He was really getting comfortable and confident enough to make an impact. I think as his shooting improves he could become a really good player for BYU.
He's got a different skill set. I don't think he's nearly as skilled on the low block post as Trent. On the other hand, he's already shown a jump-shot - something Trent needs to develop.

I agree - he will end up being a very good player.

The low block doesn't exist for Plaisted. He catches the ball 18 feet away from the basket because he's such a pussy that he can't maintain position.

Other observations:

(1) Cummard needs to shoot until his 56% FG percentage drops to 45%, and his 3-point percentage drops from 45% to 35%.

(2) Collinsworth should only shoot if it's within 15 feet of the basket.

This is only true when teams are pressuring the ball, ala UNLV. When the post feed is coming from 25+ feet, Trent HAS to be 12+ feet out to receive the feed.

Trent got pushed off the block too often last night too. I can't put much blame on him, when A&M is running 3-4 different guys roughly his size at him all night long.

Cummard shot too many running jump-shots from 18 feet last night. He should have driven in for 12-foot jumpers. He definitely should shoot more.

Collinsworth has been fairly reliable from distance recently. He hit big 3's vs. SDSU & TCU.

He is a perimeter player. If he stuck around I would start him at the 3 with Tavernari at the 4. If the opposing 4 is athletic and good have Collinsworth guard him. If the opposing 4 is stationary then have Tavernari guard him. If the 3 is just a spot up shooter put Tav on him, if the 3 is athletic guard him with Collinsworth.

Nope.

I find it rather humorous when the only argument one can make is "you're the player we're arguing about" or "you're the player's dad".


Fact: Trent was playing well defensively & on the boards last night while he was in in the first half.

Fact: we were badly outrebounded while playing the zone D in the second half last night.

Fact: It's common for zone defenses to give up a lot of offensive boards.

Hartstock was the Oklahoma POY in hoops. Every other above name mentioned either started or significantly contributed as a true freshman.
I never heard of Hartsock, turns out the Tulsa World had him first team "All Metro", not POY for the state.

Thanks, but that was a patently absured, not creditable statement all along.
