Yoeli was double-teamed, and couldn't handle it.
Bryant is selfish, and missed far too many shots. I much prefer him on the bench.
I think you are letting your impressions of Bryant in previous games overshadow what he actually did in the this game.
I see this game in 3 parts. First Bryant comes into the game for the first time in a month and a half. He is a out of control and takes 3 bad shots.
Then he settles down and finds some good shots around the basket. Next in the 2nd half he gets the ball and SMC's defenders are giving him a wide open 3. So he takes it. He makes two in a row. Then he misses the 3rd. I forget exactly when but I think his and one was just before this. The key was he was turning into enough of threat to keep the SMC D honest enough to give Mika a chance to work.
Then we have garbage time and he puts up some more bad shots.
IMO, for the first time for the majority of his minutes Bryant played a good game. He was inefficient in his shot-making just like the rest of our guards. I wish we could be going this process a month ago.

TJ Haws went 3- 10 from the field with 1 assist in 31 minutes. He finished with 7 points and no TO's.
Nick Emery went 3-8 with 2 assists in 32 minutes. He finished with 9 points and 2 TO's.
Bryant went 4-12 with 0 assists in 19 minutes. He finished with 11 points and 1 TO's. Note I clearly remember a play he hit Emery on a fastbreak that was a made layup and 1.
Oh I guess I should say I am very hopeful for Bryant to succeed because we don't have another player who can slash to the rim like him. Emery and Haws rely on flip shots. Bryant does it with power and athletic ability.Statistics: Posted by Qman — Sat Jan 07, 2017 9:18 am
