Negatives
Georgia still has areas that needs improvement, which is understandable five games into the season. But if they are to live up to their potential, here’s what Georgia basketball needs to fix quickly.
Maten and Frazier can’t be only scorers
Fortunately for Georgia this season, Maten and Frazier have provided enough points for Georgia to be 3-2, but they aren’t getting much help.
The team took a lot of strides in this issue against George Washington. In their first three games, only Maten and Frazier had scored in double figures. Derek Ogbeide scored went 5-of-9 from the field and scored 11 points versus the Colonials. Maten and Fazier both had 18 that night. Juwan Parker added nine points and Mike Edwards had eight points as well.
But all that progress was absent against Kansas. Maten scored 30 points, but no one else had more than seven, including Frazier who had only two points.
Georgia cannot live up to any of their expectations if someone else does not step up as a scoring threat. Whether it’s Edwards, Parker or William Jackson, it doesn’t matter. Someone needs to help out Frazier and Maten when it comes to scoring.
