re: 2022-23 Auburn basketball season thread- 21-13 (10-9) Season over

Gonna love having this depth at the guard spots. If someone isn't performing we can now yank them. Can also go with more 3 guard looks.

Can anyone hit a 3 pointer?

I tuned in to see the new guys, but that was hard to watch. I was cheering for those poor kids on every 3 attempt.

Johni Broome 17 points, 10 rebounds

Chance Westry 13 points, 3 assists, block, 3 steals

Dylan Cardwell 12 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks

K.D. Johnson 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals, 5 assists

Yohan Traore 20 points, 8 rebounds

Allen Flanigan 10 points, 5 rebounds

Wendell Green Jr. 8 points, 5 assists, 2 steals

Jaylin Williams 9 points, 5 rebounds

Tre Donaldson 2 points, 4 assists

Chris Moore 4 points

Zep Jasper 7 points

I think about 8 or 9, somewhere in that range. At the half I believe they were 4-9 on threes. It very much looked like Bruce didn’t want them chunking up a bunch and wanted them to drive it, which makes sense considering the new ball and the opposition.

I was impressed with the drive/dive to the basket by the bigs without setting the high screen. Ball rotation and sharing was much better then the later part of last season.

Was no need for a lot of 3 balls today literally we probably had 8 inches on each of their inside guys. KD was taller then 3 or 4 of their guards.

Defense was also very good but he U20 team ran some good offensive sets we were just a lot more talented. We did a little to much letting a guy go by to the bigs and/or just grabbing them. In the SEC we don't get away with either.

Johni looked good in his first game. And even tho he was the leading scorer his shot blocking coming in I expected him to look more explosive. He's gonna be a solid defender and rebounder but I don't expect him to be our leading scorer unless he just gets a lot of offensive rebounds and put backs. Dylan looks like the better big to me. Yohan and JWill are going to be a heck of a punch from the 4. Still want to see what Yohan can do with a true bigger defender on him but he looks quick and hustles. And Westry dude is straight baller looked like a 1st rounder, and looked like the best player on the court. Guards played really fast and made some good passes. Plus shot it very solid.

Yes but we shot less. Ball movement made for better shots. Westry was really good at passing up a good look for a great look
