Message: [QUOTE="Report Card, post: 3328229, member: 9133"] [B]A. Akok: 6.5- [/B]Only player who played his role last night. 2/2 from the 3 pt line makes me want to smooch him on the lips. He's already a great talent who's only getting better with each game. [U]0 assists.[/U] [B]T. Polley: 5.5- [/B]4/4 from the 3 pt line is another great takeaway from the game and a confidence builder for the kid. 2 rebounds: not so much. [U]0 assists.[/U] [B]J. Carlton: 3.5- [/B]Doesn't fare well against smaller/quicker competition i.e Saint Michael's. Nonetheless, he seemed asleep most of the time. Needed to get more involved the 2nd half. A simple: "Hey AG, CV, give me *%&!*% ball" would have been inspiring. [U]0 assists.[/U] [B]S. Wilson: 2.0- [/B] No defense. None. Complete lack of urgency. Had his hands down guarding the 3 ball all night long. On offense, why drive left if said left hand is more crippled than Johnny Tremain's? [U]1 assist.[/U] [B]C. Vital: 2.0- [/B]Completely strayed away from his role offensively. Took selfish/contested shots all night. The 3s he made had no business going in. [U]2 assists.[/U] [B]B. Adams: 1.0- [/B]Forced it. Needs to let the game come to him (granted, hard to do when CV and AG played the way they did). [U]1 assist.[/U] [B]J. Gaffney: 1.0- [/B]Time to put his big boy shoes on and step up. We need him now. Not next year. Now. [U]0 assists.[/U] [B]I. Whaley: 0.5[/B]- 0 rebounds. [U]0 assists.[/U] [B]A. Gilbert: 0.5- [/B]You get a minimum amount of points for signing your name on the ACT exam, likewise, you get 0.5 points on the RC scale for showing up. It's enough, he needs to change his game completely. He needs to become an assist driven point guard. He has the ability, just not the mindset. As of now, he's the only one on the team who can handle the ball. He's also absolutely killing us on defense. His help defense is leaving his man wide open. This was a problem with him all of last year. The coaches need to have a serious sit down talk with him. AG cost us this game. AG cost us this game. AG cost us this game. [U]2 assists.[/U] [B]Player of the Match: AKOK AKOK. [/B]Love everything about this freshman. [B]Game Notes: [/B] - This was indeed, a "matchup nightmare". We were forced to play a type of defense foreign to anything we're used to. But Hurley had to better prepare the team with a simple HAND DOWN MAN DOWN attitude. - I want to believe the coaches worked out these kids hard on Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. This is typical in the early parts of the season against buy teams. Perhaps it was too hard and explains the lack of legs. Yes, I'm a glass half full type of guy. - Hurley gave AG and CV too much offensive freedom. - We need to draw up [S]better[/S] plays before halftime. Giving AG the ball in isolation 2 games in a row now is highly questionable. - [U]7 assists[/U] as a team against SJU is underline-worthy-alarming. - James Bouknight has handles and created plenty for his teammates in high school. It's clear we desperately need him. - Having said all that, we're beating FL on Sunday; I can feel it in my plums. - Javonte Brown Ferguson [/QUOTE]
