Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 2864863, member: 6979"] I think buddy should still be in the rotation but he should have a shorter leash than he's had - a more historically consistent leash, if you will. there's a definite chance that by the end of year he's gotten over his yips and is a weapon - he has been trending up a bit in the shooting column. i think that is why JB is playing him - but i think it is not a warranted gamble he is making there... RE tomfoolery - everything chukwu does is a bit goofy - 2 games ago, instead of completing an uncontested dunk, he managed to foul out and turn the ball over after catching the ball wide open under the hoop - that was insane. so yeah by 'tomfoolery' i'm referencing everything he does - but also there was a specific play in the GT game that was egregious: again, as is his wont, he was under the hoop - but this time on defense - somehow he managed to slam into hughes and hughes went to the bench holding his hip - later on hughes was seen on the bench still holding his hip - i think that might actually be why buddy played so much in the second half - elijah didn't do much after that. then, pon the play chukwu got hurt - he bungled soemthing then tried to save it while twisting and falling but turned it over to start an opponent fastbreak...smdh...the guy is a walking clownshow... hughes has been papering over this team's bad shooting last couple of games - and since he had an off night- the lights came on and they werent ready. chukwu has managed recently to turn positive situations into bad ones, spectacularly - his most significant impact vs GT was injuring hughes and himself in the same game, imo -hopefully elijah is good for the Duke game - he's gonna need to ball out. hopefully JB realizes chukwu is a break glass only in emergencies player...it dumbofunded me that chukwu played so many minutes vs GT after the clemson game and that sidibe only played 4 minutes... sidibe got screened on a lob dunk and couldnt block it then rode the bench the rest of the game - to the TEAM's DETRIMENT. he was on a VERY SHORT LEASH. JB had a stinker in this one, imo. [/QUOTE]
