Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 3365960, member: 1522"] Hurley says it and many on the board say we'll go as far as our senior guards. It's true for many teams but often not the case with big time programs and I don't think it should be the case for us... We absolutely need Alterique because he's the only guy on the team who can do the things he does but we'll go as far as him playing like a senior facilitor and Bouknight and Akok being the guys will take us. Alterique is still going to have his what the heck moments and what the heck games but hopefully as he gets more game play it will be minimized. Vital has been allowed to be the guy for 4 years and he's proven over and over he isn't capable... There just isn't much upside with both AG and CV being allowed to be the guys and as we've seen there's a whole lot of downside... There is a ton of upside with Bouknight and Akok, their offensive workload has to go up along with more stuff designed to get Polley looks. CV can be a really good catch and shoot guy, and his rebounding, intensity, and the occasional drive are needed he just can't be the #1 offensive option for any team who hopes to make the tournament. We don't know for sure if with 30 minutes a game and majorly increased offensive roles if Bouknight and Akok can get it done but I think trying to force it with something that's proven over and over it doesn't work will just lead us to more close losses we all think we should have won.
