Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4424847, member: 6696"] It makes sense that Alleyne and Diarra would adjust quicker--they're basically filling the same role they had at their previous schools. I can see Newton doing what he needs to--driving to the FT line and making plays, swinging the ball, etc.--but it's taking too long because it isn't his natural instinct as a player. Everything is a half second late, so easier to defend. You can see when our offense breaks down that Newton defaults to dribbling 3 times and sizing up a defender like he's on the playground instead of moving the ball or shooting it right away. It's going to take time, but there's no way he won't be ready for the big games. Too competitive not to be. [/QUOTE]
