Message: [QUOTE="ThabeetDown, post: 2947840, member: 4336"] -Love the play where Jalen goes into the center of the zone. All eyeballs go on the ball movement on the perimeter and they leave our best player wide open for a high % shot at the FT line. Even if teams begin to figure this out, Jalen has enough court vision to dish it out to a now wide open shooter. Hope to see more of this, especially vs FSU who I assume will play a lot of zone with their length -Polley's growth in confidence is HUGE. Just like what the commenter said, that 3 he took at the top of the arc was something he might not have even taken, let alone made, at the start of the year. Really enjoy him scoring at the rim as well -- he's quickly becoming a guy that can consistently score from every area of the floor which not many guys can say -Even though he wasn't scoring, you can just see how important Gilbert is on offense -- something that was missing tremendously the last 2 seasons. You can't expect Jalen to score and distribute (same with Vital) so having one guy that can take on a pure point guard role as needed is massive. I still expect Gilbert to go back to scoring as needed because we'll need him to take more than 4 shots a game vs good teams -B Adams/Smith combined for: 40 min, 20 pts, 6-14 FG (1-4 3P), 7-9 FT, 8 REB, 3 AST. You take that every time from your bench guards. If they put those numbers up every game you are beyond happy. Worth noting that B Adams outplayed Smith 23 min to 17 -Obviously much different opponent than Arizona, but only 1 TO for Jalen and 3 for Vital. All you can ask for is improvement game-to-game [/QUOTE]
