Better than expected start, especially being 2-0 in conference.
There are some definite problems that need fixing though. In our five non-punching bag games (Sam Houston, Ga Tech, Miss. St, Az and WSU) we have 61 less field goal attempts than our opponents, we are minus 23 on the off. boards and have 37 more turnovers.
BC and Gabe lead the team in TO's, many of which are unforced. Not sure how to clean that up but if Craig Smith and co. want to continue getting the big bucks they need to get that cleaned up.
As to our rotation, it's clear that at this point the coaches prefer Stefanovic over Exacte, Saunders and Holt and that Gavin Baxter and Luka Tarlac have fallen out of the rotation.
I'm not a big fan of Stefanovic as he's a poor shooter (36% from 2 and 31% from 3), takes a lot of shots (4th most on the team) and isn't a great defender. He does have an excellent A/T ration of 2.5/1 which is likely why he get the minutes he does at this point. Still, I don't think his ceiling is all that high and hope to see Exacte, Saunders and/or Holt cut into his minutes as they, hopefully, elevate their play.
