Teague played limited minutes but could have had his way most anytime. He chose to distribute more tonight

I don’t want him to distribute I want him to dominate.

I don’t want him to distribute I want him to dominate. Against better competition where he stood out as having an edge in his match up and others were even in theirs I would agree. But in this environment it is probably fine to stress honing team play and also see what others can do.
We know he COULD dominate, it proves little in these games against match ups where he has a huge advantage. The issue is whether he EVER dominates against better competition, and simply whether he plays hard every game. In early games later this year against decent competition, that really should be a point of emphasis, and a much bigger priority. It is one of several things necessary to achieve more than people expect this year. Past history suggests that is a very big challenge.

That’s my point. I want him to show, even in a meaningless glorified scrimmage, in limited minutes, that he is THE MAN. He’s got to have that mentality and aura at all times this season. He’s got Mac POY talent, he just has to show it and prove it.

He’s got Mac POY talent, he just has to show it and prove it. 11 minutes of play, only +/- that was negative. I agree we should have seen more from him.
If you factor in his mental make up, that talent level may be less. He's still right now a pretty good player, just hasn't shown what we might have expected. And he is not a leader. He can be a leader by pushing himself and leading by example. Up to now we have not seen that. Not sure I expect that. But this is a season he can show he can play after college, I expect a better effort during the season.
Later when it's real, this season, his showing intensity and playing close to 100% would certainly be the single thing easiest to envision that could mean we are better than expected. On this trip I am more interested in seeing other things. For development purposes it was probably fine to see others get the PT.

I essentially agree with Cardfan but I will say it’s hard to get in the flow for a starter with 11 minutes play time

I was never a D1 level athlete but I was close there were guys who were much better than me that just never gave the effort to be great. I wanted to kill everyone when I ever stepped on the FB field.. Practice,Scrimmage, Gamenight whenever. We need players with that mentality plain and simple

Kid, what lineups worked well, any surprises in how a player was used or what we were doing as a team?

I think the biggest surprise in tonight’s game tipping off in a little over an hour is that I believe Coleman May play some at PG!
We’ll see mainly players that didn’t play last night!
We will be better than last season! More athletic and depth.
