Message: [QUOTE="yungdowork, post: 4497733, member: 10371"] I don't really think the moves are all that similar. It was a step up in competition for sure, but Boum's role at Xavier isn't drastically different than it was at UTEP. He's still being asked to do mostly the same things, but to his credit, he is shooting at a higher percentage than any other year in his career. He's also 24 (2 years older than Newton) and is one of the oldest players in all of D1 college basketball. Newton on the other hand, went from a school where he was the primary scorer to somewhere that asked him to become a point guard. We also run an offense that is not really geared towards getting him looks, or utilizing his strengths. I'm not trying to say Newton doesn't have to be better, because he's definitely underperforming, but I don't think we've made this the easiest transition for him. [/QUOTE]
