Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5161114, member: 12414"] Agreed his value has been on defense. He has made a few threes but he was wide open. Some of the semi challenged shots have been rushed and then looked like scuds. But I think he has it in him. Pro scouts don’t ask about freshmen after watching practices unless they see something more than a very good defensive player. As Hurley said this all depends on how the Sophomores, Mahaney and the other freshmen mostly Nowell step up or don’t step up. But we need another reliable ball handler that can penetrate and finish or pass. Love AK but he is a straight line penetrator he sees a gap and then goes. He does not create the gaps off the bounce. Hass and Liam have been our only offensive players to do that. Nowell could be that but get ready for some freshman mistakes. When Ross does it he leaves his feet before knowing where to go with the ball if his shot is not there. But we have to win games or the quad 2 losses can pile up and really hurt our seeding. Clearly the BE is having a down year. Even without Liam we probably are better than every team except Marquette and St Johns. Georgetown is also playing well and Xavier played us tough at home. January games: @Xavier, @Georetown and @ Villanova. At home against Providence , Creighton, Butler and DePaul. 7 games before he comes back maybe. [/QUOTE]
