Dotson was the #2 ranked player in college basketball last year according to KenPom and Udoka was the #6. Zaga ain't beating that team, I'm afraid. [Reply]

Not that high I don't think, but he was a McD AA. Hasn't looked like one yet.
The way Self had been hyping him, I was expecting a near-dominant year from him. He almost looks like he's regressed.
I'm sure he'll contribute offensively and rebound decently, but his defense is terrible and he can't pass out of a double team. [Reply]
McCormick played some good ball last year. He struggled with position early last year, but came around. And he made some Deighton filthy plays that not many humans can do.
I haven’t watched much of either game. If he’s regressed that’s.... troublesome. [Reply]

So, David played more under control than he has ever, but he seemed to be overwhelmed with being the only big man on the court. He was terrible on the boards, and not only did he rebound at an unacceptable level, he did not secure a single out of area rebound.
He missed several layups because he was slow to elevate, and did not try to dunk a single ball in traffic. He missed layups that would have been easy dunks but Dok last year.
For me, while he did make a few nice shots against St. Joe's, overall he played like crap.

Admittedly I always payed attention to the offensive potential. Good touch, big body, quick twitch post moves. It was exciting. These were the days we had Doke to provide defense and length in the paint. Bur when hes your only big guy really I dont know. McCormack hasn't ever been this defensive force. Thats kinda what this team needs, a Doke. I think we can score. [Reply]
