The talent is sub-par in terms of being ACC caliber.

Red has been unable to get this group to play above the mediocre talent level.

Last night, eg, Bell had a great first half. Why wasnt he rewarded with a second half start ? The sin was compounded when Cuffe came in ahead of him as the first second half sub. The prior game Moore was hot at the outset and got pulled never to return in the first half.

When you have mediocre talent to begin with and somebody actually gets hot, it is critical to keep riding the hot hand for as long as possible.

I actually think Lampkin is the only player who has improved through the course of the season...and he is a senior who should have had the least room for improvement.

Everybody else muddles between flashes of OK ball and sub-mediocrity.

JJ is our star, but I rarely see him take over games when they are close. Yesterday he was clearly outplayed by Cleveland. He got his 25 on 8 for 21 and many of the points were at the end when Miami had the game in hand. Truth be told, on a decent team, JJ should be a slightly above average player and not the pseudo star that he is here.

Taylor, Moore, and Davis COMBINED for 8 points. 8 points from THREE starters !!!

Most of the criticism Red gets is valid, but lets get real, other than Eddie and to some extent JJ, he cant predict how anybody else will play during a given game.
