critiquing KY or to also critique the critiques?

BYU'01

12/15/24 11:53am

So don’t say anything even though Young has said himself that there is an issue

KYU

12/15/24 9:05am

So what should he discuss exactly? He made an argument on a discussion board

cajuncoug

12/15/24 10:31am

"Random guys?" I beg your pardon!

^^^ Here is why the coaches should coach and the fans should just watch and enjoy

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:51pm

This teams biggest challenge is on the defensive end

Charles Darwin

12/15/24 7:51am

That is Egor’s challenge.

Archaea

12/15/24 8:07am

Doesn’t seem we’ve figured out the scheme at times. At others, scheme seems bad

cajuncoug

12/15/24 10:41am

Seems like we figured it out against Wyo.

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:52pm

Or Wyoming figured it out for us by not being good

cajuncoug

12/15/24 1:14pm

Not a popular opinion, but Demin has only played well against poor competition

downtownchrisbrown

12/15/24 7:52am

His shot has digressed as well.. we’ll see how Demin plays out here but I

kotacoug

12/15/24 7:54am

I don't think so either, but based on OP saying we have to choose, that's what I

downtownchrisbrown

12/15/24 7:58am

If you can’t see his obvious talent and skill, we can’t help you.

SoCalCoug

12/15/24 8:38am

The idea they can’t play together is born of a take on basketball that has been

Charles Darwin

12/15/24 8:41am

So far, it's born of watching them play together.

SoCalCoug

12/15/24 1:40pm

I can disagree. Just because you like him

Archaea

12/15/24 9:02am

A little TBD on Demin/Hall combo...but it does seem to be more in tha Rudi Williams/Hall and Hardnett/TJ Haws category

mokelembembe

12/15/24 8:15am

I think we need either another Egor or

Archaea

12/15/24 8:17am

We need a point guard that is a constant threat to score when he has the ball.

Plantagenet

12/15/24 12:55pm

I think I'll trust KY more than Archaea on this one.

TheLoneCougar

12/15/24 8:48am

Sit down with KY, I'm sure he would listen to the all knowing Archaea.

Phiburt

12/15/24 9:05am

What's wrong with mundane assists? Makes the flashy ones flashier.

VertProbs

12/15/24 11:24am

The Serbian kid is a black hole. Started strong but now not so much

fan32

12/15/24 1:59pm

I like that KY spreads playing time and gives players opportunities to develop.
