With Adams and Gilbert out we have no ball handlers that can create consistently. Smith is better at dribbling around and surveying than actually creating, B Adams is obviously not ready yet, and Vital is just not a very good ball handler. When Cobb gets touches or catches in the paint or foul line area he finds people. He has excellent skills and vision. Wilson and Polley can get a lot of free points by cutting when Cobb has the ball.
If you think about it, he’s been so misused (last year especially), but even this year, as well. I get that Hurley is trying to develop Carlton, and he’s doing a good job of it.
But I really think it’s tome to make adjustments to keep Cobb on the court, whether that’s playing zone so Cobb can possibly play with another big like Carlton or giving him more touches at the top of the key so Cobb can create....let’s use this weapon.
And before it gets brought up, yes I know he isn’t a good defender. But we need to gameplan around that as best as possible.
