The starters were great but the bench was awful. Literally had 8 points. Just need to get more out of these guys.
I completely disagree on the bench. Al had 10 rebounds. Brisset outworked guys down low and had 5 rebounds. He also helped energize the team and criwd. Joe is also mixing the starters and bench players on the floor so there is always st least two All star caliber scorers. Sometimes it's not how many points the bench contributes but the quality of the minutes they provide.
It’s not hockey subs where thr 2nd unit is all bench guys…they just need to be great in their roles and support the all star level guys that they will be playing with. We’re not going to have first five, second five, it’s going to be combo 1, combo 2, combo 3 and our top 6 will be in all those combos, and thr bench guys will be there to support them, so we don’t need them to be superstars of the box score, we need them to be superstars in their roles. Like Brissett added a lot of energy and hustle, he chased loose balls, rebounded, boxed out, helped the guys he was playing with to shine. That’s what we need from our bench guys.
