Message: [QUOTE="navery12, post: 4796868, member: 6271"] But I think that's the point. At this time last year that was not the consensus feeling. There was positivity about the bench, but there was not about Alleyne and to a lesser extent Calcaterra. These are all comments from after the MTE games last year (so post MTE like we are right now). Not going to include posters because it's not meant to be a shame fest [I]They exposed Joey C on defense more than he has even the last couple games. He really needs a rim protector behind him. Still an incredibly impressive offensive player. Alleyne… not good today. He’s totally out of sorts right now. Gotta imagine he figures it out but I hope it happens sooner rather than later. Alleyne-, I mean, he doesn’t offer much besides some good defense from time to time. Hoping he starts hitting shots, but he’s careless with the ball and not much of a creator. Yeah Alleyne just looks a step slow in everything he does. Really disappointed in him. Good thing Joey California is better than we thought. What’s weird is that he just looks so clumsy. Can’t catch the ball or dribble or stay on balance. His turnovers were like scared freshman turnovers from someone not used to the speed of the game. I think Newton actually got two turnovers that should have been Alleyne’s - hit him in the hands. At least one near the mid court stripe - not sure if he threw the entry to him.[/I] [/QUOTE]
