I made this post in another thread, but Mike averaged about 9 points per 40 minutes.  A lot of people on this board thought he would start over Cooney this year.  A lot of people thought Trevor wouldn't average 8 points a game.  It seems to me at least from the beginning of the season that Trevor surpassed expectations, while Gbinije didn't reach his, at least from posters at the beginning of the season.  Mike shot 38 percent this year, and it wasn't like he was firing threes when he came in.  Less than half his shots came from three.

As far as the three freshman that sat the bench this year, i think their stats show they couldnt play this year.  They were a combined 31-100 from the field and 8-40 from three.  They got some time early in the year and couldn't even produce against High Point.  If they did produce, they would of played later in the year.

Listen cooney stunk saturday, but he was the only one on the team this year that had any realm of a possibility to make an outside shot.  Fair couldnt shoot this year.  Ennis is not a shooter as evidenced Saturday, and Grant is definately not a shooter.  Did trevor stink Saturday and have a rough end to the season? yes? But his performance through the 25-0 start hid the fact that he was the only person on the team that the other team was even scared about beyond three.  Everybody elses defender welcomed our guys to shoot jumpers.

The problem with our offense was the fact not only did we have one shooter, we basically had no post game after Coleman got hurt.  Roc had his moments, but he wasnt exactly rick jackson or arinze onuaku in there.  This team needs more help on the wing from a shooting perspective, and more offense downlow.  Thats why we were good in 09-10.  Our offense was diversified.  We had 7 guys who could go off at any moment.  This team had 4.
