Can Watford play the rest of the year like first half against Tenn??

(no message)

I was really pleased with his game yesterday. Pons might be the best defender in the country and I was worried Trendon would try to force things against him. But he didn’t and he kept Pons occupied away from the basket most of the game. Super unselfish performance from him.

He played well yesterday. He was much more under control and and used much better touch on his shots after driving in.

Watford was more engaged defensively yesterday than he has been since the TTU game. Offensively, he was kind of taken out of the game. His usage rate was the second lowest among the starters (second only to Hyatt, though Hyatt was MUCH more efficient since he delivered on the relatively small number of offensive plays he got a chance to make).

LSU has the luxury of having 4 guys who can put up big numbers every night. They don't HAVE to rely on Watford to do all of the lifting. Thus, nights when he is overly selfish really hurt the team because it is unnecessarily taking plays away from guys who are also very capable players. He didn't force things yesterday. And hopefully the "big 3" are starting to understand just how important Days is for this team. If they are willing to give up some shots to Days when he pops open LSU's offense becomes incredibly tough to stop because all 5 defenders have to be dragged out to the perimeter...creating a ton of space for everybody to work. Days is the most efficient offensive player in the SEC by a pretty good margin

More concerning is the lack of rebounding. Only Thomas had fewer rebounds. For a team that really struggles in allowing offensive rebounds they really need him to help out Days more.

Eh, he had alot agaisnt bama because we missed so many shot against them, and alot of those shots were his own real close to the goal, so he was in good position to get the rounds

As long as he doen't be himself and act like an AH.

Wade or someone must of gotten through to him that he was killing his NBA stock. The way we were playing on offense was causing all of the players without the ball to stand around. Then after the more than likely bad shot or turnover we were flatfooted and our opponent was off and running on offense.

The last 2 games we have had much better ball movement, which has caused the players to be more engaged and a better shooting percentage. These 2 things have helped us get back and setting up our defense much better taking away many of the easy baskets and wide open looks we have been giving up.
