This exactly. This isn't brought up enough by Mick or his staff. Sure Jenifer is somewhat quick and moves well laterally but anyone at anytime can shoot over him. The same was true for Kevin Johnson in the past. As an offensive player you love seeing a shorter guy guard you because it's so much easier to get a shot/pass off without an issue.
Don't get me wrong, I love hard workers, smart kids, etc (Jenifer and KJ are both). But sometimes you're just limited by your genetics and it is what it is. |

quick guards also go around him with ease. you saw it 3 times vs osu. he makes the right switches, he fights through screens. he uses his strength vs less athletic guards. but better players light him up. |

Can't tell if you are agreeing or not. Just to clarify, I did not think he was great. Solid numbers but misses layups and gets block by the rim more than anyone. He does not seem to move well either. I just think he will struggle against bigger schools. I was big on Brooks as a freshman and even as a sophomore but he has not progressed like i thought. Think they would be better playing small most of the time. Especially with their switching defense

I agree, he does things right but it doesn't matter because he is 5'7 and has no effect on the game. The only thing he does that helps, is take a charge every once in a while, other than that, he is just a body

Again...he is good at the only way he can defend...but he has to be damn near perfect for not to get exposed |

Also, who are we going to play if we go small? Who has earned the minutes? Fredericks? Moore? |

Good point on your second point. I didn’t really think that small ball lineup out. Not many options. Can’t play Moore if he can’t make a shot. Which there is no proof he can |
