Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4983776, member: 722"] I agree, Mintz is elite at penetrating on the isolation and either finishing (he's good) or getting to the line (truly the best in the country). What he needs to do is recognize when opponents are doubling or triple teaming him to take away the penetration and find the open man. He's not great at this, maybe even below average. He seems to get tunnel vision in the drive. Some guys just don't do a good job finding the open guy on dribble penetration. But he still had four assists! But Mintz being so good on the isolation forces teams to change their defense. NC State was doing a great job blocking Mintz on the isolation, but between doubling Mintz and face guarding Bell, it let Copeland have a lot of room against a guy he could beat. That was the game.
