Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 879152, member: 837"] Another excellent post -- particularly liked the observations on the Cuse zone (was thinking I had never seen either set up with everyone extended away from the basket or everyone completely ignoring the player at the top of the zone) and Grant's game. Grant is tantilizing but is just way, way, way too inconsistent right now. Focus seems to be a huge issue, IMO. Other thoughts I'd add: -- To me, watching Fair and Ennis reminds me of the Seinfeld line about grace -- "You either have grace or you don't. You can't have some grace." Honestly, those two are so smooth and polished it's incredible. Fair is unlikely to be much in the NBA (i could be wrong, but I don't really see it), but he is an exceptional college player and just underscores why it's so fun to watch college players develop. Ennis is funny b/c I loved MCW and still think he would have been unreal surrounded by a little more offensive talent (think this year's cooney, a big with good hands and solid instincts, and a wes johnson type uber-athletic wing). But Ennis is just so much more in control and as a result everyone looks better playing with him. That little dribble to the left, set a screen while dribbling and then flipping it to a wide open cooney for a great look from three is the definition of the cliche 'Basketball IQ. -- I hope Coleman watches that game film on a loop and studies Barksdale's game. It's not super pretty but that kid is in really solid shape, used his body well and created a ton of opportunities in just 20 minutes. Need to see more of that from DC. -- BMK would be in the category of 'no grace' but his hustle is fun to watch. I think Rak has improved but, IMO, he is still a long way from displacing BMK in most games that matter. -- Roberson did indeed look like he belonged He's a really intriguing prospect going forward I guess I'm probably the last one to figure that out, but it was fun to see him get some legit run last night. -- BJ Johnson -- I know people love his dad and think he has tremendous potential but I'd love to see him stop playing like a walkon and hoisting shots every time he touches it when he gets in. Not a big issue but I just wish he could pass a little of his aggressiveness on to Gbinije. [/QUOTE]
