No wonder Perkins plays with a chip. Yes, some of this is legit criticism, but far less so this year. Keep killing these guys.

Gonzaga: “There are times when they really rely on Rui Hachimura to take over the game. Someone who has a big physical player up front can take that away. You used to bring their bigs away from the basket and then drive ’em, but with Brandon Clarke in there this might be the best defensive team Mark Few has had. I’m not a fan of Josh Perkins, man. I don’t think you can win at a high level with him. He’s got guts, but he’s not a pure point guard. He’s prone to have a bad one at the wrong time. Late in the game, he wants to take over and he’s streaky. He can make four or five in a row, but he can turn it over twice and miss three in a row. Zach Norvell is another wild card. He might go oh-for-9 and then hit the game-winner. Clarke can be an inconsistent shooter too, but we can’t expose that in our league. They’re pretty good defensively because they’re big and physical up front, and they do a good job of funneling guys where they want them to go. The best thing about them is they can take their game away from the Kennel. They’re not one of those teams that only plays well at home.”
