Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4868653, member: 974"] The post was not about Ball and Castle being similar players. It was not about dribbling or skill sets. It was about the approach that Castle takes to playing offense. Ball hunts shots and forces offense. Ball has fallen in love with the three point shot and abandoned other parts of his game. In short, Castle has embraced the system and uses it to enhance his strengths. The game comes to him. Ball has reduced his own role in the system to focus on one part of his game. If Ball wants more minutes he needs to follow Castle's example. If he does, he will grow his game and his time on the floor. I can tell you what Hurley did NOT say to Ball. "Go stand at the three point line and we'll get you the ball." Hurley has said that he believes in Ball's ability to shoot. The shooting is real. To improve his game and become a more complete player, he has to embrace the system. [/QUOTE]
