Ado Haters...
We lose that game by double digits without him.
-
Having no post game is what kept them in it. Gafflord had 17 and 5. Ado did have 8 and 9 but was 2/9 from the FT line. Our lack of a post game is keeping this team from being really good.
Ado has to be good defensively because there is no reason to play him if he wasnt

Nah, 2-19 from 3 with 3 minutes left in the game is what kept them in it.

Never the less, without him we lose this game. He is very solid defensively

because teams can extend their D due to us having zero post game.

Good thing he plays good, active defense.

Ado definitely has his lapses, but he is showing more every time out on defense. He is so active at the top, only issue is he sometimes loses his man after a hard hedge. I really really like his potential.

He is a raw Freshman. He will break records here if he stays

I agree on him long term- just talking about this season specifically. His offense is a project- but he can certainly play D. The problem with him being a project on offense is that he plays with Holman who plays like he is 6'4 instead of 6'11

Doesn't matter who our coach is. You always find something wrong with our Team. 13-1 looks 17ing good to Me. But you loved Ray and wanted Him to have another year. Go figure

We bricked a lot of good looks. Not every 3 we took was in a half court offense. We missed 3s in transition and off of offensive rebounds.
Agree that Ado needs to continue to develop post game and I think he will. If he was a finished product, he'd be a one and done.

I will trade points for what Ado does all day.. which is the way he can defend the high pick and roll. Kid is athletic enough to guard away and help away from the basket.
His offense will come around , but he is a huge factor on the defensive side of the ball.
There are very few teams that play thru and run their offense thru their big men in today’s game.

Are we still the youngest team in the country only having one senior.

Have you even watched Holman this year? He won us 3-4 games with his play. All we need Ado to do is play defense, rebound and make 50% of his free throws.

You nailed it. I hope he can improve his free throws.

This. He's also the best shot blocker we've had in a long time. Averaging 2 and a half a game

Loved Richard Williams and this team looks like a typical Richard Williams team. Plays tough D and gets after you. Hopes to get enough O to win. Gotta love it.

Probably up there. That one senior is a walk on who hardly plays as well.

We’re not a half court team. We’re a defensive team that pushes the ball. Ado is exactly what we need. Our supporting cast has to rebound better and we’ve got to love the ball better in the half court set.
