Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4114897, member: 6696"] COLE is the one limiting this team's ceiling? That is certainly a hell of a take. Let me offer some alternatives: [LIST] [*]Jackson and Whaley have decided that scoring is lame. [*]We have 2 consistent ballhandlers instead of 3 or 4--one of whom can't play the PG and isn't actually that good of a ballhandler. [/LIST] Despite all this we have a hell of a team because of our defense and some early lights out shooting. Finally playing faster helps a lot too. But the idea that Cole is limiting us is nuts. The kid is averaging 13/2/4.5 with only 1.7 TOs. He's shooting 42% from 3, was the ONLY player to hit a 3 for us yesterday, and played fantastic defense late despite the boneheaded call. He's making his FTs in the clutch. Yeah, the kid isn't Kemba or Shabaz... but that's a high-major caliber starting PG if I ever saw one. [/QUOTE]
