[Da-news-now]

It's now up to Gard and his assistants. Guys need to step up. They need to coach them into wanting to do it, and making it happen. You only play well when you have the confidence to play well.

Pritzl, as an example, has all the tools to be a solid 6th man off the bench, and capable of providing fire power with 3s. He's already shown he can do it, now it's time to make it rain threes when he's in there. If he does, he can be a super star in his own right. He also stepped up his game on defense, and that's an added plus. The perfect guy to have as a back up for Trice and Davison. He can bring energy to the court.

As far as the big guys, as subs, they should have already started to show what they have, but are falling behind for some reason. It has to change, and it has to change now, or this season is going to go down the tubes from a lack of depth.

Now we have to see if Gard can coach them up, and get them to give all they really have.
