[QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 1630761, member: 175"] Not at all - that's pretty accurate basketball analysis and not an attack on his character so there's nothing slammable. I think our team personnel forced our hand a bit. Adams wasn't ready to be the guy running everything - as much as he showed flashes, he couldn't shoot consistently and had bouts of immaturity. If we tried to force him to be the team leader 100 percent of the time, with a little bit of growing up to do, it would have been a long year. Adams learned some important lessons this year without the pressure of being the only driver of the car and with another year to grow and work on his jumper, he'll be more ready next year -- and he didn't have his confidence shot by having a tom of responsibility on his shoulders. So we shoe-horned Gibbs into the role of lead guard a lot, and I think he did his best - that explosive step to get by a defender (even a hedging big) wasn't there. Like I said up thread, I think he could have been an ideal conplement to Boat last year if he was born a year earlier. But you're correct - Gibbs wasn't the perfect fit for the hole we had, but the alternative to not bringing him in could have been NIT or worse. [/QUOTE]
