hope ab i s aok NEED him to sky and go to the hoop yup TO THE HOOP Lic - just a thought: unless you have something meaningful to say or of value to add to a particular thread, really no need to post the same thing at the end of every thread on the first page one after another in a 5 minute stretch. Like you, my posts also often add very little value to the discussions, but I that is why I try to limit them (450 in 17 years). I just think he needs to update his dragon software from version 1.0

Stats vs Villanova
17 mins, 10pts, 3/6 FG's, 4/6 FT's, 3 Rebs, 1 Asst, 2 Stls, 1 Blk, 4 TO's
Aaron Bowen was 1 of 2 Hoyas to reach double digit scoring (LJ Peak 15pts).
The turnover issues during game seems to be an outlier as Bowen avg's. 1 t.o. per game.

Agreed, why is he even getting time is beyond me. Freshman mistakes sends the wrong message to real freshman when he is continually rewarded with playing time.

He's had some very good, indeed I would say "essential to the win," games this year. No doubt he does a lot of bad things too. I think you have to give him a few minutes to see if the matchup is right or if he can perform in a given game offensively. He also has his advantages defensively. Again, he has his problems there too (dumb fouls, etc.), but he's quick enough to guard a shorter player and take away easy threes, at times. Coach just needs to be flexible.

Turnovers yesterday are what they are with Aaron. What I liked yesterday was his sense of urgency and lack of quit through the whole second half.
I also think his quick first step and driving ability should be considered in some of those kinds of games where the offense has been bogging down. When zones or pack the line defenses start to make our offense look stagnant (or when the zebras are callling touch fouls on drives but not grabbing at our cutters off the ball), I think Aaron's drives are essential. He isn't going to draw the lock down defender that DSR will and he has the height and hops to jump over and finish creatively around good shot blockers.
His weaknesses on d are the same for most of his substitutes--losing track of shooters and over helping so he doesn't hurt us more ton that side of the ball than white or cope (or please never again, Cameron).

Every guy on our team has flaws, many of them glaring. We need contributions almost across the board to play well, and just have to hope that the weaknesses are minimized. This includes AB. We need his defense and energy to beat top teams. Just don't try to do too much, that's where the turnovers come.

One thing about Aaron that sticks out for me is how bad he is from the FT line. He's slightly better than last year at 56%. For a penetrating 5-yr player, that's bad. His shot is different each time. Put in the after-hour practice with a coach (if we have one for that) or with DSR. Forget about the 3-pt practice. At this point, that is what it is. He's getting to the FT line more and more, and we need him to produce from there, not be a turnover or 50% FT shooter.

He's getting to the FT line more and more, and we need him to produce from there, not be a turnover or 50% FT shooter. He still doesn't have a consistent shot. His mechanics are not great, too many variables in his shot so he has to concentrate that much harder for his shot to hit the target than someone with great mechanics. His FTs are flat, not enough rotation or arc. When he misses his misses are bad from 3pt range so it's almost better that he just stick to close range where he is very good at attacking the basket. His shot inside the paint is really good but that's about it. Really if he had about 4 more inches and could play power forward he would be a monster with his skill set.

bowens assets are pressuring defensively and getting to the basket on the break. III has to direct this team to do more of both. that can't be done with smith and hop on the floor.

Smith and Hopkins are only on the floor together for 3-4 minutes a game now, so that's not really the problem. When we have tried to press, we have gotten in foul trouble because of silly fouls and sketchy defensive balance and technique. Still time to improve, but not much.

I want Bowen to keep getting time. I want Cameron to keep getting time. I want Hayes to get a few minutes here and there. If anything, the Hoyas need to expand rather than contract their rotation as the season moves along.

If anything, the Hoyas need to expand rather than contract their rotation as the season moves along. An interesting issue. If the freshmen were giving us consistent contributions, no real need to expand the bench; however with so much uncertainty from game to game from almost every guy on the team, do you just give the rookies more time in hopes of having everything click at some point, or do you spread the minutes in the hope that you can improve the odds of finding one or two guys off the bench who put it together for that game.

Even if one believes that the highest level this team can obtain this year comes on the backs of further development from the freshmen (and that is certainly reasonable), I think all of them are getting significant enough minutes to foster that development. (Tre gets the least at 13 mpg.) So, to me, you have to mix and match each game to find the combinations that work the best in a given game.
