Davis really needs to work on his offensive game. He stands around most of the time and is shooting a lot of jumpers. He really needs to attack the basket.

Our defense in the paint was absolutely embarrassing tonight.

Monty really needs to stop putting so many defense oriented players on the court at the same time. 1. They aren't super elite defenders. 2. Guys like Aminu, Mcquire, and Thomas have absolutely zero offensive game outside of the occasional put back.

Vasquez had another nice game even though his shot wasn't falling early. He has averaged 19 ppg and 11 apg over the last five games with a 3 a/to ratio.

Despite what some people seem to think, he's not a guard anymore. He's a big man. You can't give him the ball at the 3 point line, spread the floor, and have him "attack the basket."

They don't give him the ball in the post so he needs to keep working on his mid range jumper. Until then, he'll need to be set up to score by his teammates, like any other big.

Agreed on all accounts. Vasquez definitely the best player on the team right now. We need to stop playing so many players and learn to win with the few competitors we actually do have.
