I love how White's finding his midrange game in the flow of the offense. Very consistent now.
Down low, Poole had similar struggles as a FR. He'd do everything right but didn't succeed for lack of strength or experience. Now he's a solid rebounder and can finish inside.
His Soph jump could be special if he ties himself to the hip of our strength & conditioning guy.

You have a right to your opinion but you totally wrong about white.How can you produce if you don't get time to produce and not allowed to make a mistake you tell me.None of the 2 guard wasn't allowed to prove itself on the court. I agree 100% - the quick substitutions aren't allowing the kids to get into a flow and get a feel for the game and, IMO, the young ones are so afraid to make a mistake and get yanked that they go away from instinct and end up making what look like dumb mistakes by overthinking. I understand that Jimmy wants to drive his points home but I think he should let some stuff ride for a possession or two. They know they miss a layup and don't need to be reminded. Maurice is a hell of a ballplayer with good instincts, a big heart and quick feet. When you are learning to ride a bike and fall off, the thing to do is get back on, not go sit and think about the fall! I agree with that, Maurice is a great ball player with good instincts, as I have said many times before. I think he is going to be an explosive player with tons of upside, same thing with Lavon, just in a different way. But I think JP knows what he is doing, these kids have to understand who the coach is and that there is zero tolerance. When they can be trusted I am sure JP with let them play - until then keep the reins on.

White has a huge upside , He's feisty and not afraid to mix it up which I love. Now, when he can finish he will be awesome. Jo is below my expectations but I think the injury was a huge setback. Wright is much better than I expected. I am also disappointed with Oliver and Audu, I thought under a new coach they would shine but that star is fading. After mom Long's hyping of Lavon I'm a bit disappointed, I was expecting a game changer in the kid. Next year we will be really good. Actually, I think Lavon is a game changer - just not at the 1, 2 or 3....

I don't know if anyone noticed the last couple of games Patsos had been a little slower with the hook. I saw white miss a layup and expected to see the quick pull but he left him out there.
Not every player is going to take that quick hook well. The thing about white is if you see him make a mistake, almost every time within the following 30 seconds to a minute he will get a big steal or grab a tough rebound to make up for it.

White is bringing it all together just a matter of consistency. He touches a lot if bald and he and wright are good rebounders.
He needs to keep taking the 10 footer rather than another dribble into the big guys.
We also noticed on our section that the team looked much more effective against the zone. When Evan is in he needs to stop holding the ball and move it more

White needs to keep driving into the big guys and drawing fouls to make up for our fouls. He is fourth on the team in free throws made even though he is a distant 7th in minutes. Keep doing that and he'll make more of those difficult layups eventually.

BSG & Gorvy - the best outcome would be an unpredictable mix of both the drive into the bigs and pull for 10-15 footers...

Silas is 10x better than last year. How many block shots does he have? With that said..there is ALWAYS room to improve! LET'S GO SAINTS! That's racist. Are rob pooles shots white shots? Disclaimer: Jk before some goes nuts on me
