How good would we be if oscar knew how to utilize JO???

why are people acting like it's a mystifying point deuce is making?  just because he's a known weber sceptic?  jhr was a decent offensive player and a game changer on defense last year, and he's only played about a third of kstate's minutes this season.  it's odd.

I think this is probably the best explanation currently available, at least it made sense to me as to the current JO situation.

Its simple Belvis, Gip is better with his back to the basket which is advantageous to any 4 out 1 in offense. This isn't anyones fault, its a simple skillset match. JO was better in the pinch post because he was able to face up, just like I mentioned that he's been better offensively lately because the coaches have him rolling off of high screens. Last year Gip found himself with less minutes because when we went to the pinch post he was ineffective because he couldn't do anything catching the ball on the elbow, nor was he as effective with the lobs that the pinch post created. Again this was nobodies fault, it was a skillset mismatch.

Yeah, I really thought I would be in the majority on this one...apparently not.

No one has been a more vocal critic of oscar's big rotation and minute distribution than me, but the timing of the initial post was in response to the UT game which was silly. Today the big minutes were completely mangled. I still dont think he "doesn't know how to use JO." As quoted I have noticed that oscar is putting JO in more face up situations. I just think oscar sometimes has no feel for what's happening and he gets lost because he isn't doing a good job of shortening the bench.

The post was not about JO's playing time in the UT game, it was just another example of when JO was playing well and didn't get any minutes. I understand there are reasons for that, but I don't really agree with them. Again, this was not about the Texas game, I just happened to post it then because it was fresh in my mind. It's been a problem all season. To go where we all want to go, then oscar needs to figure out how to get JO more involved.
