Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 4982328, member: 86"] Obviously very happy with the win. Sometimes we judge games like the only factors are what our players do. The other team is trying to win too! Bell got a lot of open looks in the first half in unsettled situations because we forced turnovers and got out in transition. Once we got out in transition the ball movement was better especially with Judah out. One of Judah’s biggest issues is he “does not push” transition opportunities. The combination of Judah’s tendencies and better ball security by NCState slowed the games pace. That limited zBell’s looks because doesn’t move much and tends to get most of his looks when his defender has to leave him to help. NCState did not leave him at all in the 2nd. Thank God for Q. He had 2, maybe three catches of Judah air balls and put them all back. He ability to create space with his dribble has gotten better during the season, and he’s unselfish. If he’d dial it down a notch, he could run point next year…just not sure he can dial it back. He also rebounds pretty good for his size. Hima really struggles. Carey has been out a looooong time in concussion protocol. Starting to worry about that. Brown has been human the last few games, wonder if he’s wearing down with all the minutes play up a position all year long. I thought JJ played better than his stats showed. He had a couple bad plays late, but he makes some tough shots when the offense stagnates. Judah’s game speaks for itself. It can be very hard to watch and he certainly slows down the pace and over dribbles. But he can make shots. But it comes at a cost. 17-10 …there is no doubt I would have signed up for that pre-season. Especially with the injuries and Benny dismissal. We’ve certainly left some meat on the bone a few nights, but this team has serious size/rebounding limitations. I think they’ve been largely well coached. [/QUOTE]
