Selden

Thinking somebody needs to tell him that if you're 0-3 from 3, and 1-6 overall, maybe you should stop looking for outside shots, and try to get to the rim.

I've been a broken record on that score. It drives me nuts when he just parks out there, then loses energy when the shots don't fall. He becomes a liability at that point, not an asset, and if I were Self I'd sub in Svi EVERY TIME I saw that energy deflation and bad body language kicking in. Even if it's just for a couple minutes here and there to send the message to Wayne, I'd do it.

Agreed. Selden actually had "decent" energy for spurts today, despite the bad FG-shooting performance (1-6 overall, 0-3 from behind the arc). But overall, not a markedly good game.

The nice thing was Svi was a very able replacement. In 17 minutes, he hit both of his threes, grabbed 4 rebounds, and dished 3 assists. I like what they said about the footwork adjustment for Svi (for his shooting stance and thrust). It looks very good now. He's keeping his feet very squared to the bucket, he's going straight up off the jump (and coming down in a similar spot), and he's not turning his hips on the lift and shot. Very pretty technique with his hands as well. Hope he stays hot like this--heck of a weapon off the bench for the tourney!
