Message: [QUOTE="CuseFaninVT, post: 2041662, member: 2002"] I saw this post and it got me thinking. And helped crystallize some of my own thoughts. I think you are onto something here. Many of us have commented on the complete lack of fundamentals this team shows - failing to box out, not reading or use screens properly, etc, etc. etc. I know JB has said in the past that he doesn't spend practice time working on these things because he expects the players to all have these fundamentals before they arrive on campus. I think that's his biggest misread of today's players. I just don't think teaching fundamentals occurs like it did in the past. The AAU culture is all about playing the game, but doesn't seem to emphasize practicing it the way kids used to. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
