Gonna need them both. Like JB said earlier, what we need most is Frank’s shooting so he can slide Tyus to the 3 with Carey on the floor.
Frank isn’t healthy, at least twice today he didn’t even attempt to challenge a 3 point shooter. Just stared him down, that’s not how he played last year.
Carey gives us a different dimension, but he’s high risk high reward right now. He makes plays that Frank can’t pushing the ball...but he’s also bound to make freshmen decisions.
But Carey is covering sooooo much ground at the top of the zone. He is an ELITE defender ...I think most are coming around to this part of his game.
People (myself included) are in love with Carey’s potential...but we’re not going to get his polished product this year...and he will not be allowed to shoot this year.
Both need to play well for us to be better.
With all due respect, do you honestly think so? I mean, in my view, I think what we need most from Frank is running the offense to set up our 3 scorers, Battle, OB & Hughes. Yeah, an occasional outside shot by Frank to keep the D honest, but he needs to be the floor general, and that means penetrating, creating, etc., not dribbling and dribbling with no apparent purpose and same with the patty cake passing he likes to do. Just my $.02.
