[QUOTE="Techster, post: 775457, member: 360"] Wonder if we're playing better with "small ball". Outside of James Banks, our biggest contributors are all the same guys from last season. Having Sturdivant, who is essentially the only new contributor, helps a lot because he can spell Alvarado/Devoe/Bubba, but he's also really good moving the ball and getting opportunistic buckets. We're essentially a 3 guard - 1 small forward - 1 power forward team. Banks was a big contributor (essentially a double-double guy) on the offensive and defensive end, so it's not like Banks was just a big body out there. Pastner said that since we no longer have Banks to protect the rim, we are relying on our guards to clog the lanes and pick off passes in lieu of the blocked shots than Banks gave us. We saw against Clemson that we are also trying to disrupt big guys driving into the lane by getting offensive charging calls...which Bubba put a master class on. If you look at our scoring, we have 5 guys (Alvarado 18pts/gm, Moses 17 pts/gm, Devoe 14 pts/game, Usher 9.7 pts/game, Bubba 9.7 pts/game) that can give us double figure scoring on any night, and we have 2 guys (Moore, Sturdivant) who give us that potential off the bench. That's REALLY hard to defend. Teams can't pick one or two guys to focus on because we can get scoring from almost anywhere now. Against Clemson, we had 3 guys give us 20+ points, and 2 other guys who almost had double figures. The one guy in our starting lineup that wasn't close to double figures may have been our most impactful on the defensive end with how he drew charging fouls...and that was Bubba. We have become a hard team to defend, but the defense we've always been really good at is also returning to form. GT has definitely become a team this season that no team probably wants to see. Scrappy, good on defense, and hard to defend against because we can get buckets from almost anywhere. All that, and what it comes down to is, this is the team we all expected during the offseason. The next row of UVA/Duke/FSU/ND/UVA games is going to tell us a LOT about this team. [/QUOTE]
