Message: [QUOTE="cp176, post: 5209576, member: 13278"] The question that all coaches get asked and have to ask themselves - How has your team progressed? Are you better in March than you were in November? Injuries also have to be taken in to consideration. With individual players here, I think that it looks like a mixed bag. Personally I think that Ross and Johnson are the same players now as they were then. I think there has been some growth in Stewart although most here want faster progress. As for Ball and Reed, I think that their progress has been very good and will get only better. I disagree with anybody really who thinks they see point guard in Ball’s future. He is not a great handler of the ball. What he does best, the sky is the limit. I think that Diarra is essentially what he has been all along. Karaban has probably regressed in some people’s eyes. I just think that the role he has been asked to play is pretty tough. As for Nowell, I don’t think that there is going to be some huge leap between now and next year that turns him in to a starting point guard. He looks like an average ball handler and under any pressure he doesn’t look quick to me getting the ball up court. Obviously he has potential. Nothing needs to be said about McNelley. Overall I think that the coaching staff has done a good job with this group. I think that we just in general tend to overate them. [/QUOTE]
