It sounds like Jaden might be out for several weeks. It feels like this might be a bigger loss than most fans think. We looked way worse in our first couple games without him. Was that just because we had to figure some things out early in the season or because we didn’t have Jaden spearheading our defense? I guess we’re about to find out.
Naw and Kyle need to step up. Tbj too. We have depth for this reason and a sprained ankle is so much better than an Achilles or acl. Every team will have some form of injury.
The impact will be felt, but I think they’ll manage. The first two games were probably just jitters and still getting to know how each other plays. Everyone is starting to settle in roles now and are becoming more comfortable with each other. This team do need others to step up…
Well our defense looked great in those games. It was our offense that was shaky for the first 5-6 quarters of the season. Not saying we won’t be missing a lot, but our first few games our defense was great.
It’s a big loss.
Great teams navigate this sort of thing. Amazing we have SloMo and NAW to step in.
I mean TBH despite a slow start, I’ve been pleasantly surprised about NAW progressing faster than expected than Jaden who’s been sort of up and down this year. Ups have looked great though, it’s a tough loss either way. But if NAW plays consistently like he did yesterday, no problem.
Naw been great defensively and knocking down 3s recently. If he can keep it up we might minimize the loss.
With Naw or Kyle moving up to starting line up, we really need Shake to step up in the second string.
