[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 548490, member: 630"] I don't believe you will find a lot of good teams starting a guy who plays 30 minutes and takes one shot and scores no points--just because of his defense. If Banks is getting more time than AD because "we're playing with an eye for the future," wouldn't you get him the ball and have him work on his post moves/offensive game? He took one shot. If "we're playing with an eye for the future," wouldn't Moore have gotten more than 1 minute of playing time against Miami, while Alston got 11 minutes? It's almost the end of the season and I don't see a lot of improvement. The 4 freshmen now have a year under their belts and the sophs have 2 years (and what does "playing here" have to do with it? Is basketball different at Texas or Tennessee? I hear Tennessee has a pretty good coach). Our top 7 or 8 against FSU's top 7 0r 8--we were on track to score 37 points in a 40 minute game--at home. 37 points! That was a week ago. A young Kentucky team got blown out by Duke first game of the season. Now UK is a top 5 team because they have improved. And before some extremist says we don't have top 5 talent, well of course--but we have better talent -and experience---than to score 30 points in 33 minutes at home against FSU last week or to score 23 in the first half yesterday against a Miami team that is not that good. There seems to be no strategy on offense. The team is pretty well coached on defense, and maybe defense keeps them in games (sometimes), but a close loss is still a loss. You don't win basketball games without scoring. It ain't soccer. [/QUOTE]
