Unfortunately most of the guys have a level of inconsistency in their own style, but it really feels like you can at least of late count on the guards to bring it. Maybe the shots don’t fall but they’re going to still play well defensively and rebound etc, I say that to say at this point you’re looking for consistency as a coach, nothing more frustrating than what Nkamhoua, Uros & Aidoo are bringing to the table, Awaka you at least know he’s gonna rebound like his hair is on fire and that he will go up strong around the basket. Big picture meaning, if healthy, small ball with Nkamhoua and Awaka rotating at the 5 likely gives us our best chance of success imo. Mashack can be effective with scorers around him and playing a super small 4 spot in that lineup as he did against Missouri, he can hold his own against bigger guys and his quickness/athleticism on the other end can cause them some issues. The spacing is so much better when we are small and guys like Zeigler, Vescovi and Key are getting way better looks out of that lineup. It may not work, but imo it’s playing to our strengths and most likely path to success, again gotta get healthy though.
