Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3818539, member: 489"] Hey Polley is a pretty important piece to this team. We saw what he is capable of and we have no one else, minus Bouk, who can do that. After a couple good games some people got a bit crazy talking NBA, comparing him to NBA players etc etc.. He's not that guy. I mean besides not rebounding too well, when he goes to the basket there needs to be a lane a fairly open one for him to finish. He goes to the basket "small" if there is traffic and it usually ends up being a throw and not a strong take. He gets fouled on occasion thankfully but strong finishes aren't something we've seen very often and need to be in a players repertoire to make the next level. No matter he's still an important piece to our Huskies now. His defense was better until the injury no doubt but we saw how easily he has been getting beaten off the dribble. If he's going to play 26 minutes and get beat off the dribble 4-5 times badly and only get 1 rebound while not shooting well he played about 10 minute too many which was the case against the Johnnies. But again, need him to make shots. Hardest thing for him is there's no Bouk so they will lean on him defensively, no one else on the perimeter will scare our opponents. And our guards don't see things well so when he actually is open at times they're not looking his way. weird team, strange player but he's a good kid, need him to make shots to have a chance bottom line.
