I'm on the whole who cares if cane has some turnovers. Like hake said bowman had 6 in a big game, Cronin rips guys out after 1. Would he ever had that kind of game if he played for mick. I'll take 30 pts and 9 assists and 6 turnover any day. Cane can straight up play, simple as that. JJ is a good back up point, but other than being overly careful with the ball to the point it makes the offense stagnant sometimes there is nothing he does better than broome. Broome needs to be getting close to 30 minutes IMO, would say even more but hard when you're deep at guard, big games I could see using him for 35, him and Evans really should both be on the court for a majority of the game.

Evans is turning the ball over 1.5x more than last year. Cumberland’s TO rate also increased. Jenifer cut his TO rate by 33%. We need the rest of the team to protect the ball so we are less affected if cane has a sloppy TO game |

Because we knew he turned it over at sacred heart means nothing to me. He also played many minutes at sacred heart as the off guard. A role he looks very comfortable at. Using him at both spots is not a bad thing. Especially considering Moore And Williams have struggled. With Cumberland not quite there yet having him play some wing is not a bad thing. JJ has turned the ball over 6 times while Cane has 22 turn overs in 2 more minutes of playing time.. like you I want him pushing the pace and directing the offense but he has to take better care of the ball. Hopefully he will develop into that kind of player.

With Cumberland struggling, as you mention, we now have 2 starters not helping us a whole lot. But neither one gets pulled from the lineup like Broome did. Why? |

A pg's job in our offense is to bring the ball up the court and get us into our half court set. Jenifer is better at protecting the ball should they press and is a better passer and sees the floor better. That's what Mick expects of him. When Cane comes in and his first pass is lazy, what is he showing coach? Again, I'm playing devils advocate here cause I'm tired of constantly reading how great we think Broome is and how garbage we think Jenifer is. Broome is a great individual scorer, no question, but Mick wants five guys working together. Mick wants the ball to go inside to Gary and Kyle and they either score in the paint or kick out to an open shooter or reset the offense. We don't have to like it or agree with it and I too can get frustrated with his offense, but that's what it is and will always be. When he says we'll go at a quicker pace, that just means get into the sets quicker and not dribble so much, not a run and gun offense. Mick wants a half court game so we can actually play defense because that's where our advantage comes. And I think he likes Broome to be instant offense off the bench when we are struggling and need to abandon the game plan. Vs. Mississippi State we had a comfortable lead and didn't need Broome. When he did get in, his first pass almost got picked off. They had two good bigs down low, Broome wasn't going to get to the rim vs. those guys, so what was he bringing to the table? Vs. Florida we jumped out to a 10-4 lead and he subbed out Jenifer for Broome and the lead was quickly lost. Now I'm not suggesting Broome is the reason we lost, but facts are facts. Mick wants to run the offense through Gary, Evans and Kyle. He wants them scoring. With those guys all capable of scoring, we don't need Broome to score. Simply put, I think Mick sees a bigger picture than us fans on the board see and understands how five players work together. I think he feels Jenifer works better with the rest of the starters than Broome and likes Broome as a scoring option later of and when needed. When Brooks and Scott get on the floor, you need more perimeter offense, thus Broome. Now with all that said, I too feel Broome needs to get up to speed cause he's clearly a better scorer and if he can learn to work within the offense and cut down the careless passes and over penetrating at times then he makes the team better than Jenifer does. For us to win in March, a guy like Broome is essential unless we really become a wrecking crew inside and I don't see that happening. |
