Oscar T from UK - BEAST!

[SBP]

Cliff can become that with better hands and inside game.

Let’s hope!

Cliff’s hands are not magically improving in year 4. And his touch is not improving leaps and bounds. He can make strides but he is largely who he is at this point

Let’s celebrate what Cliff is.

We are a much better defensive team than UK. The anchor of that D is Cliff as the shot blocker. Oscar T blocks shots, but he is nowhere near what Cliff is.

I don’t watch Oscar T on a day in day out basis, but I wouldn’t be surprised Cliff helps a team more than Oscar T

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Don’t see him hedging screens like Cliff does

Watch todays game? Vice grip hands

That is one part of the game. What type of impact does he make on the defensive end?

Myles Johnson for 2 years was our MVP and you can find so many things wrong with his game.

Please… 19 points 16 rebounds . Beast mode. Plenty of D

He is making zero presence in the lane defensively.

We have below average defenders at at least 2 of 5 positions yet we were a top 10 defensive team.

Do NOT underestimate how important Myles and Cliff have been to our team defense.

We will be a lot better next year if we abandon the constant cliff post up.

Let him get his points of rebounds and lobs.

Post him up if there’s a mismatch but open the offense with Derek Cam and Gavin

Cliff has a questionable inside game, save the dunks
Love the defense, the dunks, but that is where we are with him

I agree with this, unless Cliff uses the next 7 months to develop 2 or 3 effective moves in the paint, puts a little more air under his turnaround 5-footers, and learns to use the backboard more.

Away from the basket Cliff is a decent defender. His post defense is horrible.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

There are areas of his game that needs improvement.

There are so many things he does well. You can not teach his length and athleticism.

I highly doubt Oscar Ts differential in the game vs out of the game looks anything like Cliff.

When I saw this thread, why did I first think this guy was from the United Kingdom? I need to take a break from the board.

He should work with PM on his post moves !
