Who would you rather have handling the ball in the last three minutes of a game.
Bienemy
Boum
Bieniemy is by far our best playmaker. Him 100%. Boum is the better shooter and is better suited off the ball.Who would you rather have handling the ball in the last three minutes of a game.

I would start Sjolund at the 3 to help 3pt scoring and interior defense. He can rebound just as well as Kennedy with equal minutes. I'm also putting in Onyema behind Tydus until he is ready to take over. I really don't see any reason not to play Onyema at this point. Bieniemy needs finishers so he can create off the dribble and drives.One of the issues that I see is the lack of a guy who can consistently get a good shot when the team needs a score. We've seen that Boum is much better as a catch and shoot guy, as opposed to a dribble drive finisher. I'm not sure I have ever seen Boum drive and dish. He gets in trouble when he tries to do too much.
The position that is really killing us is at the 3. We are getting very little offensive production at that spot. Kennedy has been, at best, extremely inconsistent. His three point shooting percentage is lousy. In essence, playing Verhoeven and Kennedy at the same time means opposing teams are playing 5 on 3 when defending. Agnew and Sjolund mask some of the deficiencies at the 3, but it isn't enough. Without another scoring option, we get Boum trying to do too much. There are clear coaching issues as well, but personnel wise, I question that 3 position moving forward.

I think you are wrong about Bieniemy. He and Sjolund have worked very well together on drives. JB has created many open shots for us, but we either miss them or have no trailers (except for Sjolund). Wish I new how to obtain video and show these plays.If I am on the court with them, neither, because I know there won't be a pass.
On Sjolund, I don't think he has enough lateral quickness to defend most 3's; against 4's, he gets over powered. On offense, he is almost entirely a spot up shooter. He really needs to develop some type of dribble drive game to become effective at this level.I would start Sjolund at the 3 to help 3pt scoring and interior defense.

Yeah each player has their pros and cons, but thats why as a coach you have to design a few options on offense and defense to excentuate the good and hide the bad. Create ways to utilize their skills. Mix and match to what you need and coach the players to execute.On Sjolund, I don't think he has enough lateral quickness to defend most 3's; against 4's, he gets over powered.

On Onyema, if Terry didn't play him a minute in the blowout in the first game against UNT, I think there is very little chance we get to see him this year. I guess Terry wants to reward Odigie for being one of the few guys who have stuck around. That said, I can't imagine that Terry envisions Odigie as any type of replacement for Williams.
Good take axing. I agree Terry is stubborn to a fault, no doubt. His coaching leaves a lot to be desired, and I think his staff is probably the weakest we have seen that I can remember. Coaching is a problem, but in my opinion, so is the personnel. I don't see an overwhelming talent advantage against other CUSA teams.Yeah each player has their pros and cons, but thats why as a coach you have to design a few options on offense and defense to excentuate the good and hide the bad.

Guess what Sjolund may not have lateral quickness to be a great defender at the 3, but what opponent has a 3 to guard him? He may not be that strong at the 4, but yet he seems to be our best rim defender so far. It just depends on how things go. Making adjustments is part of coaching and playing at this level.
Terry is very narrow minded and it shows. I dont trust that Terry is doing the team and Onyema any favors by not giving him a few minutes where we could really use his talent. I understand the best players should play, but Vuk has done zero in games to earn minutes and we all know that Efe is a total match up player only.
BTW when was the last time we ran a set play for an alley oop under Terry?
He's probably near the top of the team in points per minute played.Odigie — no idea what’s happened to him
