Ballo is a 7 ft. true post player with offensive skills. Bona is a 6-10 athlete that can board and come up with some blocks but he’s not a post player that’s going to give UCLA much offense. That showed in this game.
What I don’t like is a 1-5 switch on the pick and roll leaving Campbell to try and guard a 7 footer. No way can he deal with that mismatch. I also don’t like fronting because there is no backside help that happened several times.
Great run by UCLA in the last couple minutes but they started too late. Defense inconsistent today and missed shots all game long.
It wouldn't matter that much if they weren't such streaky shooters.
Jaquez is right when he says that defense is going to allow them to be in every game. But ultimately streaky shooting is what's going to screw them in the tournament.
