Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 3465831, member: 173"] The lineup Hurley started the year with was unworkable and the changes (including two freshman guards getting much improved by playing and getting healthy and getting coached up) in the lineup completely changed how team plays. I was really down on early AG CV play into beginning of AAC play. Now looking back see they were in no win situation. Carlton can't catch, pass, dribble, finish around rim, shoot fouls or hedge and recover on defense. Akok can't catch ball, pass to him he gives it right back to you, plays lot of minutes with few shots and few points. Polley stationary on offense, if he catches is threat to shoot, nothing else. That leaves an undersized AG with no one cutting or to pass to (who can catch and/or do anything other than pass it back), bigs on opponents defense crowding lane with Carlton and Akok not good cutters or catchers. His only option CV. CV gets ball and who does he pass to? Give it back to AG or try to do something himself. Fast forward to JB a real threat to drive or shoot, my boy IW who can catch, finish and pass and hedges well on defense, combo of Adams and Gaffney who are threats with ball to drive or shoot and can catch and pass. This has greatly helped both AG and CV be the players of late that thought they would be earlier. [/QUOTE]
