Kohl Ghost of Westbrook MIA...

Westy was a controversial difference maker for Minny and many Holers had some harsh criticism of his years with Tubby.

Unfortunately, the GGs missed at least two aspects of his game vs Wisky:

1 - An aggressive and reliable 3-pt threat capable of creating his own shot in the last 5-min stretch;

2 - Money free throws (generally 100%) in clutch time.

If someone doesn't fill this obvious void, the team will have a difficult time closing out upper-tier BT battles.

Devoe was trying, but shots just weren't falling (and it looked like he got fouled bad on one). He had a rough game shooting, but he was aggressive, made good passes, got to the hoop, and made his FT's. A little less jump shooting and more driving and he is fine. He wanted to put this game on his back, and may have done a little too much at times, but he will learn the role. First big 10 game, first "real" game for Devoe. He will start feeling better (get healthy) and his shot will start to fall. No doubt in my mind.

Did you just call Westbrook reliable? If you mean one good game in five then yes

+1 Rosemountain...incredible how the memories(bad ones) fade with time for some people.
