Nah, he's not. His game is predicated on getting everyone on the floor involved. Look at Lonzo Ball this year for the Pelicans. He's playing outstanding ball without being a dominant scorer. When Tyrese's supporting cast is mostly non-B12 caliber (besides Bolton) it's a recipe for disaster. Think how he'd look if he was Kansas' pg, he'd average a double-double (not a triple double because KU bigs actually rebound). Nixon and Jacobson are 9/10th man at best on any sort of competent B12 roster, Grill looks absolutely terrified to even be on the court and the one player who can shoot reasonably well and make nice cuts to the basket is riding the pine for whatever reason.
Agree completely. Question, did Prohm get asked why he refused to play Lewis? Surely a reporter asked this right??
We need shooters. So many open shots missed this year it hurts. Reminds me of Alabama basketball the last decade.
This coaching staff dearly needs a shooting specialist.

I agree with this....but can we stop using 'B12-caliber' like it's something different than any other Power 6?
This is a roster that looks more like ISU usually looks in football compared to even average teams. Couple of good players here and there but as a whole just looks much less.
It's too bad that Grill hasn't gained any steam. It's there.
I see Drew brought out the "he's a nice guy" argument for Prohm last night. I remember when that started for McDermott.
We would treat it like Uthoff transferring from Wisconsin to Iowa. Probably allow it only if Foster loses a year of eligibility.
I don’t remember that in McDermotts era. I remember Jamie’s vote of confidence press conference. Drew’s comments were unprompted, plus didn’t we just beat them in KC last year and have multiple wins and Very close losses over the years? It’s not like it’s been years of arse kicking by them and he gets the “he’s a good coach” spiel by Drew. We lost, they are big, smart and they play their roles to a T. We are none of those things right now. Prohm gets this year, reset the roster, get his recruiting class in and hopefully the key pieces moving forward takes steps forward. All this year does is shrink his margin into next year.
No he didn’t. Giving his best after being hired and saying that he will do a good job =/= recommending him for the job.
I looked through his history and it still seems like Prohm has begun losing more games at home by 10+ than McDermott did.
“So during our discussions,” Pollard said, “I said to Fred ‘OK, so if you leave, who’s out there that I ought to be thinking about?’ The first person out of his mouth was Steve Prohm.
