GUnit of the Game - Pepperdine - 01. 04. 20

[TacomaZAG]

Can I vote "None of the Above"..................

Seriously, where to start. Horrible defense, way too many TO's, continued awful FT's, at least 10 missed bunnies, 5+ missed WIDE open 3's. No intensity at all, just sleepwalking through the game.

On the plus side, we won!?!?

Go ZAGS

[Bulldog]

Without Tillie, we're in big trouble.

[GU69]

Give it to seemingly the only dude to show up tonight.

Tillie.

That's my vote and my reason too.

[Goshzagit]

But Petrusev’s defense...

He expects to be a lotto pick, yet someone must show and/or tell him Sabonis & Collins played tough, hard nosed defense as this level, and even they were beasted when they first got to League.

Think how tough Sabonis played, and his first team tried making him a spot up shooter.

Point is, Petrusev's defense and inability to finish through contact is a work in progress. Forcing shots or facing players his size or larger is also an issue.

Hes made a ton of strides between his Freshman and Sophomore seasons, yet could use additional time, development, strength, & refined decision making.

Hes been a bright spot yet he needs another year,

Without Tillie, we're in big trouble.

And to think, IF healthy he likely goes pro last yr.

Killian could be one of the last Zags to play all 4 yrs, Kispert too, yet it's no longer a goal/expectation of these players anymore...most are on the 2 yr and declare plan

Without Tillie, we're in big trouble.

Like 0-2 in WCC play trouble.................

Go ZAGS

[ProVeeZag]

Tillie with the GUnit. Shout out to Gilder who was productive at key times despite limited minutes.

17 team turnovers is disturbing though.

Thought this is worth a mention: anyone notice how seldom we have anyone in foul trouble this year? (despite all those charging foul calls tonight).

I thought the officiating crew had a very uneven performance (being charitable here).

[Mantua]

Tillie

Honorable mention - Gilder

[77Zag]

Tillie is the obvious choice -- but i went with Gilder, he was the spark when we needed it.

Go Zags - Beat the Tereros!

[kitzbuel]

Tillie, if nothing more than for the block.

[Zagger]

Tillie's my fav Zag .... so I took a bye on him and gave it to Gilder. Gilder had 11 pts and 4 steals. With Ryan at 0 pts for the game without Gilder ...... Pepperdine may have beat the Zags at home!

Unfortunately, the zag who had the best night was Jalen.
