MBB: The Real Season see an im feeling way worse than most people posting. After TJ and potentially Siler, we have a HUGE drop off in offense.
We have:
- very solid Defense
- decent/solid inside scoring
- the best floor general in the league with TJ
- discipline: we honestly run one of the most beautiful and intelligent offenses in CB. I think in part to the fact that we don’t have true scorers
We don’t have:
- a single player player outside of TJ and maybe siler who can score on their own
- consistent shooting especially from 3pt land.
My feeling is that scoring is tough for this team. If we fall behind, I don’t feel confident that we can make those much needed runs. TJ is an absolute machine. Every time he has the ball im yelling at the screen “put the team on your back!”
Little to no scoring support for him though. His assists would be way up if we had some knock down shooters which would in turn also open the lane for him to score more easily. Until we prove we can shoot it’s going to be very easy for teams to clog the middle and play support D.
I think we are bottom half for sure as the big west is loaded this year.
Jim Les, while intense, is an incredible coach. This team lacks talent but is pretty disciplined and incredibly smart. If we had the athletes that say SB, Fullerton, Or Irvine have, he’s the coach that could take the team to the next level.
My main focus when it comes to basketball is March madness. I view it as the opportunity to put Davis on the map and bring in the recruits that we all want to see. The team we should have had last year (TJ & Chima) was our best bet to make the MM upset alert. Anything can happen though and I’m sure this team will continue to grow. With how “old” this team is in terms of seniority, you’d wish we’d be in a better spot and the rebuilding would be happening the following year.
