[QUOTE="GTJason, post: 30407, member: 94"] I think Kam did a good job against him. Kam is a one trick pony with that jump hook, he travels bad on just about every play, and he puts a little extra oomf on his screens which finally got called yesterday. That last point is the most important when playing defense. Holsey is aggressive and will let you know he's there on defense. MGH and Q are more finesse players and while they have much greater skill than Holsey, they would have been outmatched against Warren The biggest issue on this team is stamina and unfortunately it's not really something that can be worked on during the season. We went into the season expecting 10+ players to get minutes, now we have 9 and at least one of which was not part of that 10 (though I have been impressed with Heyward.) The stamina issue can be seen in lazy passes and missed jump shots in the 2nd half especially the last 10 minutes of the game. Also our post guys seem to lose their ability to back guys into the rim and finish hard. Every guy on the team should be prepared to play 35 minutes, but none are prepared to play more than 25. If you have a knock against CBG this might be it. It wouldn't be an issue if we had more players, but the reality is we don't and the team which seems to be peaking in their level of play at the right time of the season just can't seem to get it done. CBG has done a lot well including in game management, set plays, getting the team to peak during ACC play, and recruiting (although that seems to have died off - we need one more high level guy or a big class this next year.) The final inbounds play was run to perfection with 2 seconds left in the game and had Bolden sunk the jumper CBG would have gotten all of the credit. FWIW, I really enjoyed 44 minutes and 58 seconds of ACC basketball yesterday. Hopefully he learns from the stamina issue this year and has the team ready to go next year. Who would have thought we would have lost 2 major players and one would go crazy through the season? [/QUOTE]
