Bolton is the only guy that WANTS the ball in crunch time.
Hines said - which I completely agree - is TH is a great Robin but can never be a Batman.
Conditt needs to play when Jacobsen isn't in. Jacobsen and Conditt get out of position on defense trying for blocks pretty frequently.
Not just on here - lots of folks were. They look damn good.
At some point we will need to stop blaming Prohm and start blaming his enabler.
TH is going to be a lottery pick because of what he did last year and what he did with USA basketball. Being highly effective without being ball dominant.
That’s what you get from 3 star recruits. They are usually rated that way for a reason. Rarely can you get 4-5 performance consistent on a 3 star player. That’s just on coaching. These kids are doing enough for their talent level and I’m not trying to look down on the boys.
But TH was a totally different player with the USA U19 team - much more active defensively for one. He's a shell of that now.
Never is a long time, it's not in his game now but I think he's got the smarts and athleticism to do it some day
At least they should now be out of consideration for the CIT or whatever it is. That will save some embarrassment
Ok... but what do you want Pollard to do? Fire Prohm tonight? Did you want Prohm fired after last season? Before this season?

I'm just saying that this should be JPs wake-up call.
When Rulzzz is confident in the collapse, we've got a bad team thing going.
the extension last year is the problem
Actually correct. The more the NBA doesn’t know about you the more they just lean on the unknown upside. That’s why unless they have insane sophomore seasons, players that come back to college for a second year usually drop in the draft. Easy example is Harrison Barnes.
Barnes was a lottery pick - drafted 7th by Golden State. You're saying he would have been drafted higher than that a year earlier?
I actually thought Prohm made some nice adjustments:
1) benched nixon and barely played him
2) benched conditt for the whole game- deservedly.
I'm actually worried Conditt might have NIKE permanently branded on his forehead after those two dunks. In 3 minutes the guy got dunked on twice, missed a layup, botched a rebound, and fouled a guy with his hand at his waist. He might be the softest chicago kid I've ever seen in my life. this nba talk with him is hysterical.
Lewis would've been perfect in that game, oh well.
