Message: [QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 3432808, member: 493"] It actually just buttresses the argument that you are purposefully exaggerating. The argument with CV has always, to me, been a sympathetic one. His skillset is such that in the proper role with offensive playmaking talent around him he could be an A+ player, and has only gotten knocked around here for our (unrealistic) expectations and need for him to be a primary scorer due to our horrible roster/coaching situation during his tenure. If you look at it like that you can see the point I have been making. Vitals (+) skills are numerous and elite: 1. Spot up shooting 2. Rebounding 3. Onball defense 4. toughness/swagger/competitiveness Vital's (-) skills are few but very visible on a team that lacks playmaking 1. Handle 2. Turnovers 3. Decision-making 4. Finishing at Rim Vital ranks #1 in KenPom because he's an absurdly high producer of basketball value - He does everything on the court, basically. Scores in volume, rebounds elite, steals elite, assists in volume. If god had only granted Vital a good PG during his tenure, he could have settled into a role off the ball, sat in the corner or on the wing and hit an ungodly amount of spot up 3's, not had (unfair) pressure to handle late int he shot clock, and his career efficiency would be way higher. Unfortunately that is not in the cards for him, and I think we should really drop all the BS and just enjoy the last 10 or so games from one of the premier competitors in the history of the program. For all the criticism, CV, its been done in love. We always ask the most from those that we see the most in. Thanks for being a husky. [/QUOTE]
