Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 4189059, member: 2292"] I like these points a lot ... I just don't know how much is Hurley's fault and how much is bad luck in development, OR how much is the individual players' faults. But overall, our players are not great individually on offense. Think about what each guy gives you on O, and it's just not an overall recipe for success. Our players aren't great with the ball in traffic, can't finish that well under control in traffic, and we don't really have any knockdown shooters or shot creators. If people notice, every guy on Villanova for the last 10 years at least plays EXACTLY the same, regardless of their skill set. They may be able to do MORE if they're more skilled than others, but they all use jump stops, controlled ball fakes, ready on the catch, and they can all shoot. It's like a watching a fundamentals clinic every season, every roster. So whatever Jay does, whether it's his skills development, recruiting the right guys, or (more than likely) a combo of both, it is impressive. We need better guards/scoring wings. We have some freak athletes, but right now it's not really translating to consistent buckets, unless we feed Sanogo. [/QUOTE]
