Surprised to not see it posted yet, but Aaron Thompson (the best defender in the Big East per synergy) is out for tonight’s game with a wrist injury.

Baddley questionable with the flu. That’s not a big deal normally, but guard depth is now an issue with Thompson out. Baldwin has had a bad wrist too.

Thompson plays 33 minutes a game and leads team with 5 assists per game.

David was playing 14 minutes a game as second guy off the bench. 

A lot of minutes with a very short bench.

And conversely, the other usual suspects will excuse the loss and say "it's hard to win on the road" blah blah blah. Even though, they will have no Guard depth, and playing without the best defender in the BE.

Title: Re: Butler Game Thread
Post by: TAMU, Knower of Ball on January 24, 2020, 07:49:03 PM
No Thompson and no David means two of the top candidates for defending Markus are out. I assume they will try Jordan Tucker most of the night. If he gets in foul trouble or worn down the only other real option is Kamar Baldwin. McDermott and Nze are too slow and Battle is promising but plays defense like a freshman. I think Baldwin's lack of height will give Markus an edge and if he gets into foul trouble or worn out defending Markus, I'm not sure the Bulldogs will be able to score enough.

Thompson is also the floor general. Baldwin can play point but does not create for others the way Thompson does. I'd expect Baldwin and McDermott to play near the entire game. One of Golden and Smits will be on the floor at all times and Battle will sub in for Nze and Tucker when they need breathers. I think this also takes away Butler's ability to go small and fast. They sometimes play with Nze at the 5 and I think they will need him covering the 4 so Tucker can cover the 3 with the lack of guard depth.

They go a step further actually. Now that butler's 4th best guy is out a game on the road to a ranked team becomes an inexcusable loss. It's absolutely ludicrous. So if we win well cant give that much credit to the coaches or players because we "should have won" anyways. And if we lose we can all complain to no end because we should have won. Its ridiculous.

Donny Marshall really kind of calling Markus our at the half and again postgame. Markus last made shot was at 15 minute mark of reg..meaning he’d didn’t have a make for last 20 minutes of game with OT added.

Here is where I disagree--Markus insisted on playing 1-on-5 for the last few minutes of the game.  It is one thing to simply have an off shooting game--then we take the bad with the good.  But when he dominates the ball, refuses to pass, turns it over, and fires up a 26-footer the second he touches the ball after Koby/Sacar bring it up...that's just bad basketball.

Tell that to a Pro Wojo and they will get you banned for 2 weeks....lol

It's a shame that Markus has such poor discipline.  He's not going to make the NBA because of it.  He's a liability and shouldn't be as a senior.  Wojo should have coached that out of him last year.

The leash that Wojo gives Howard is ridiculous.  It was the same way he handled Henry Ellenson.  He doesn’t coach he just lets the star player run wild.  Meanwhile all the other players don’t develop.  Some here assume Howard is our only talent capable of scoring.  How can you think that when they are not given the freedom to participate in the offense since Howard has the ultimate green light despite being ice cold.  If he was hampered by hitting the chair, put him on the bench.  Howard seems like a great guy, but damn, this is on Wojo.  I like Wojo but not as a coach.  Relying on your star player to get you wins as opposed to coaching the team is not coaching.  Players have regressed and lost confidence under his watch and that’s on Wojo.

True. I do agree. I’ve just come to peace with it - as this is the bed Wojo made by giving him the ultimate green light. However it is also the reason why I’ve posted I wouldn’t want to play with him..probably why the Hausers left too.

Catch 22 though because Markus does make a fair amount of those step back 25’ shots so..what do you do?

I do think he’s fatiguing at end of games. Shooting 20+ times per game, plus running off screens baseline, plus defending while being undersized?  Thats a lot to ask. Guessing his shooting percentage for season is lower in 2nd half.

If anybody has a tape, please post video of the pick Howard pretended to set for Sacar late in OT. After Howard let the defender breeze by, Sacar had to alter his shot to avoid the defender (May have even gotten a piece) and his shot rimmed out. Even a marginal pick rather than blowing him a kiss would’ve resulted in a basket for Sacar.
