[QUOTE="Techster, post: 776564, member: 360"] Couple of patterns are starting to form over the last couple of games: Teams are OK letting Moses shoot outside of 15 ft. He's missing them way more than he's making them, and teams are fine with the makes. Teams are going at Bubba and isolating him 1v1 because they have a huge mismatch on him. Moses and the staff want him to be a stretch 4/5, but he's not shooting well enough to be that: 6-17 against UVA, 6-17 against Duke. Both games were close, so those 15+ ft misses hurt. Bubba does a LOT of little things that help the team, but he's an obvious mismatch to attack on the defensive end. Jose to a certain extent, but Jose is so crafty with his hands and speed that you risk a turnover when you attack him. Bubba is also a good shooter, so you kinda have to live with the mismatch with everything else he brings to the table. We need to address those because ACC coaches see what other coaches are doing and they imitate it. Devoe...man, I'm not sure what to say. The most frustrating thing for me about Devoe is his dribbling into the teeth of the defense and either losing the ball, or totally halting our ball movement. He's definitely been an enigma this season. REALLY good player, or really frustrating to watch. I said it during the chat, but we really need to take advantage of Usher's athleticism more. If there's a player in the ACC that can keep up with him, I've yet to see it. One thing I'd like to see Usher work on is drawing fouls going to the basket. He's a good free throw shooter, so it's to our benefit if he does get fouled. Sometimes though, he so quick he kinda separates himself from getting fouled. We got outrebounded 43-28 last night. Duke had second and third chances to score and IMO that was the difference. We need to give Moses some help...give him at least 2-3 minutes each half and we have to live with whatever happens when Saba or Howard are in. Khalid Moore...baller. Need to give him more minutes, and he may be the answer to Bubba being a mismatch liability. He's not the shooter Bubba is, but he can score in other ways Bubba can't. We have to find ways to score if our outside shots are not falling. Usher is one way that we need to work on, and Wright not sitting at the top of the key is another. I'd like to see Wright at least receive the ball at the top of the key and take his man off the dribble...he's pretty athletic and had a decent handle. Maybe he opens up some shots for others when the defense collapses on him. FSU is next. TOUGH TOUGH matchup for us. I'm not sure we have a matchup advantage anywhere against them. At least it's at home. It's a hold my breathe game for me. [/QUOTE]
