Message: [QUOTE="Gabjon, post: 3165287, member: 990"] At the 6:19 mark Girard tried to beat his man off the dibble because the defender was pressed up on him which everyone will do because of his shooting ability. He drove in jumped off of two feet and shot an air ball layup. Against a ACC opponent its a blocked shot. He needs to develop a floater. I point this out because expectations have gotten completely out of hand. I do not see him as a better athlete than Buddy, but he is 5" or 6" shorter. At the 5:37 mark Girard gave up a straight line drive leading to a dump off and a bucket. I think he with will struggle at the top of the zone. I question his foot speed and is jumping ability, if he was 6'-6" I wouldn't be as concerned but at 6'-1" you need to be quick to play at this level. [/QUOTE]
