I think we're all pretty comfortable that this team if it plays the way it has been can make the final four. But what do we need to do to win the whole enchilada? With the shot blocking and defense that both Kentucky and North Carolina have, I think we have to develop some semblance of a low post game.
It doesn't look like Christmas will be able to develop enough this year to be any kind of factor, although he has actually showed an ability to play with his back to the basket. So obviously this falls on Melo.
Remember when he had the nice up and unders' early on? He had a few hooks here and there as well? I think at this point we need to stop worrying about going undefeated and making this team as good as possible come March. We're getting ahead of teams enough at this point to start working on that aspect of our half court offense. It may be ugly for a while but isn't it worth it in the end? Even if it possibly costs us a victory? I'd love to go undefeated and maybe we can still do it while working the low post game in, but I'd really love to not lose our last game.
I'm not saying Melo is going to become Sullinger but he maybe be able to draw a couple fouls on Davis, Zeller or Henson and that would be HUGE for us.
