UNC vs VIRGINIA GAME THREAD

Brandon Robinson has good energy but he literally Runs into other players in the half court offense. Like we do not practice spacing and proper movement without the ball? He looks like an idiot.

Yeah he straight cut off Kenny who was coming out of a curl.

Ya. Top 50-60 guy who hasn't improved. Runs around like a spazz and chicken with his head cut off. Roy needs talent to run his system. Some of these dudes just don't fit here-like at all.
 
I wish Cam would just shoot when he has some room. He's letting the defense get into him and then trying to drive, which isn't working.
Yes. He was supposed to fill a Justin Jackson role somewhat , right? It’s like he has been told he is the 4th or 5th scoring option. So instead we pass it around until someone turns it over or we jack up a guarded 30 footer as the shot clock goes to zero.
 
And we now realize what I’ve said all along, having depth (bodies) vs quality depth are 2 totally different things. We have 6 players with a pulse and the rest are a rotating group of “chickens with their heads cut off” who look completely lost.

It's gonna be hard to reconstruct this roster, because our '16 and '17 classes are both our largest and least talented. For the next 2 years the open scholarships are going to come from our best players (Berry, Pinson, Williams, White, Little) leaving. Which is basically treading water.

He was never going to play like Justin. I just wanted him to bomb 3pt shots - which I still think he can do, but we don't create any good looks on offense, which makes him a lot less useful.
 
Felton's struggles to beat people off the dribble - he's reliant on tricky ball-handling rather than explosiveness. It's disappointing.
 
Joel still working hard on defense..... wonder if he's thinking he'd prefer to be doing this in the G-League, or in China, Europe, Australia etc instead.
 
UVA has quietly had a bunch of empty possessions in a row. Problem is, so have we.
 
Bunch of us bought into the hype of beating some crappy teams early on. No shame in that. We’re seeing now how short on talent we are though. We’ll get better. We lost to uva on the road last year. Fsu is damn good. Just quit expecting players to play beyond their skill set. Maye cant create a shot against skilled big men. Hes just not athletic enough. Our freshman bigs should be backing up someone and developing a few years before starting but we cant do that. Cam is a spot up shooter and nothing else. Fact is berry is prob the only player on our roster that would start for fsu, miami, dook, uva, or notre dame. It is what it is.

Kenny would start for a lot of teams. He's an outstanding 3-and-D role player.

Theo would as well.

Our problem is that we have a bunch of players who don't fit together. We have too many complementary players. Kenny fits well with Jackson. Theo fits well with Jackson. Kenny doesn't fit well with Theo.
 
Love our players but we suck on defense and are anemic on offense add to that uva just about beats us Everytime we play them Bennett's style is taylor made to shut UNC down. We really do look like hatchells team on d. Every team in America has to be licking their chops to get to play us because we leave people super wide open

I'll say this... Theo and Kenny fit well together early.
What has changed in the last 4 games?
What is different on the floor?
Could it be, adding another offensive player midway through the season doesn't work?
 
Shorten the bench, play small ball primarily and see where the chips fall. That’s our best bet. We are short on talent, especially offensively and can not afford to continue and play no less than 2 players on the floor at any given time who is ZERO threat offensively. We simply can’t do that.

Our bigs are as bad as we all hoped they wouldn’t be when looking at their rankings coming in. The scary part is that we don’t have any young talent to build around right now, and no save the Day big man coming next year or year after to shore up what we have right now. Outside of Berry, we have a bunch of kids that in most years would be our 5th or 6th option at best who are now counted on to produce. Beer me...
 
We just shot 8-31 from 2 - just under 26%. We also had 19 turnovers.

Only things keeping this from being a complete massacre were decent 3pt shooting (i.e., not MSU bad) and 19 offensive boards.
