I think this team is soft in a number of ways, but there's more wrong than that.  We're just not as talented and we thought we we'd be.  JS is a deep shooter (and streaky one at that) and that's about it.  Apparently he's never watched.  He can't dribble a basketball to save his life, and everyone we play knows it.   Anytime I see him have to handle the ball I hold my breath.  MCW hasn't improved on his weaknesses throughout the year.  When he can blow by a guy, he looks like a lottery pick.  When he plays a quick guy that stays in front of him he's pedestrian.  How many times this year has good ball pressure bothered him?  Far more than it should for the starting point guard.  Will he ever learn how to turn his back to a shorter defender Z Sims style, and use his length to keep the defender from knocking the ball away?  I don't know what's up with Triche.  I never expected him to be a superstar, but his play of late is dismal.  Christmas is an athletic guy without a feel for the game.  When he made that dropstep jumphook off of the glass early in the game, I hoped he was going to have a good offensive game and give us an inside presence.  I hope he sticks around.  He's got too much to learn.  Fair is what he is.  He's our best all around player right now, but he's a number 2 guy.  He's not someone that impose his will on a game.  He has to let the game come to him, which is a good trait to have, but with a team struggling on offense, we need someone that can make things happen.  This team doesn't have that player.
