Mashack still isn’t a great offensive player

[wmcovol]

But you can see he’s improving. He’s not scared to death anymore when he has the ball.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He’s gaining confidence, which would be huge for this team.

Dribble drive looks much improved.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

3 balls, dribble drive, ball handling, it’s like he’s a different player these last few weeks after getting those extra minutes during the injuries. Really nice to see.

Solid game tonight

Why can't you make the title something more positive? Like, Mashack is making offensive improvements, or something?

How about the offensive memoirs of Jahmai Mashack?

 

[LibertyVolance]

Even better, "Mashack has added prolific offensive skills to his already dynamic defensive repertoire." How does that sound?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

The thread title is fine.

I wish the rest of the team would play with the same offensive tenacity as consistently as Mashack does. If the first six did that, we would undoubtedly have at least 3 less losses imo. Mashack is going to be great if he continues finding his offense.

Too long

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If anything, Maschack emerging as a true offensive threat with the fact that he might be one of the best defenders in the country bodes well for next year.

 

[DuckInAPen]

He gave a great interview to Bob and Bert just now. He certainly sounded like the member of the Academic All-District Team that he is. He's a credit to the university.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Just no more pull up or fadeaway jumpers please everything going downhill

Title: Offensive Mashack.

That way everyone can read their own interpretation into it

 

[TartanTurff]

Team played a bit more up tempo after collecting the rebound, fits Mayshack's strengths a little better, the slow walking the ball up the court into a settled in defense didn't do anybody in a struggling offense any good, Marshack moved around very well tonight, actually went toward the goal on numerous occasions

Mashack hit two triples tonight and a pair of free throws.

Nobody on this team is a great scorer

No, it actually isn't fine. You saying its fine doesn't mean it is. Sorry.

With Mashack developing so well on both sides of the ball I think it’s safe to say, if all seniors leave, that 3/5 of our starters are potentially set. Maybe more than that. I think, with the current makeup of this team, that Zeigler-Mashack-(not sure, Phillips if he stays)-Awaka-Aidoo. Could argue there aren’t enough scorers in that 5, which is absolutely fair. I truly think Estrella could be an absolute game breaker for us next year too, so we could be really solid next season as well. I like all the players we have coming in next season. I still count Dillione with next years class too, but this half season with this team is very important for him. I also really love the players returning. Next years team will just be so much more athletic. May have growing pains early in the year, but I think next years team’s ceiling is so much higher.

 

[VOLtaism]

Wow, he is now my hope for the guy who can take it to the hoop and score or get fouled. Much needed on this team.

I said he was improving. You wanna replace Jerry West as the logo with him?

Damn, some of y’all need to get laid more often.

Mashack was spelled correctly. Which is nice.

 

[Namorto1]

He is certainly playing his best ball in his brief career. His willingness to attack the paint is appreciated. Defense has always been rock solid and he give just about anyone fits. The fact he is facilitating at point a bit is surprising. Nice to see as he works hard. Needs to learn to drive left however as he goes right almost exclusively.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Barnes stayed in his chair after his post game interview. Then he messed with Jamai while he was doing his segment. Tugged on his chin hair while JM was talking. JM didn’t miss a beat.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Mashack is still growing offensively in terms of overall skill, but he is playing with a lot of confidence and has clearly improved. He has the athleticism to get to the rim at will which is something that most of Tennessee’s backcourt is unable to do.

He is only going to get better as the game continues to slow down for him and as he learns to play more under control off the bounce.
