Marcus Lee with Zero min tonight?
- Thread starter will1976
- Start date
He has played several short spurts today/ First was when the very first platoon change happened. He allowed Ole Miss to get a rebound, IIRC, and he got yanked. Then he was put back in later in the first half, near the end, and helped to get a steal and then went out for someone with better offense.
Something must have happened because there's alot of things that have me head scratching tonight. Personnel wise. And Willie is acting strange. He did not even jump on the overtime jump ball
He had a particularly bad turnover - the kind that screams "my head really isn't in this." Didn't notice he only played a minute.....
Ha, what? Did you watch the game. Maybe Hawkins and Lee (who btw did play), but ole miss was killing us on screens and getting looks. Willis is a terrible defender..it would have been feast time for his guy
Considering how bad the cats rebounded I would have given him a shot, he is more mobile than Dakari thus would have been a better fit on defense as well.
I would rather lose every tip and get a defensive stop on the first position every time and have the arrow. Especially going into over time.
Yes, even the camera cut to Cal and he was bitching at the ref about it. You can see Cal in a heated discussion with him, then he does a hand gesture like tossing the ball.
Lee should have gotten some of Dakari's minutes. Would have helped on the boards and switching off on shooters on defense. Towns and Johnson were not closing out on shooters on the double screen action for there guards at the top of the key.
Hawkins should have played some as well (5-8 minutes). Ulis was getting abused by their guards and Booker was in foul trouble. Probably could have taken a combination of Lyles and Ulis minutes (late first half and early second) as both were not having good games offensively or defensively.
Neither should have been in at crunch time though.
JMO, Cal's the man..

I bet the other bigs have been doing awesome in practice or something. Nothing against Lee, tonight just wasn't his game (made a couple mistakes), but every player will have games like that. Lee will be fine and have big moments again this season.
"You make a substitution and get your new platoon in, and one or two of those guys aren't ready to play[/B]. All of a sudden you turn around and it's 18-12. All of a sudden, they look around and say, 'we can play with these guys,'" Cal said. "Two of the guys in the first half that went in with that substitution and that platoon and didn't play well, they weren't into the game, they had no energy, they had no fight, they were just playing."
There has been a few occasions in which Lee has brought energy and looked great in doing so. Still no playing time. One thing I never can figure out with cal. Marcus is a heck of a player
