Re Beskind, he plays hard, is smart., and is not quick enuf to stand up to Pac 12 guards. Also, he hasn't shown a reliable perimeter shot, and with McConnell or Silva at the point, that's not enuf perimeter offense.
Taitz can actually shoot, but he gets out of position on d, and shoots too much. Maybe it's changed this year, but last year, if he was on, he kept upping the ante and pretty soon took shots he shouldn't; and, if he was cold, he shot to prove he wasn't, and that did not work out well.
Agree Reynaud and Ingram are the best players on the team, with a happy DeLaire 3d. And, he IS NEEDED. Agree also, that it would be GREAT if Jones were able to shoot behind a screen or two. Has Haase ever had a set screen for a 3? If so, I missed it.
I disagree that Delaire is "clearly unhappy." He may be, but that's not clear to me - and I've been to all the games.
Just play the game, and things will sort out.
