Zollins: Every time he steps on the court.
Wemby:
- Overzealous in getting steal and committing cheap foul and get into foul trouble. This is especially after he missed a shot and try to reach in for steal instead of running back.
- Trying to show off his dribbling skills into a crowd and made a TO.
Vassell:
- Him missing 2 FTs in 1 trip to the line is really deflating.
- Clanging all his mid-range shots.
Sochan:
- Every time he show his ugly ass slow motion 3 point shots.
KJ:
- Every time he clanged his jumpers.
- Every time he does some unnecessary double team and cause late rotation that resulted in open 3s.
Champagnie:
- Every time he fumbles the ball and caused a TO.
Tre Jones:
- Every time he tried a 3 point shot with his slow motion form.
Zollins:
- Every time he tried to guard someone and getting feasted. He is the smallest 7 footer ever.

Not gonna specifically name players but the general inability of this team to handle any full court pressure and how terrible they are at inbounding. Also how often they get demolished on the glass is maddening
Overall, allowing so many 2nd chance opportunities is the most frustrating.
Even if you become a good team despite not doing this, this will eventually cost you a championship. Like it did the spurs in 2013.
not boxing out at all
helping on drivers to leave 3-point shooter open
both of these things are due to coaching. I wonder what Pop has taught these guys, if they can't do basic basketball things."Look at the penguins"
I really like Sochan, but the few times he passed the ball backwards to the PG who hadn't crossed mid-court yet.
gotta be helping down on defense and leaving your man for an open 3 when you have wemby in the paint.
That's awfully generous. This team sags down and leaves their man for an open three and they rarely are close enough to the ball to call it defense. They've done this for several years. I thought it was Pop secretly tanking for Wemby but they haven't shown any sign of reversing that habit.
I'm a Baylor guy and I love Jeremy, but it's pretty clear he went the entire offseason without working on his shooting form. The only player who showed any improvement in his game is Julian.
And Champ's reward for that was getting benched, and he hasn't been nearly the same since.
Yep. I want Julian starting (see my other thread) and not being anywhere near the ball in the backcourt.![]()
It can't be overstated how valuable 3-D wings are in today's league.
Even subpar ones like Champ who's not even a 3-D wing, but a solid shooter who's not a negative on defense.
8-3 when Champagnie plays 32+ minutes.
7-10 when he plays 26-31 minutes.
5-11 when he plays less than 25 minutes.
4-11 when Devin plays 32+ minutes.
Last year, he was an NBA body with a decent stroke and otherwise didn't look like a basketball player.
This year, he's a solid NBA shooter who punishes defenders for poor closeouts, he plays really solid defense (physically and mentally) and his handles are improved.
Players who have been in the league for years and have absolutely no idea on how to and/or when to rotate defensively. Victor is in his second year and the only players we have better at it than him are Paul and Barnes who you know...have been playing forever.
It blows my mind that a second year player like Victor can have a higher defensive IQ then guys like Collins, Devin, and Keldon who have two or even three times the amount of years in the league as Victor does. Just reeks of a larger fundamental issue with this team where their is absolutely no attention to detail and no accountability anywhere in the organization. And I place most of the blame for that on Pop.
