It's interesting that Phillips is getting more playing time than Terry.


If and when Phillips gains some weight, he could be a really good backup 4.

Vooch has always had some of his best games against Boston.

And that has what to do with my comment you quoted?


Just that you’ve tended to be down on him in prior posts (just like that one). Although I see a minute after I posted you complemented him.
I try to be fair. It's been a tale of two quarters with Vuc tonight, though he's being targeted on defense.

I’m usually a Vuc hater but he’s playing really well tonight. Seems locked in. Ayo has been awesome too, playing like Illini Ayo

Next year maybe there will be more minutes at the SF spot (depending how the off season goes)?

Ayo running point has been a turn-back-the-clock night for Vuc.

Ayo has turned into a legit starter the past month or so.

Don't know if we are going to pull this one off, but that was a great 2nd quarter

Watching for Ayo vs Jrue. Ayo looking nice so far. Feels like he's starting to understand he belongs on the court.

I'm hard on vooch but judging a big with nothing but shoot first primary ball handlers since he has been here might be unfair to him. Ayo might be unlocking something he is the best point guard on the roster.

It's not unfair.

He drops too many passes, blows too many bunnies, bricks too many open 3s, and his defense is really bad regardless of who his guards are.

He's playing great on offense tonight though, huge 2nd quarter for him.

Missing open three is something I can't excuse about him. He should do better.

Dropping passes...I can understand at times. Not being the best defender because he's not the quickest..okay.

I'd also add that his passing should be better. Isn't that one reason why AK went after him?
