What does Carey do better than Girard?  Defense?  Even so we don't really seem to lose much when he's been up top the 2 games.

Girard is the better shooter.  He pushes the ball better(even though some want to claim Carey can push it).  He sets guys up in their sweet spots to score better. He uses the PnR better.  He passes better.

I believe last night I saw our first fast break alley-oop since Triche graduated/MCW went to the NBA.

I think some people want to see Carey do well, but the skill is not there.  If he leaves this opens up time for Goodine as well who I really really like as a prospect.

JB is not kidding around.  He feels the heat about the offense and is sick of being on the bubble.

My opinion is if we stuck with Carey for 30mpg is we were going to be white knuckling to 19 wins again and we still may with Girard/Goodine, but hopefully it's by a score of 70-75 instead of 55-60.

Also athleticism is overrated in basketball IMO.  Some of our best guards have not been great athletes(scoop/Rautins/pearl etc)  and I happen to think Girard is more athletic than people give him credit for.
