Message: [QUOTE="Ghost, post: 3279002, member: 581"] He has - I'm wary about expecting much in the way of progress with the lack of athleticism, etc... Again, very much dependent on how things shake out next year, but if Hughes does go, and Buddy has a SF a bit less versatile than Hughes out there to suck up the defensive attention, what happens? When the mismatches aren't there, we're often just stuck waiting for threes...which means sitting back, sort of like what you saw against Duke, we wade through 32 minutes of pedestrian play, only to see 2 or 3 quick threes and everyone yelling, "yeah, that's why's he's in there folks! Watch out!" I don't know that I love that trade off - especially on a squad sans Hughes (and I'm a tad skeptical his usage is going down much in the future). Anyway, at this point he seems adept at recognizing and exploiting mismatches, and some progress on scoring inside the arc. [/QUOTE]
