Our defense is trash when he is on the floor. If he isn’t in position to block a shot, he is a liability. Granted, this is Kentucky but I have seen our defense out of sorts when he is on the floor in other games.Post players are an easy target. He hasn't been great, but for the role and minutes I think there are more frustrating players on this team.
Lol...It'll get better. The FT % is misleading too!I found it interesting on the broadcast the announcing team shared that they talked with Pedon and he said the numbers are misleading and we're a much better 3-point shooting team than the statistics say. I'm curious where that thought comes from.
I don't completely disagree. Analytically he actually comes out as a, very barely, positive defensive contribution. I don't think he is good. I just didn't have the expectation he would be. There are players we wanted, and needed, to contribute in a more meaningful way who are much more frustrating. Lieb only plays 12 minutes a game. It's not like he is out there for 25+ minutes ruining things.Our defense is trash when he is on the floor. If he isn’t in position to block a shot, he is a liability.

Our offense and defense looks the best when he isn’t on the floor.
I subscribe to the theory that even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.Soooo smart.
I think he just shoots them in a game!Maybe Lieb shoots 60% from 3 in practice.
Must have read the board at halfPoindexter’s year has been head-scratching. Looks like a deer in headlights tonight. Hopefully cranks it up in conference play.
I totally agree with you. I was just hoping at this point the coaching staff would stop playing Lieb because it is much better watching the team with him off the floor.I don't completely disagree.

I don’t think the resume dictates the playing time, or Davis would have had a lot more minutes. I think they see something in practice that isn’t translating to the games, but it is time for him to sit. I’d rather play smaller and see some other guys like Pence get his minutes.I totally agree with you.

And the reason he can’t play more is 12 minutes a game is because he fouls, has zero stamina, or he has to get pulled because he is a liability. If this guy didn’t have the U of I in his resume, he wouldn’t be getting any minutes.
Probably the minutes that Chase Walker should be playing. 12 minutes a game for a freshman building for the future would look much better than a glorified walk-on big man we had to pull from the portal.I don’t think the resume dictates the playing time, or Davis would have had a lot more minutes.

Currently 6-25 from deep too. Until they get guys that can knock them down at a higher clip consistently you’d hope coach wouldn’t be okay with this many 3s being put up.I found it interesting on the broadcast the announcing team shared that they talked with Pedon and he said the numbers are misleading and we're a much better 3-point shooting team than the statistics say.

Partly why I made my point. I don't know if it is typical coach-speak or he is consistently coaching guys to keep shooting threes. I hope it is the former. I fear it is the latter.Currently 6-25 from deep too. Until they get guys that can knock them down at a higher clip consistently you’d hope coach wouldn’t be okay with this many 3s being put up.
Kinziger.Kinzinger could be our Sheppard some day. Hopefully.
Not any more than he was . . . staggering, that is . . .Our plus/minus with Lieb on the floor has to be staggering.
-14 in 5 minutes played.Not any more than he was . . . staggering, that is . . .
