Message: [QUOTE="Scott11, post: 3711159, member: 6797"] A few thoughts: -Before the season i was so impressed with AG because he came across in interviews as such thoughtful, intelligent young man. He very well may be. But he makes some of the most puzzling decisions on the court. The late turnover was mind blowing, like he was dribbling out the last few seconds of a conceded win. But he also took the pedal off the medal and turned an easy dunk into a held ball. His shot selection continues to be questionable at best. Someone on the staff should show him his fg percentage when he is open versus not. He can pass but doesn't seem to want to. He could potentially play in the league if he becomes more well rounded and focused. -Thrilled to see Buddy make some shots. But how does JB think that Buddy is best served by playing 40 minutes? Shooters need their legs. Buddy also needs his legs to play his best defense, which is already limited. Ironic that JB is not putting Buddy in the best position to succeed. Like AG I hope it occurs to Buddy that the shots he made were for the most part quality looks and not closely contested. -Easily Quincy's worst game of the year but he had some bad luck on the rims and inexplicably the refs killed him both on offense and defense. I'm sure he'll learn from that indefensible foul on the three point shooter. But still we did not get him the ball enough. As usual he got great looks. He was 5-11 from the field and missed 3-4 bunnies he usually makes in his sleep. Marek in particular missed Q on a few occasions when he was wide open. -Kadary was excellent obviously. The highlight lefty spin job was beautiful. I wonder if teams will start daring him to shoot from the outside and defend him accordingly. I saw a poster suggest JB doesn't play him more because he doesn't want him to declare for the draft. Insane. JB wants to win more than anyone and by the way Kadary is not near ready. Let's just enjoy watching the kid play. I will say having our best defensive player on the court for only 16 minutes is questionable at best. -JB's postgame comments killing Braswell and Edwards were hard to fathom. They were on the court for a combined 3 minutes. Braswell should be getting at least 5-8 of AG's minutes. He defends well and can shoot when wide open. Just like Woody should be getting 5 of Buddy's minutes with JG3 or AG shifting to the 2. And Marek only comes out when he is in foul trouble. I think some breathers would do him well and hopefully Bournama will return and help with that and our rebounding and interior d. -No softies left except maybe BC but you never know. Need to beat Louisville at home Wednesday. Our season would feel a lot different if we had not gagged away that Pitt game on insurrection day. [/QUOTE]
