I assume Skyy would take the 1 if he benched Dylan.
Someone on BRO said other than the late season last year, Dylan's best time at UCLA was freshman year backing up Tyger just playing all out for about 12-15 MPG. Maybe that's the role he's going to end up with I don't know. We're 12 games in now doesn't seem like the switch is flipping anytime soon to how he finished up last year.
Clark missed the 2 huge 1 and 1's and Bilo missed 4.
I'm ok with putting the ball in Macks' hands at the end there because he's so good at drawing fouls but as soon as the 2nd defender came over he should have given it up, but I guess I realize now why he didn't, the open guy was Dylan who'd done nothing the entire game. He probably could have forced the ball to Bilo but it wasn't an easy pass and would have been a tough shot for Bilo to catch and turn and shoot. So he probably made the right decision to shoot it, just missed it.
The whole thing is so annoying. If you watch the last sequence after the no call on the ball knocked out off Dylan. When they inbound to Tribble he blatantly walks, he loses his footing and shuffles his feet to get set, and then takes another step before handing the ball off to Davis. In that same sequence Kobe ends up falling over Tribble who turns as he's handing the ball off to screen him, I think Mack actually pushed Kobe into him. They don't call the foul on Kobe falling over him, they don't call the foul on Tribble for turning on the screen. But they then call a foul on Laz who is literally hands up trying to run away from Davis to avoid the foul. The amount of contact there compared to the Tribble and Kobe collison is comical
