But so is health insurance so this is a double edged sword.

Chase and Nigel alone, along with a few games of Ben/Parham hitting some timely 3s will get them above 10 wins imo.

Gonna need several games shooting 35% or better from 3 though, since facing improved defenses will lead to more 3P attempts, and we haven't seen that from this group

Agreed with this:  I chose 10-15 wins.  I also like your post above that said you gave Shaka credit for starting James and Stevens.  I think Parham is next.  I also like what Zaide did before getting hurt in the Wisconsin game.  Needs to play like that on offense more often.

Don't know why but that Wisconsin game wasn't half as depressing as I thought it would be. Granted I watched it 2 days later and knew the outcome.  Some of the wide open threes were shot with confidence and just missed.  Parham scoring at the rim was great. Stevens looks under control and plays with purpose.  James is going to be really good but had some defensive lapses.  Chase had an off game but he will be fine.  Ben was fine. And I thought Jones provided good rest for James.  I would give Clark a few more minutes (why the heck not). He rebounds and blocks shots.  Also he can dunk if he gets it down low. 

10-15 wins seems entirely possible if these guys keep their heads up.  If Shaka loses the team for some reason, everything I said above has zero meaning.  I don't think he will.

Right.

I'm not going to blame this debacle on Ross.  In fact, about now he's probably thinking he should have ditched the
RGV for WINS ...

He's surrounded by an awful roster. 

Warrior- yep ...

Source?

Quote from: brewcity77 on December 08, 2025, 05:13:07 PMChase getting a C is ridiculous. He's the only reason this team has been competitive in the close losses we've had. Chase's efforts this year are close to on par with Kam last year just because he has so much less around him to work with.

Yeah, his defense has been a lot worse. But I assume that's mostly because of the necessary increase in his offensive role.
