Curious about Pemsl.

He’s several notches below Kriener who is several notches below Garza. I think multiple serious injuries have pretty much robbed him of his abilities. Kinda sad actually.

He hasn’t had too many positive minutes on the floor this year. He may be someone who looks for a fresh start somewhere else next year.
He looks like he is trying to do things his body won't let him do. If he is going to play, he needs to stop trying to score and concentrate on defense and blocking out.
Till should be getting minutes over him. I cringe anytime pemsl is in.
I don't want to pile on the kid, but I agree. He literally looks lost out there. Turnover waiting to happen.
Yah I have nothing against the kid and hope he succeeds but it doesn’t look like basketball is his thing after all the injuries. Till looks more active and is more athletic out there. Against Syracuse I thought he did a great job giving minutes and crashing the boards.
Very poor balance for whatever reason. Confusing to me because as a freshman I thought he had very good balance and footwork. Must be injuries and lack of playing. I hope he can find a roll because he looked very down on himself during his mistakes.
He's not good. Seems so out of balance and uncomfortable. Think having no ups, is catching up to him at this level. Should tranfer out.
What are you curious about? I think it’s pretty clear he’s given everything he’s got. Injuries have killed him. Not a Fran coaching problem. Or even Pemsl’s fault. It is what it is.
Feel badly for Cordell. Had a great freshman year and then, having already been through a lot, had more injuries and surgeries. Things are definitely not bouncing his way this season. Hope he can get back to some level of success.
Having played with a bad back when I was younger I can tell 1st hand that's hard to do and balance and flexibility are difficult when you play stiff. Your mind knows what to do but the body just doesn't cooperate
I get that physically he may just not be game ready yet or whatever, but he just doesn't and hasn't made good decisions. Two simple things: 1) When wide open under the basket go strong and stop the ball faking crap. 2) If the pass isn't there initially, it's not going to be there after staring at the guy for 2 seconds.
Clearly liked by his teammates and he was engaged on the bench getting guys pumped up, so credit him for being a team guy. Just not sure if Fran can play him more than 2 minute stretches before TV timeouts to give somebody a break.

The will is certainly there, but the body is broken. He didn't look anywhere near "himself" last night.
I feel bad for the kid because he would love to be able to meaningfully contribute.

As mentioned he is a great team mate and he clearly shows how supportive he is. You could see him giving Garzilla some encouragement during a timeout. He seems happy & upbeat.
I'll bet there will be at least 1 game this year where Garza will get in foul trouble and Pemsl will give us some solid minutes.
No he shouldn't transfer out. We're probably going to need him next year. As someone else pointed out, there are going to be games where people get into foul trouble.
Cordell will be fine and be an asset to this team this year. As others have said, great team mate. Seems to have his team mates back & supports them.
I can see him grad transferring out next year though. He may want to be more of a centerpiece at a mid-major. Something to said for that model.

Unless he gets healthy he's not even close to being a centerpiece at a mid major.
