ldssdl Intervention Needed

turnover ratio is not good enough when you're average to below average in literally everything else a PG needs to do.

I would love to have a Dallin Hall type player

That’s good. Well done.

We need Hall back next year if we want another Sweet 16 run. BYU just can't recruit

CSoul

Mar 28, 7:35pm

If he’s the starter byu won’t be in the sweet 16

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:37pm

My post was assuming him as a backup.

CSoul

Mar 28, 8:12pm

But AJ and KY want to make a run at a FF and NC. Hall needs to be the backup

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:47pm

I didn't say he should be the starter. Which I assume the laughy faces were for. The standard crew that hates Hall.

CSoul

Mar 28, 8:12pm

It’s not Hate at all if you don’t see Hall being a meaningful piece of a top 25 team

KYU

Mar 28, 7:35pm

He was a meaningful piece of a top 25 team already the last two years.

Last night isn’t even the ceiling we’ve seen from him already, let alone what

gwalker

Mar 28, 7:51pm

I like Hall but we shouldn’t be content if someone better is available.

Mar 28, 8:44pm

Cohesiveness is super important. Unless Egor comes back Hall is our PG.

pinolero

Mar 28, 8:54pm

Is it? The vast majority of the Sweet 16 teams showed the majority of their

ldssdl

Mar 28, 8:58pm

Yes it is. Did you play sports?

pinolero

Mar 28, 9:01pm

It’s a factor but someone new who is better can also be cohesive.

Albuq_Coug

Mar 28, 9:07pm

Yes. You know what else is super important? Talent.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 9:13pm

I felt like he was a non-contributor more often this year than he was a contributor

KYU

Mar 28, 7:44pm

Demin was pretty inconsistent this year. There were many games where Hall was

bluesloth

Mar 28, 7:52pm

There were plenty of times he came in and steadied the ship when Demin turned

gwalker

Mar 28, 7:53pm

Everyone knows that with CBB you’ll go as far as your guard play takes you

deliciousmocha

Mar 28, 8:27pm

He’s not a scoring threat and he doesn’t make fts.

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:36pm

Not to mention, his stats dropped off even more in post season play

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:38pm

If you want to go beyond the Sweet 16, Hall is not the answer

arizonacougarfan

Mar 28, 7:38pm

There are plenty of good things about Dallin Hall. But he isn't much of a playmaker. I bet 80% of his assists this

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 7:39pm

Against VCU and Wiscy he had 10 assists, 2 TO’s

mjmill

Mar 28, 7:41pm

He also had 6 points on 2-7 shooting. That’s not good enough.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:48pm

Next year, with so many shots going to Richie and AJ, he doesn’t need to take

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 8:50pm

Based on what? Most great teams have at least 3, if not 4, high level scorers.

ldssdl

Mar 28, 9:00pm

He needs to be able to score. You can't play a pro offense with a perimeter player that can't score.

kimdaddy35

Mar 28, 9:12pm

And he'll be even better next year. Just hope his dagger step back rears it's

jaba166

Mar 29, 12:35am

I also love Dallin, not sure he is a starter on a final four caliber team

Projectoor

Mar 28, 7:39pm

He's a mostly steady, quality player who is a step below the

oxcoug

Mar 28, 7:40pm

Let's be honest, though. Richie works as a Final-4 talent NOT as primary scorer.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:47pm

Was supposed to be a response to Projectoor — one above you in the thread, ox.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:53pm

Silly fans who imagined our team was built to do things it wasn't...

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:42pm

So because we don’t see him as a starter on a sweet 16 team we are all terrible

BYU '80

Mar 28, 7:44pm

For this reason, perhaps: We're NOT IN the Sweet 16 without Dallin Hall.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 28, 7:48pm

You can't have 5 superstars. Hall fits well with Ritchie, Aj, Keita. Hall leads

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:46pm

He was last night.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Mar 28, 7:49pm

He saved us several times this year. We're not a 6 seed without him.

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:50pm

Wasn’t the only last night…

BYUHgrad

Mar 28, 8:51pm

Hall is certainly a liability from the FT line. His shooting efficiency is only

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:49pm

5 assists per game last year. 4 in less minutes this year. He can knock down

pinolero

Mar 28, 7:54pm

Last year we went 10-8 in Big 12 play, never winning more than 2 in a row, then

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:57pm

Last year was our first in the Big 12 and we don't make the tourney without him.

pinolero

Mar 28, 8:08pm

Yes. But if you don't think we can't upgrade from 7 ppg on 40/35/67 shooting,

ldssdl

Mar 28, 8:19pm

He's not good enough to be the distributor AJ deserves

TNT

Mar 28, 8:39pm

Halls decision making is very good. Cohesion he adds is extremely important too.

pinolero

Mar 28, 8:53pm

Expectations for next year will be off the charts. Hall isn't the guy

TNT

Mar 28, 8:59pm

I think he was an underrated player on this team. He would always hype up Egor

CougarChaser

Mar 28, 7:49pm

If your PG’s best stat is a sub-3:1 assist:TO ratio in the regular season,

ldssdl

Mar 28, 7:52pm

His 2.86 ratio in 23-24 was second only to Jamal Shead of UH among Big 12 guards. His 2.56 ratio this year was top 5

mjmill

Mar 28, 8:42pm

Ok. But Hall is not above average in literally any other stat. A sub 3 assist-to

ldssdl

Mar 28, 9:02pm

I would love to see him back, healthy & under a full off-season of development

braddahmike

Mar 28, 8:23pm

I agree. Solid player. I see him working hard this summer
