In order to play in an uptempo, fast break offense you kinda have to be good at dribbling. We had opportunities to run against UVA with Carey, but the problem is he kept meeting resistance as soon as he crossed half court. Instead of using a shimmy or misdirection and going past the defender like most good ball handlers, Carey turns his back to the defender or slows down to a stop because he is afraid he’ll get his pocket picked if he tried to go by his guy. Boom... fast break over.

This team demonstrated the desire to run off boards in the exhibitions but Carleton was a rude awakening for Carey. They pressured Carey 3/4 court and he STRUGGLED to get the team into its offense. Yes [USER=96]rrlbees[/USER] I know it didn’t lead to turn overs but it definitely disrupted our offense.

My concern is Goodine has the same tendency to stop or turn around to protect the ball rather than going past someone. Girard does not have this tendency which is why the team looks a little better on offense with him at point.
