Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4569082, member: 6696"] A floor leader makes a big play in those moments whether or not they're a point guard. Every perimeter player on our team makes plays with the ball in their hands. This isn't 1984. Karaban deferred, as would be expected from a freshman. Watch him again... he doesn't even face the basket on some possessions--he immediately gives the ball to Newton, Hawkins, or Andre... that's not leadership. That's deferral. It's really as simple as that. Doesn't mean he's a terrible player, or that he can't be a great leader next season. It means he's a freshman playing with a bunch of upperclassmen and trusted them. Nothing wrong with it. His leadership on the court will be paramount next year with all the new recruits, and I expect him to be a captain junior and senior year. Agree to disagree on this one.
