Bench Today

[NorthCentralHawk]

18% of total points, 31% of rebounds, 19% of minutes.

Uhl, Baer, Wagner and Williams went 6/13 from the field for 13pts, added 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and no turnovers. 1/5 from 3pt range, 0/1 from free throw line.

Seemed to mostly provide good relief today when the starters needed a breather. Just need solid minutes from these guys - they didn't seem like an overall liability today.

Bench was pretty solid today. Uhl seemed to have some fire out there, other than getting stuffed by the rim.

Love Wagner. I really think he can be a special player for us.

Baer was his same scrappy self.

Williams. Why can we not see more of this guy. He is looking more and more confident out there. The shot he made was pretty. I really want to see more of him.

More Williams!!!

 

[Bulldogs1974]

More Williams and wagner. Period.

Williams did hit a nice jump shot in the first half and didn't come in the second half. Wagner had two good passes near the rim but hesitated (didn't want to make a mistake probably) and kick it out. At least he and Baer had a good fly by bank shot each. Good experience for the young guys.

Maybe but still think it unlikely the subs get a few more minutes as Nova I believe uses their bench more. Would like seeing Williams spell both MG and Sapp more next game.

Good energy from the bench. I wish Uhl could finish his drives, which look great until he misses the shot.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Agree with others on more Williams. Dude has no fear. Comes in and sticks a pull up jumper when we had stalled a bit offensively.

He did finish one and got fouled, however, he's only a 46% FT shooter, that's awful.

Those are better stats than the starters. Williams 1 for 1 was better than Gesell 0-8. Fran is so stubborn his lineup Gesell/Clemmons.

I think Uhl will become a very good player for us. Yeah, he is still a little rough around the edges especially shooting FTs. I hope he stays at the 5 position. He some nice quickness around the basket.

Love Wagner for D and rebounding and hustle. However, he doesn't seem to have any sort of offensive skills. One time he got a pass in transition about 5 ft from the basket and new even thought about trying to score. Is he just deferring to others, or is really without any O ability?

Actually, the announcers were wrong during the game. They got his FT and 3-Pt %s backwards. Dom is a good 3-pt shooter (46%), and a pretty bad (almost 60%) FT shooter. I am not sure that he shoots 46% on layups, after his very pretty drives to the basket.

Our bench has responded in this last game after not helping as much as we need them to. They had very good minutes for us. As aggressive as Wagner is I would like to see him get even more aggressive. To me he would be a difference maker if he did. I'm also hoping Baer will hit his first shot, then it gets interesting. More Williams as well would not hurt my feelings. Come on Hawks let's get it done.

The bench is even more critical as some starters have become non-contributors. Scoring-wise, anyway.

Woody getting some points always seems to be a real plus to this team, yet we don't seem to make a concerted effort to set him up.
