Defensive Rebounding and use of JoshO

[Rifler]

Josh did okay last night,.. when we need size he needs minutes.

Yup. He can be at least adequate for limited stretches. Probably 3 minutes max of game action at a time.

He has stamina challenges for sure and is spotty as far as looking comfortable/confident, but...He is at least some sort of rim presence. The lane is like a wind tunnel against our defense most of the time. He also is a big body for setting screens but needs to focus on defense, rebounding, picks and passing (Josh is actually a decent passer). He has potential to be adequate in the low post, but we are not there yet.

Absolutely,.. In games where we are mismatched in size he should be getting 10-12 minutes..

Josh did a commendable job last year against Purdue's bigs. He definitely should be playing against teams with size. Josh holds his ground on defense and has shown good footwork around the basket. Rabraca can't do anything about his size. He works hard and does his best, but he needs help from Josh. And doesn't Josh have asthma? It seems like I read that somewhere. Somebody on the board should be able to confirm or refute.

He has flashes of brilliance to his game but the cardio still seems to be holding him back. It was reported, and I don't know if it's accurate, that he has some ongoing health issues that are the issue. He definitely has some talent and seems like a likable kid but without better cardio, he ends up being more of a detriment when he's in there.

He was eatin good in the concessions at Carver last night during women's game
