Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 4908204, member: 837"] Yeah, and I'm sure he's a bright kid but he often seems a little slow to process the plays as well. Not sure how playable he is against good teams. Did think he handled a couple pick-and-rolls better tonight than he had in the first 11 games. Other thoughts: -- The starting lineup with mcleod, jj, judah, bell, taylor is a very one-demensional group if Bell or JJ aren't knocking down looks. I mean, I guess you could say that about any lineup but Taylor is still very much figuring out how to score (let alone score efficiently) at this level, mcleod isn't going to score and, tonight at least, JJ and Bell were no bueno either. It's an OK group defensively, but not terrific on that end either. Will be interesting to see how minutes shake out headed to ACC games. -- 1 official turnover for copeland after two in 32 minutes (I think) against oregon. Three in 58 minutes is great news for us because he does a lot of other things. Still gets a little wild at times, but another nice game for him. -- Cuffe is a solid defender and brings energy. Major luxury being able to bring he and Q off the bench. -- Nice game from Benny, generally. 12 pretty active minutes. Needs to move the ball on a runout and still gets a little lost defensively from time to time, but was pretty solid in those 12. -- Judah, not his best game. Before people completely eviscerate him over a rough final few minutes, he still managed to get a transition layup and then hit brown for an alley-oop to ice it and finished with 18, 4 and 4 with two steals. I think the little things are still where he could improve (occasionally making a pass to an open shooter, being more consistent with his effort defensively, etc. But when your bad game is one with those numbers, I mean, that's pretty good. -- Still need to work on our communication defensively and our movement offensively, but take the W and hope we can learn a few things from it.
