Boswell is allergic to getting to the Free Throw line. He dared to enter the arc a couple times tonight. I can't understand why Tommy allows him to play PG for this team. I don't care if Bradley isn't "better" per se, but he plays harder and I believe Boswell is best served as a spot shooting 3pt taker. I don't think I can stand him dribbling the air out of the ball anymore with no results.

He has underperformed this season, no question.

Tonight, however, Boswell put in plenty of effort. He penetrated the lane, dished the ball out to open shooters when we was double teamed and came down with multiple contested rebounds (over significantly taller opponents).

Hopefully we see more consistency out of his jumper as the conference season progresses.

If we are talking from a standpoint that it can't get worse then I will agree, but I fear it can and will get worse. Tommy's stubbornness is looking like the downfall again. Go ahead, pray I am wrong. It will result in my satisfaction --- Which I know some don't want me to have, but this is how I have positioned myself on the stance of Boswell and Tommy as of now. They can change my mind, but I am not giving that for free while there's a guy named Bradley who plays with a chip on his shoulder doing whatever he can when given the chance to be out there.

Another rough one for Boswell.

Tommy is about to make the official change. I feel it coming. He will be excellent off the bench for 15 minutes per game in relief minutes.

Bradley has out-toughed Boswell. Bradley plays stronger and more tenacious Defense. Bradley mixes it up on offense and creates for his teammates. It is night and day when it comes to the energy out there.

You can look at the box score all you want and say it was Equal-ish for Bradley and Boswell, but I guarantee with just the eye-test, everyone else on the court feasted much more with Bradley on the court than with Boswell.

Boswell looks like a kid who might not even be a standout at Santa Clara with Adama-ALPHA Bal.

Interestingly enough - Everything ultra positive that happened vs Stanford happened when Boswell was not on the floor. A couple made shots and 1 pass doesn't negate the poor play that led to Stanford getting out to a great start and applying insane pressure to us.

Had we not been at Home, I think this would have been a 20pt+ loss.

Its time for Bradley to start

KansasCityCats

If Arizona makes a change to the start line lineup, it should be Love at the point and Lewis at SG.

Bradley made some nice defensive plays but wasn't the superior option at PG. Boswell poked balls away and didn't get credit for steals. He leapt for rebounds that would have given Stanford even more opportunities for put-backs. Bradley did well but he wasn't on the same page as his teammates on offense.

The good news is that we still have multiple players in the backcourt that play hard. That will pay off as the conference season progresses.

Adama-Alpha Bal put up a disturbingly Beta performance in an embarrassing double digit home defeat to lowly San Diego. Fortunately, there's still plenty of games left to elevate his stock and cement his place as a Lottery pick.

Not sure when you nor anyone will ever come to the realization that Tommy has Zero PGs on his roster. Once you all figure this out, you will start to understand that there won't be any Mike Bibby's and we are going to have to do it in a different way. As far as Bradley goes, what you say is going to happen when you are fighting and scrapping for minutes being blocked by a slug who has no interest in the game named Kylan Boswell. The kid has mentally checked out and plays at 1 speed, Kylan Speed. It is not what you want from a PG nor any G. Bradley's energy uplifted everyone around him. Doesn't matter what kind of sync you want. Boswell's time in Tucson is coming to an end if he is threatening Tommy to leave if he doesn't start. Come to grips with it. Boswell did this to himself.

That's ok. NBA Scouts don't care about how a player like Adama-ALPHA Bal plays against San Diego. They care about his NBA ready Jumper and length much more. Contrary to Boswell who has a nice soft 3pt shot, but is way too short to make any impact at the professional level. He has no game inside the arc AKA he is not Chris Paul. He will get his shot blocked/closed out on by just about any common NBA guard in this era.

KansasCityCats

You don't need a true point guard on the roster if four guys on the court could break a press. We have capable ball handlers and multiple wings that can dish assists at a higher rate than multiple D-1 PG's. Arizona shares the ball.
