I think a lineup of Pritchard/Richardson/Amin/King/Bol would be killer in certain situations.

will richardson’s +\- has to be one of the teams best so far early in the season. he’s sneaky quick on defense and stays in front of ball handlers and cutters without fouling

I also think the O flows allot better with him with the ball than it has so far with Prichard.
Merganizer explained it pretty well. I don't think a comparison in style to Benson is a slight nor is it a preference for Benson. I wholly concede that Richardson comes in with a higher pedigree and a higher ceiling. I just think he reminds me of Benson in ball-handling, decision-making, and shooting. Neither are supreme athletes, even though Richardson is the better athlete.

I’m hoping that the loss to Iowa was just due to awful shooting. We looked much better against Syracuse.

I also think we didn’t play Bol enough minutes against Iowa and run the offense through him as much as we should have.

Bol was hurt against Iowa.

The Iowa loss was due to bad intensity on defense to start the game and bad ball movement on offense.

I've noticed that Okoro isn't being played much -- 6 minutes vs. Iowa and just 4 vs. Syracuse. I'm a little surprised, as I thought he was playing well enough to warrant more PT than that. Looks like Altman might be settling on a rotation of 8, at least until King is playing.

I think some of that was due to matchups. Against teams that run more man-to-man defenses, Okoro is much more valuable as a low post guy.

Missed layups, lost most 50-50 balls, and not being able to shoot is gonna hurt you. We had so many near turnovers on defense, it just was one of those games.
