If there is one player that can change the trajectory of this season, I believe it's Zion Griffin. He's got good size and athleticism, the four-star credentials, and last game, he started to show his ability to knock down the three-point shot--something that is desperately needed on this team. I really hope this is one of the lineup changes Prohm makes against OU. Start giving him significant minutes, and start feeding him the ball and building his confidence. Somebody on this team has to start stepping up on the offensive end, and I believe he is our best candidate.

I would agree, same for Lewis. Both had 4 stars and I believe top 150 credentials coming in. I like to see Zion create off the bounce more. Against TCU he tried a few times, got some paint touches, just didn’t finish. He needs to be more than the guy in the corner who shoots 3s.
Prohm is not going to change anything. Same starting lineup. Still going to double team the post while we watch alley oop dunks over our little guard who doesn't rotate. Still going to leave Zion and Lewis on the bench even though they have the size and athleticism to help. Still never going to run an out of bounds play with any intent to score. Players are still going to look unprepared for the opponent. Oh and zero in game adjustments.
Some are concerned with losing defense and rebounding by taking MJ out, but we are already terrible at both. Might as well give it a shot.
I'd rather see Jacobson rotating at the 5 spot. Get him back to playing like last year.
Get Jacobson back to where he was at last year, and getting any kind of production out of our benchwarmers Griffin and Lewis and I'd have to say we might win a few games down the stretch.
It speaks to where this roster is at that we're hoping Zion Griffin can change the trajectory of the season.
What would you like it to say since you are so smart? Obviously it caught your attention. Thanks for your participation.
'Can Zion Griffin change the trajectory of the season?'
That way, the audience knows precisely what the thread's about.
I'll jump in.
How about -- "Time for Zion to start against OK?"
You're welcome. I accept cash or check.
what we are actually missing he could actually fill the role. A driver that is going to “attack” the basket not shoot floaters or throw up a trick shot, someone who is consistently going at the basket forcing the defense to react and make plays off of it... the position MJ is eating all of the minutes for trying to be a spot up shooter.
To follow up on that.. we never seem to be attacking on offense or even attempting to.. it’s like we are being sneaky instead of just taking it.
