Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4541835, member: 9355"] Very good post. Correct on Providence. If they can draw some quick fouls on Croswell it will take his aggressiveness away. He is a good aggressive rim runner and rebounder. However, if UConn can cut off penetration from Bynum, Carter, and Hopkins it will drastically reduce Croswell's effectiveness as he grabs rebounds when his defender has to help. He really doesn't have much of a post up game besides crashing into his defender like uncoordinated bull. Hopkins, who is my BEPOY at this point, isn't really a good defender so Karaban should look to drive more. As for your statements on AJax, 100% and thanks. I have been screaming this from the rooftop. Opponents are playing him to pass to the extreme because it is so easy to see he is like a Ben Simmons and scared to shoot. That's why I was so pumped about his game yesterday, he was really good. That breakaway layup was him being assertive. When defenders look to step in front of him to draw the charge then that is when AJax can do what he does best which is pass (connVA's post #25) but he has to do it under control without spazzing and whipping a fastball from 3 feet away.
