It's one game, but.....

You seriously think Ross is a big drop from Stevie? 

Big is subjective, but Stevie to date was a much better college basketball player. Highlight dunks are awesome, but Stevie consistently impacted games in ways that helped MU win. Chase has 4+ months to prove me wrong.

He is improving.  He has a ways to go.

A long way.

Hamilton is running the kind of post offense that some MU fans have been calling for. Creating g from the high, mid, low post.  Backing people down and trying to score.  This is what some fans wanted Oso to do, wanted Ben to do last season.  Not necessarily my thing. 

He is clearly still mistake prone.  Learning which play to make which time.  But, like with all of the young player, the only thing to do is learn from it and get better.

Only one game but this was exactly what I was afraid this season was going to look like. A whole bunch of dribbling without much of anything resulting, a whole lot of guys who have never been asked to be the man now having to be the man, and looking extremely uncomfortable. Sean and Owens need to figure out how to do anything positive. Caedin has come a long way.  Nigel and Adrien are looking better than I hoped. Zaide needs to assert himself more.

A whole bunch of dribbling without much of anything resulting

You've pretty much summed up Jones right there.

Nobody is longing for Woji but I am expressing some worry over the roster construction as long as Shaka refuses to bring in any transfers, particularly when two of his best players were transfers

I'm 100% behind Shaka, but the no transfer strategy is not working. I honestly thought it was a great pathway to success, but not buying in any more.

It's a great way to build a roster around long-term transfers or guys unearthed by others. As demonstrated by Shaka for 4 years.

We did a lot of superfluous dribbling and had a terrible assist/turn ratio.  We have a lot of capable guards but there's no doubt Sean was brutal today.  He has to be much, much, better. 

My biggest concern is still Parham and Owens.  I think playing Hamilton with Parham or Gold is problematic on the defensive end.  And frankly Ben has been Bill Russell conpared to Royce and Damarius. We havd to get production fron both of these guys imo.  They often look completely lost out there.  I'm very confused as to why and hope it's just early season jitters.

I have to believe we will get better.
But so will all the other teams.
If we are currently a 3 out of 10 and other teams are currently a 6 out of 10 we would lose.
Will our rate of improvement drastically outpace others so that we will be the better team when we play them in the future months?
Past seasons strongly question this.

I do not support annual roster overhaul, but a teansfer or two to fill gap, what's wrong with that? Ee knew we needed a three point shooter, why not go get a grad transfer from Sam Houston?

IU had 27 assists, 8 turns.

MU 10 assists, 15 turns. 

If MU is not forcing turnovers and wearing teams down, what's our best way to beat the best teams.  We have to find better options/sets in our h-c offense.
