This is a Jones-esque collapse. He is going to MASSIVELY underachieve with his “most talented team.” A team that inexplicably quit at the end of the season despite having a decent record and likely NCAAT spot. A team that quit on HIM. All while he just stands there quietly emasculated

C'mon man, this team hasn't quit. They are who they have shown to be.
They are front runners. Any adversity they fold.
They play no defense. Their O is their D. They need Days hitting open looks, and lately he hasn't.

No doubt, it's talented, but 2018's team had Waters, Naz, Mays, Bigby-Williams, Emmitt Williams, Marlon Taylor along with the guys on this team like Smart and Days. That roster was loaded. Waters, Naz and Mays are currently playing in the NBA and Naz is averaging double digits for his career so far. That team was extremely athletic. Waters was a true point guard who was a way better overall player than a guy like Cam who is great at scoring, but not much else.

This team has had stretches where they have looked really good and it seemed like the light was coming on (like the three dominant games before the Georgia collapse), but then they fall into old habits. Just inconsistent without many in-game adjustments. For instance, Days should have been sent down low after he was 0-5 on 3s. Instead he ended the game 0-8 on 3s with not one 2-point attempt and only 2 rebounds.
