Message: [QUOTE="Deleted at users request, post: 5204583"] I for sure agree you can tell Lamb had tools when you watch him on the court instantly. But it did not turn into production until later. Ross similarly has tools that is not being turned into production. We mentioned the athlete part, he has a great looking jumper, and has shown pretty good handle to get to spots he wants to get to and the ability to make good passes. Look at this shot vs Marquette in a situation he HAD to shoot it in so he didn’t think about it at 3:30: [MEDIA=youtube]cwWT32VFJDs[/MEDIA] Ross was also pretty good against Georgetown and was rewarded with 8 minutes and 0 shots against Creighton the next game. My point is not that Lamb didn’t have a skillset or tools. It’s that Ross has them also. But Ross doesn’t get pushed the same way Lamb did to explore them. Hurley has been perfectly content with him doing nothing but being a 3 and D guy and may even punish him for doing more and messing up. Which is why we see 3 shots a game from him at most. Stew has similar problems where Hurley only seems comfortable with him shooting 3s as those are the majority of shots he takes. He does not get asked to explore other parts of his game. I appreciate you actually bringing an intellectual thought to the discussion rather than a snarky comment because you have nothing to add. Also yes, I’m also on the we haven’t seen if Hurley is capable of developing a PG contingent too. Which is why I’m petrified for Adams if that’s our plan for him. As for guards overall, I’m waiting for Hurley to be able to teach these guys how to do something besides shoot. [/QUOTE]
