Message: [QUOTE="kemba, post: 3174361, member: 1133"] A lot of weird points being made here: -Same people saying Vital is only efficient because he just gets to shoot open shots all day are criticizing him for his shot selection. Makes no sense. Vital his first 2 years was an ineffcient scorer who should have been a backup with a short lease. Junior year Vital was a completely different player. -Vital is not a pg and the only time he's ever played that role at all is out of sheer necessity. Don't know why he's being knocked for that, its not his role. Or why guys like Shabazz is being brought up. Yes, comparing Shabazz and Vital statistically doesn't make any sense because of their different roles. Doesn't mean that any guard who handles the ball more and attempts to create more is automatically better than Vital regardless of statistics -Very hopeful that Gilbert, because of his talent, because of shaking off the rust last year, and because of being healthy now and get to work on his game will take a huge leap next year and become our best player. He's not as of now though. He is a highly touted recruit who has shown flashes and ability but he needs to get a lot better in pretty much every area. -Saying if Vital is our best player next year we will be bad is fair, we need Gilbert to be a star at pg next year. We also need some other things to happen but comparing bigs and guards is hard. But if you're expecting the freshmen guards to pass Vital next year either you need to recalibrate your expectations for them or you are underrating Vital [/QUOTE]
