Another ho hum game for Craig, 19 and 12 but I did notice a few things tonight. His defense was pretty bad tonight, letting Baylor drive to the hoop off of the pick and roles. That led to a number of easy baskets for them. Defense has been a big knock on him by scouts and it showed tonight.

I am not trying to nitpick and I love how we played tonight but I am just really trying to find reasons why he could stay next year :smile:. It could be very fun with him around one more year.
 
It is a good thing that he had a ho hum game tonight. NBA scouts in attendance hopefully feel he needs another year and he did enough to get us a W.
 
5 for 5 on dunks including a couple highlight reels.

2 for 11 on all his other shots. That's been CB's problem for his whole career. People think he's got a jump shot. Yes, he can get hot here and there, but he's still not a good shooter. His shooting has gotten better than last year though. His rebounding is 3X better.

I wouldn't say he gets hot once in awhile i would say he is good shooter that had an off night. He has shot well all year...

Eh, big men like him need to be shooting above 50% most of the time. He was only shooting 47% before this game. Brackins should really work on his post up moves, he could really get a lot easier shots closer to the basket, instead of those fade away's he always shoots.

Hes not really a big man he is a hybrid forward.
 
If Brackins had better shot selection, he would easily be shooting over 50%. He's an outstanding shooter while posting up. He has incredible touch from that range. He is a below average shooter from 16 feet and out.
 
The scouts didn't really see anything tonight. Baylor's defense was pathetic.

Don't worry about the defense. He was practicing for the NBA scouts in attendance. :biglaugh:
