Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 3171985, member: 210"] I think in Goodine and Girard we have the raw talent to have good lead guards. To your point, playing against the best defensive team in the ACC in their first game ever of college hoops is not a recipe for success. Here are changes and development I hope to see: - Girard and Goodine are given the opportunity to get up to speed and between Girard, Goodine and Buddy we have a solid 3 guard rotation. I wish Carey the best, but so far I just don't see it. If anything I see a dude with the mentality of a an old school three who's only job was to drive to the hoop... but he has the body of a guard. Ideally we move Carey off the ball where he can use his athletic talents but Buddy is a better shooter and ball handler and Hughes is a better player period. - JB force feeds minutes to JBA and Edwards. We will not win many games if Marek is our primary option at the 5. That only worked, sort of, the last two years because we had a very physical Brissett at the 4 to compensate for Marek's lack of physical presence. I don't see that in Guerrier yet. - Hughes stops trying to play hero ball... Someone needs to tell him he's not Melo or for that matter even Tyus. - Guerrier can take back the starting spot at the 4 from Marek. This kid seems to have all the talent in the world but he just drifts in the game and makes zero impact. I said it after the exhibitions and I'll say it again... Guerrier X factor. If he steps up we can move Marek back to the bench or more likely to the 5. I think we are closer to a good team than to a bad time. I'm actually looking forward to the pre-conference games to see how these guys grow and learn. The raw talent on this team is there, we just need to give it some time. - [/QUOTE]
