Im not complaining about him one bit.
Just noting that when I post the synergy numbers, a lot of people start making up reasons why the numbers are wrong.
They aren't wrong. Just watch the film and you can see that a quick twitch athlete is all it takes to score on the post on him.
Im absolutely fine with it. But I do think at the end of games, we might need to play Diarra.
Maybe Diarra for strictly defense but Vogt opens up so much on offense it's hard to take him out. He got us in the bonus early, and in the second half they were doubling him when he didn't even have the ball. Allowing tre to score easily. Just hard to take him off the court.

we did sub him out the last 4 minutes or so. did some offense for defense substitutions and then the last minute or so diarra was at the 5
How about Vogt from the line this year? 64%. Nearly doubling his performance last year. That is keeping us from a hack a Shaq scenario
Said it from start of season, I'll start diarra with vogt over scott. Diarra has some of best hands on team and scott has absolutely has the worst. Tre cant grab a lose ball to save his life. Until he learns grab loose balls he needs sit.

Because lets be real. When Tre is at his he matches Gary's numbers pretty spot on. Its just needs to be as consistent as Gary was.
The dude has put up double figures in 10 of the 19 games we've played. He's had double digit rebounds in 8 games and has 7-9 rebounds in 9 other games.
He was not recruited to be a scorer.
But his elite athleticism and length is something I hope Brannen finds a way to recruit more of. You need a guy like Tre Scott on your team.
This is a weird take considering Tre Scott has the #1 Defensive rebounding percentage in the conference right now.
LOL the day John Brannen benches his league leading defensive rebounder is the day I think he's absolutely nuts.
I like Diarra. But I like him in short bursts.
Tre Scott takes a lot of heat on this board.
But his last two games:
16 points, 11 Rebounds, 1 assists
16 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists
When he puts up 16,11, & 5 on the road, he should get some serious praise. Thats Gary Clark like numbers.

People continue to take numbers as the end all be all. Any # should be taken with grain of salt. Such is the case last night with Trevon's numbers. Now I don't want to pile on because I love the kid, but if you look at his numbers he had a fantastic game. But what his numbers don't show is the vast majority of points came from others penetration and just dishing it off to him for an easy hoop. He still had a number of bad decisions, couple bad turnovers, and his defense was just ok. He got beat numerous times and failed to provide the necessary help defense on several occasions. Though I will say he played much better than he has in a lot of other games. He wasn't bad last night, just okay.
I'd have no problem subbing Vogt for offense/defense but the majority of the game he has to be in because of his dominating offensive presence. It opens so much for everyone else. His defense wasn't great last night and there were a few occasions he played bad defense but he also played good defense where his guy just made some tough shots. Plus he was left alone with no help on the block.
Diarra is starting to show signs. Hopefully he can keep improving because h could become a tremendous asset.
Scott is a PF with the #1 rebounding percentage in conference and the 2nd highest steal rate. He's also 16th in the league in Assist rate.
He is a glue Guy if I ever say one.
Sure he makes mistakes. But is playing at a much faster pace.
And we're undefeated when he scores double figures.
I just have no idea why one guy always seems to become the Damn it doll on the team.
He's literally adjusting to a new System like every one else.
I get frustrated with him as well but his effort is off the charts. His hustle is relenting.
He guarded JP Moreman most of the night, JP finished with 6 points in 34 minutes with an offensive rating of 90
He guarded one of the best scorers in our league against ECU and held him to 13 points on 13 shots.
Kahwai Leonard Gets beat on defense. Gary Clark got beat on defense. IT HAPPENS. But the overall numbers says he is a good defender.

Everything you said of Scott could also be said of Vogt. Brannen's system is designed to get the bigs open looks at the rim, Scott/Vogt still have to be at the right place and finish.
Almost everyones defense was bad last night (even Diarra made mistakes overhelping and he's usually our best defender). Scott is our top rated defender in conference play for a reason though. He had one bad game.
Vogt is very bad on defense every night. His guy makes "tough" shots almost every game because Vogt doesn't contest jump shots. And a 7'1" guy shouldn't need help on the block (though we do typically send some help). Not to mention Vogt is the worst help defender on the team. Vogt brings a lot on offense and it's worth keeping him in for that most of the time, but his defense has been bad all season.
I like the substitution pattern with Scott, Diarra and Vogt right now (I wouldn't give Sorolla minutes though). Diarra brings energy when he's in for Scott and a completely different look when in for Vogt.
Diarra also indirectly creates a lot of TO's because of his size and movement and makes inbounding the ball very difficult for the other team. We can also use some weird looks on defense Diarra play at the top of the zone and guarding their 5'10" guy for a bit (though it didn't work out too well, mostly because Diarra overhelped off of him).
Diarra also has improved offensively quite a bit and if he can knock down more threes it will make him a bigger offensive threat. Diarra leads the team in ORTG in conference play, mostly because of small sample size, but also because he has cut down on TO's in conference play, averages more assists per 40 than Vogt and has worked out a pretty good two man game with Jarron at times.
