Jaden on the other hand.........yeesh.
Yeah it's bad. Jaden's been solid defensively lately but that may be a function of fresh legs from not playing much. He's a black hole offensively. Since everyone knows he doesn't shoot, they sag off him, which kills our spacing unless the other 4 guys out there are 3-point threats.

I'd be interested to see how much worse our offensive efficiency is the last couple months with lineups featuring Bradley and either Bediako or Pringle out there together.

At this point you just have to hope Jaden plays good defense, takes care of the ball, and picks his spots to drive to the basket.

We just need him to give us 8-10 minutes of disciplined time off the bench to spell JQ and not be a liability. He did a decent job of that against Maryland.

Re-watching our game at Houston, it's amazing seeing the regression of some of our key players over the course of the season and the improvement from others.

Bradley was just amazing with strong finishes at the rim. Griff was really contributing offensively and playing with a confident aggressiveness and Mark was knocking down all his shots.

Mark has me the least worried in regards to getting back to his pre-Miles self, but we really need more from Bradley and I'm not super confident we'll see much more from him the remainder of this season.

What has kept us elite is the fact that we now have March JQ, Chuck has developed into a true monster down low and Miller was able to round out his skillset and can now contribute even when he's not getting anything beyond the arc.

If we were to regain just a margin of the contributions we were getting from some of these guys from earlier in the season, I would never fear a loss ever again.

Ever since that big game at Auburn...Griffen has fallen off completely. So odd. He was big time for us because he’s 6’6 and can get clean looks on catch and shoot opportunities but his shot is way off now. It’s barely hitting a different part of the rim almost every shot.

I know no one wants to bring it up but with the era we’re in currently if Quinerly and Sears both return next year I’d be shocked if Bradley didn’t hit the portal. I don’t want to see that happen but I feel like it’s an inevitability if JQ comes back.
