Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5204499, member: 880"] Is your vibe that Hurley doesn't develop perimeter players? He just put two in the NBA in Hawkins and Jackson, we saw Newton make a huge jump from Sr. to Super Senior year (let's be honest, he was mediocre until the tourney in 23), and Ball is undoubtedly a better player this year, albeit flawed, but better. So again, what is your point? Lamb's minutes fluctuated until things clicked once the BE season began. He was far and away our best (only?) option at the 2G. Our guards that year were Kemba, who was going to play 35 minutes, Bazz, and Lamb. DBev was there but only played a few minutes. JC saw enough and said let's go all in and that was that. I know its hindsight, but in terms of skillset, Lamb was a vastly superior player and I'm one of the biggest Ross fans on this board. Ross and Stew have been big disappointments this year. But I do not think it's Dan Hurley's lack of development. Both have been horrifically inconsistent, are prone to truly bonehead plays on both sides of the ball, and play with absolutely zero confidence. Stew was the starter for over a month with a longer leash and you still never knew who was going to show up game-to-game. I'm all for being critical of aspects of Dan Hurley this year. But player development, this year, is not one of those aspects, IMO. [/QUOTE]
