Because Irving had 3 assists, 3 steals, a couple boards and 0 TOs, with just as many points. Will does nothing for our offense. Angel at least stirs things up by making drives and making passes inside.
Of the 3, Angel is the key player for us and I think we all agree on that. He has got to stop the needless fouls. I love his mentality and aggressiveness which is part of that, but he's simply got to make better decisions.
There are plenty of Will critiques, but to say he "does nothing" on offense is inaccurate.
At the end of the day, I don't think anyone can complain about the minutes distributed at the 2 guard spots today. Angel played 25 minutes (only b/c of foul problems) with 9 points, 2 assists, 4 TOs, and 2 steals. It wasn't his greatest game and WVU's pressure bothered him at times, but I still wanted him on the floor down the stretch and he made some key plays. Will played 28 minutes, had 2 points, 4 assists, 1 TO, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals. Tay played 27, had 2 points, 3 assists, no TOs, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals. And its not an either or situation, all 3 are going to play. Angel playing more is mainly in his court; stay out of foul trouble. Tay is going to play when Angel is out at PG. The only debate is Tay stealing minutes at the 2 spot from Will, and oscar finally went that way for a stretch in the 2nd half today and the team played well. As for hitting shots, both Will and Tay need to be bigger threats and hit shots. There simply isn't going to be a situation where Tay gets all of Will's minutes, but he does need to produce or I'm sure oscar will be more willing to play Tay some there today and I'm fine with that.
And I really don't want Omari on the floor unless its an absolute emergency.
