Starting Lineup and Rotation

I agree with everything you said. Waters regression has been the most disappointing part to me. Dude was a preseason all American.

Waters’ regression and rebounding. Wade went out and recruited guys that had good high school rebounding prowess. It has not translated in the slightest with this team.

I was with you until you said Edwards needs an increased role.... that’s hilarious.

The dude is a liability. Did you not watch today’s game, at all?

I did and think he’s better than he’s shown tonight and this season in particular.

I think Daryl Edwards needs a bigger role.

Holy shite, if so we might not win another game

I’m sorry but I haven’t been impressed with Reid’s play whatsoever. Appears to be touted so highly only because of his size.

He has terrible rebounding fundamentals and no idea how to use his size to get open in the paint. Only takes poorly selected 3s and tries to slam it down. Just seems to half assedly trot around the court.

I get these huge recruits are very likely 1 and don’t but it doesn’t even look like he has an interest in faking it at this point.

What’s truly amazing and depressing is over the last 2 games and long break for extra practice time to make changes, Wade started playing Naz on the block or at the FT line and we looked like we had the makings of an identity offensively. He also played KVB 25 minutes + and we had a rim protector/rebounder that took pressure and foul trouble away from Naz. Tonight Wade reverted back to what didn’t work and killed us in the big games this year. Naz isn’t a 5, he’s a guy who grew late and hasn’t played near the basket most of his life. He also doesn’t have the lift or understanding of angles to be a competent defensive center. He’s a pure 4 who can step away from the basket occasionally. Bigby-Williams is your only center and he played fewer minutes than fricking Edwards!! This is the flashpoint of all our problems. Our rebounding and defensive numbers when KVB, Days and Taylor are on the floor at the same time are top 10 for points per possession and top 5 for rebounding pct yet for whatever reason Wade won’t play KVB. When Houston went on the big run we had Emmitt at the 5 and Taylor at 4. These things are elementary for anyone who knows basketball, my fear is that Wade, who never played basketball, is totally analytic driven and has no feel or intimate knowledge of the game. I also suspect that these high level recruits own him and this is why you’re seeing the street ball offense instead of the super efficient offense we ran last season.

I agree with the Smart comment. I see him taking more of a leadership role every game. At some point this will be his team. I also saw Reid playing more down low although not enough. he can dominate with his size and quickness drawing fouls even if he doesn't score.They need to value possessions at the end of these games. That and the fact that they got out hustled on the boards at the end. That is the most disappointing thing I have seen this year. We should be dominating the board with our size and athletic ability.Rebounding is strictly attitude and effort.If they can fix those 2 things, they can still have a great season. If they don't. It's NIT.

Is not a 3 at all and not sure why people continue to think he can play there.

Put Emmitt Williams at the three.

Jesus folks, he's NOT A THREE. Dude is a traditional power forward. Just because he's 6'6 doesnt mean he's a fit a tthe 3.
