His obvious loyalty to Wusu is beyond ridiculous. Giving Dylan 38 minutes in an offensive shootout where he couldn’t hit anything is coaching malpractice.

Add in that our best player by far had to sit long stretches with foul trouble and he continued to bury Felton on the bench with only 11 minutes played.

Felton has shown the entire season he has a very good shot and offensive ability.

This loyalty to Wusu has fully reached unacceptable levels.

If Felton is fed up and leaves and we can’t afford Coleman where are we next year? Same crappy place we are now if not worse if that’s fathomable.

The big whiffs on Dual and Harmon are also killers.

Agree that Wusu is what he is. But to say Felton is the answer is not accurate. He can’t penetrate. He’s slow. He was embarrassed in the first half for a pick six layup when the team had a nice rhythm going. At this point he’s not a good defender. Should he have played more than 11 minutes, maybe but I don’t see him as a consistent 15-18 minutes player yet. He is a developing player. He can make a shot when open. There are two issues with this team personnel wise— 1. Dual and Harmon didn’t pan out and 2. our big men can’t score and don’t provide any rim protection.

Are you Shaheen? Your assessment is way off. Felton is better than Wusu and there’s no argument to challenge that.

Wrong.
You are looking at only 1 side of the ball.

I really like Felton and want him to get more PT and definitely think he is 1 of the top priorities for next season

 

[radecicco]

With all due respect, he can be in the future. But he’s not at this point. He is becoming a contributor. Just because you say something doesn’t make it so. I listed several points why Felton is not ready for consistent extended minutes. You counter with nothing except name calling.

My point as I stated was that we were in an offensive shootout tonight and Wusu was throwing up brick after brick.

Leaving him in and keeping a better offensive player on the bench is inexcusable.

Your mindset is stuck in 1988. If you really think Wusu is better than Felton I’m not going to waste my time typing out a rebuttal. Anybody that knows basketball can easily see it.

And I didn’t name call…

Anybody who knows basketball knows that Felton is slow on D, can’t create his own shot and is not a great ball handler. He’s getting better. But hey, I’m sure you have a great eye for talent and are a master hoops strategist.

You’re 100% wrong. 100%. Unreal

And again. How many times do I have to say that my entire point was that we were in an offensive shootout. Defense wasn’t making a difference today. We needed offense. And your golden boy Wusu built a village.

Is 3/15 from the field good?

 

[JTSHU]

Dylan can play and give u plenty like last season, just not a primary ball handler, play maker and the one to have the ball in his hands as the clock winds down

 

[PJVegas]

Maybe his NIL contract requires minutes played and that’s why he’s playing so many. Don’t want to breach that contract in this new era of amateur sports. 😵‍💫

No it is not. I’m not defending Wusu. I said he is what he is. But how did we get back into the game in the 2nd half— it was defense and the press. If Wusu has a strength it’s defense hustle and toughness. I don’t think Felton would have helped us in that area but that’s just my opinion. We had our best defensive team on the floor, we scored 80+ points and lost because PC was unconscious from 3.

Sounds like a quality 5th year Big East player 🙄

We gave up 41 points in the 1h and an even worse 50 in the 2h. I don’t know what the answer is on this team. Maybe it’s Felton. Maybe it’s not. But allowing Wusu to chuck like he’s Dawes of last year trying to break out of a slump ain’t it. Possibly worst thing that happened to Wusu (and SHU) was having the game of his life against DePaul. Dude makes a few shots and thinks he’s Steph Curry (1/8 from 3pt btw). Appalling.

If I'm being honest, I found a graduate student senior who shot 3-15 and 1-8 in 38 minutes more embarassing than a freshman guard making a mistake.

One player potentially has a future here; the other does not. Do the math on this season and exercise logic.

DAW - not a great ball handler. Can he create his own shot or just chucks shots up whenever the opportunity arises? In either event, he seems to miss them at an alarming rate. He's been playing for what, 5 or 6 seasons now? Felton has been playing for 3 months. The season is over, take the lumps and let the kid get minutes and learn through experience.

 

[lr591902]

We get it you don’t think Sha is a good coach

 

[radecicco]

Of course Felton is the future. I’m sure Holloway is trying to figure out how do I win a game today while developing guys for the future.

Felton can barely dribble. Literally he looks down at the ball like he’s scared he’s going to lose his handle. He’s no more of a point guard than Wusu is
