Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 5181834, member: 37"] The second and one is from an inexperienced player totally losing his player on an inbounds play. The first and one Reed got totally schooled and Ross was alert enough to come to the play with a potential to make a stop. His premature jump is a timing issue. He's only had 400 minutes of game time experience between last season and this. When I watch Ross I see a player who is engaged with everything that is happening on the court when the other team has the ball. He is reactive even when it's not his player handling it. Stewart and Mahaney on the other hand are glued to watching their player for the most part. Solo is transitioning which is why his defense is improving and he made that fantastic block. Or maybe his one on one defense is improving allowing him to be more comfortable to watch the court. So in court awareness on the defensive end Ross is ahead of Stewart without question. As far as the plus and minus differential between Ross and Stewart, some of it can be explained to timing when a player is on the court and whether the team is making or missing baskets more than the other team and is not always relatable to how well a player plays. Stewart is well ahead of Ross on the offensive end. But a part of Ross's weakness is the staff are not giving him the green light. If we were down players similar to Vital's sophomore season and Ross was getting the playing time Vital had we'd being seeing a different player on the offensive end. [/QUOTE]
