With Underwood being so high on DGL, maybe he needs to starts and have Rodgers come off the bench.
They need another playmaker/scorer in there with Hawkins being so inefficient on offense and Guerrier being limited on offense.
It's basically 2 vs 5 on the offensive end when the current starting unit is out there.
Underwood is notorious for being unwilling to make obvious needed changes.
I agree they need to sit Rodgers. He has 3 assists for the fucking year facilitating the offense.
For all of the hype about being a bigger guard who will get offensive boards he has 1 for the year.
He has made a good percentage of his limited shots, but is absolutely no threat to take anything except a layup.
Oh, and he is shooting 0% from the line. He never draws fouls.
He is a nothingburger. He hurts us by his limited contribution and what he cannot do. Defenses can hedge off him and plug the paint.
I would zone the fuck out of us or play man with zone principles.
We can't take 33 threes a night and beat any good teams. We can take 20-25 threes a night as long as only certain guys are taking them.
Rodgers somehow played 29 minutes last night. We all knew UW wiould ride that horse he committed to when he whiffed this summer.
How long is the question.
I would start Goode.
Bring Rodgers and Dainja off the bench to sub for Hawkins or Guerrier.
Bring DGL along as first guard/wing to spell one of TSJ/Domask/Goode and hope he develops.
All three of TSJ, Domask, and DGL can penetrate in half court at times and get a shot off or make basic kick outs or dump downs.
None run the PnR well, but UW has never featured it.
All three have to be played up on as they can shoot the three sort of.
Nobody else on team can do all of those enough for defense to have to worry about it.
We have a really shit group of players in terms of offensive skillsets, but that is what he recruits.
He wants to drag people into a street brawl. Terrible roster construction as always.
Domask and TSJ need to run the team and play 30+ mpg. They are our best players and most well rounded offensively.
You then have three 3 point threats at all times to get spacing as long as Goode or DGL is out there also.
Teams can right now totally layoff Rodgers, Guerrier, Hawkins, and Dainja.
DGL only got 7 minutes last night. Fucking play him.
