Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 252412, member: 237"] Good Post CIC. I was getting frustrated seeing DC2 having to inball the ball as well. Did not make sense and basically gave the east team no post presence when Coleman was in there as he was trailing the play. To those criticizing his defense, its hard to be in position when not one perimeter player was staying in front of their man. When defense became important in the last five minutes or so .. you saw his ability to use his length to get into the passing lanes and his ability to move his meet to keep people in front of him. On offense I thought he was very impressive. He pinned his man nearly every time he posted and drew the attention of the perimeter defender to open up the driving lanes. When he was given the ball in a position he could do something with it, there was no hesitation whatsoever and he just attacked. He is no Carmelo, but he attacked quickly and effectively in the post much like Melo used to do. Considering he was playing with one of the weakest burger boy PG's (Lewis) I have seen in a while and with the out of control guys in the game in Poythress.. he was solid. On the boards is where you can see his conditioning needs some work.. luckily we have athletes to help him there when the ball is outside his area. Otherwise when its near him and he can get his big paws on it.. that is his rebound. The soft jumpshot is promising.. and critical for a guy who throws his weight around like he does. This will keep defenders honest. The outlet pass capability is a huge positive, and it might allow the zone to consistantly leak one player out while four crash considering DC2 is throwing the outlet. On another note I couldnt be happier for UK to be landing Poythress.. a strong yet low bball IQ ballhog .. I gladly support his choice of school. Hopefully Bazz.. goes out west. [/QUOTE]
