I'm talking about the Tyler Kalinoski, Peyton Aldridge, Jack Gibbs, JAG, Luka, Foster Loyer, "Just give me the ball" type who can carry the team in crunch time. Grant is the closest thing we have this year, but his lack of a three-point threat makes him a little easier to defend when we absolutely have to have a basket.Dr. Bliss wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 3:40 pmInteresting. I saw five such players.DC69Wildcat wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 3:24 pmNobody out there in black acting like "I'm not letting us lose this game." I'm not sure we have that player this year.
I'm proud of Reid for stepping up and keeping us in the lead after shooting so poorly for the first 3/4 of the game. He was also tough on the glass with 3 of our 14 offensive rebounds.
Durkin, incidentally, had 4 steals, including the huge one on that inbounds pass in the last minute. And he had 5 rebounds. I gave him my Colt 45 vote after he hit 8 straight first half points. He reminds me of Peyton more and more each game.
