[QUOTE="Sebastian GT, post: 673781, member: 426"] This is not a tournament team and never was going to be a tournament team. College basketball is about guard play. You need 3 things from your guards. 1. The ability to shoot well. 2. Don't turn the ball over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3. Have the ability to create your own shot and if not there distribute the ball effectively. 1. We can't shoot. Couldn't shoot last year either so even with Jose it doesn't really matter. Parham was brought in to be a shooter. That hasn't worked out. Price was signed because he could supposedly shoot well. He's struggled as a freshman. 2. We turn the ball over like it's a hot potato. It's inexcusable and both coaches and players are to blame. 3. Devoe has had some success creating his own shot but that's it. He got hot for a few games and now has gone in the tank. It's pretty simple. Lock him down defensively and we have no answer. No one else on this team can consistently create their own shot and knock it down. No one!!!!! PG, SG and SF spots have got to be able to shoot well, not turn it over and create. It's just not there and barring a miraculous turn of events it's not going to change. We should drop the appeal of the post season ban now. Until we recruit better at the guard position we'll never get out for this hole we've been in for seemingly ever. Pastner was hired primarily because of his reputation as a recruiter. Setting him up at an ACC school in a hotbed of high 4 star and 5 star talent like Atlanta should be working but it's not. He has failed miserably at recruiting and in particular recruiting guards and the results on the floor reflect that. What looked like a surprisingly fairly well coached team his first year has evolved into a very poorly coached team the last two years. Get old and stay old is a nice theory on paper but unless you're getting old and staying old with talented players (particularly guards) it's all just empty slogans and wasted time. [/QUOTE]
