Hey guys just wanted to get some "banter" going here as I was having this conversation with some friends.
This is not meant to be a slight on Pop at all, just excited with how the Jays are playing.
Are they better off without Pop?
I think offensively they definitely miss his scoring ability plus having another ball handler would be nice. However Neal sliding over to 2 seems like a much more comfortable position for him.
Pop also had the tendency to take "questionable" shots and was not a very good passer, especially into the post.
I think its pretty obvious that defensively they are better without Pop because in the BE and teams like SDSU, having two undersized guards is not ideal. If you look at their line-up besides Ashworth, we are actually a pretty good sized team especially on defense.
I know it seems like I maybe answering my own question but Pop is a good player, we will always have that Kansas game, so you will always take as many good players as you can. Obviously being able to give Ashworth some sort of rest would be massive.
RDJ!!
