Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 1437272, member: 230"] Player Evaluations for those that missed the game. Keita has extended his offensive range and improved his dribble. He is getting better. Still has bad hands. Devo is playing like the Devo of old, aggressive, more than adequate outside shot and with his quickness he gets to the rim better than anyone else and with his ambidexterity he finishes better than any other guard. Underestimate him at your own peril. He was our leading scorer. However, as usual, he does not value the ball. I guess that it goes with his all out style. the Eraser came in cold but soon settled in. Missed his first shot but then started hitting like clockwork. Makes good decisions. does not force shots. Impressive. Has the best hands of any big on the court. Snared several rebounds by tapping the ball to himself that no one else could have corralled. Nichols had an off night. Some shots were in and out. He was active but almost shot us out of the game. Mookie, poor Mookie, he can hit the three but no one gives him a chance to see what he could do over time. Hak, still an athletic freak. He can turn a mid-range shot into a dunk like no one else. The offense needs to go through him but he also forces some shots when he should pass. NBA habits. Roberts, with rested knees he is a rebounding freak but his offense is, as always, erratic. One play is a smooth drive with the force of a speeding locomotive and the next its back to spaz boy with a rushed shot or a panicked wild pass. Needs to take a chill pill. Dean has been great and sorely needed as we are thin at point guard. Would love to see funky Josh Pace coming off the bench for instant offense as needed, and Donte as he would open things up as an outside threat. Even if they win it all, its only about 100k each, but it gives them a chance to be on display which is especially important for players like Devo coming back after an injury. Overall,our D was sketchy, not typical of a Cuse team. We need to pick it up on D by extending the zone when an outside shooter gets hot. Poetry needs to make in game defensive adjustments. [/QUOTE]
