Message: [QUOTE="UConnStats, post: 3390193, member: 5842"] Gilbert and Carlton have the 3rd and 2nd lowest +/- on the team. When contrasting that to the expectations for them (both projected top 3), you basically account for the lackluster results this year. People have been harping on Hurley not being able to run his system or having his guys, but it doesn’t matter who is coaching the team right now. They have no backup ready for substantial minutes at the 1 or 5, and they’re getting far below average production at each of those positions. Nobody can save Carlton from his -14% 2PT variance from last year but himself. Nobody can force Gilbert out of his rut but himself. I guess the biggest issue was overrating their ability going into the year and not being able to secure competent alternatives. But our options are what they are at PG and C. They either will start to play better, or the team will keep declining. [/QUOTE]
