He had some bad turnovers, but 8 assists and 3 steals. However, this team can't afford for Will to shoot 6 threes and not make one.
At the end of the day, no one could guard Cherry and Jefferson made plays. To give up 1.44 ppp in the 2nd half with so much on the line was very disappointing and most Big 12 teams would have beat us with that defense.
I don't care about the turnovers, as you mentioned he moved the ball well, but they were able to pretty much play a matchup zone because we had no one who could get the ball to the middle of the floor, not enough size to finish at the rim on the rare occasion we did find the middle, and no one to make them pay deep when we skipped the ball or reversed the court. Mitch and Reid lamented about why Marcus waited so long to shoot from deep, it was because within the framework of the offense those were terrible shots but when he had to force them it was the best thing we had.
Jefferson is an absolute nightmare for us, Shane, Nino, nor Wes can handle him. The only aay to slow him down is to play DJamer and Gip together but they would both foul out in like 6 minutes. When Austin isn't asserting himself and floating around the arc you can match up our misplaced 3s on him but he was around the rim quite a bit today too. When they do that they are trouble for everyone in the conference because only KU can match their size. When they play, which is rare I think Jefferson/Gathers/Austin are a better trio than Black/Ellis/Embiid.
