State vs mizzou basketball GDT

Ive been saying for weeks Reed is a real liability. His metrics are on the bottom of the charts for every stat that measures the value you bring while in the game.

Horton (quit), Reed (0 foe 6 on wide open 3's last night, bad most of year), & Jones not SEC players. Playing any of them ahead of Moore earlier in the season may have cost a couple of victories. Don't understand the minutes that they are getting.

Then You don’t understand basketball.. we don’t have any better options ..
Shaq was getting basically the same minutes starting as he was off the bench

You cant play as hard as we do on def and expect guys to play 40 even 35 minutes night in night out
I have no clue why Hamilton / Russell / Murphy aren’t getting minutes now
Maybe they don’t put forth the effort during the week to earn them

And it’s not like those guys are difference makers , if so they would be in the game
Outside of that one dunk what has Russell done ? Hamilton isn’t ready and from my sources Murphy gives you zero reason during the week to get PT on game day

I do know a little about basketball. If you read my post #147 in this thread we share a few of the same questions and thoughts on these subjects. I appreciate your info on Murphy in practice, as this would explain lack of playing time. We have a very thin bench at guard with a lack of SEC level talent. Reed is in a terrible shooting slump. I was at the MO game and he was 0 for 6 on threes in mostly open looks. Go to all home games and recently when he and Jones have gone in when we have a lead, it diminishes. DJ is handling the ball better and looked good when he played the point against MO. If Moore /Davis get in foul trouble, this may be an option if Reed continues to struggle offensively. Finish Strong! Hail State!
