Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2521386, member: 5832"] Couple of differences. I think they've finally settled on a front court rotation. Took a little while to realize that Whalley is really, really, really good. I think he's been a pleasant surprise and he needs to get as many minutes as possible heading forward. Carlton is fine as a big. And he'd get better. But he's a freshman who's just being asked to do a lot more than what he's capable of doing at this point. That's the reality of it. He'll be better for it, but it's just going to take a lot of everyone taking the bad with the good and understanding it's part of the process. Diarra is raw. He fouls too much. But he brings energy and is a nice 1st/2nd option off the bench *for this team*. He's going to have to get better, but that's all figuring itself a bit and these are the three i'd be rolling with. I'm sorry, even though he hasn't been a trainwreck of late, DO is just not a good basketball player. Seems like a great kid, but he's basically just a live human being on the court. Guards have spaced things out a lot more. They're looking for extra passes. There's more effort. There's more liveliness from the tipoff. So i'm pleased with the progress they've shown the last few games, but this is the soft part of their schedule. I'm being realistic that they're probably due for getting their doors blown off by the big guns in the conference and Villanova. They've got a loooong ways to go. But i'll take the positives for now.
