Message: [QUOTE="STL_CuseFan, post: 3169940, member: 6033"] Anybody else surprised with the lack of minutes he got? I know mock drafts mean absolutely nothing but this guy was at #28 in the 1st round for the 1st one released. 1st game of his college career, maybe nerves were in play but he never got a chance to get in rhythm and see one down. I love his size and athleticism and he is a guy that could easily penetrate their D and go from there. Amazing how the offense was at its most efficient when we got it inside and attacked and then either went to the hoop or made a pass or 2 for an open shot we would then miss. For the life of me I can't understand why Jim continues this same style of offense that doesn't work. Girard didn't hit his shots obviously but he has got some handles and I think will get the most minutes at PG. I love the way he moves when he doesn't have the ball. Carey needs to go MCW and just not shoot unless he's wide open and focus on moving the ball and attacking the rim. He is very good at that but he has 0 business shooting imo. No clue why Braswell didn't play. He's a guy that can make those mid range and cause there bigs to come out a little. Sidibe comes out early and Cuse gets absolutely man handled on the glass. Edwards held his own when he eventually got in. Would've loved seeing him in there earlier. It's not like Huff and Diakite are huge physical specimens that will push him around. In the end, I think it was a perfect storm. Probably a lot of nerves for some, 1st game of the year, arguably the best defense in college basketball and a team that is going to live and die by the 3 and it was an off night. Boom 34 points. Good news is you can only go up from here. I think they'll be fine but the coaching staff needs to make some serious adjustments but they won't. [/QUOTE]
