[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 492550, member: 4110"] While I have a minute while the turkey roasts and the collards tenderize.... Good golly the house smells like heaven. Lots to be thankful for... 11-42 at halftime is a score that I'd expect from Duke, but only Duke seems to be able sustain that for both halves. Krzyzewski must put something in is team's Gatorade. Good to see Gonzaga and Few take Duke. Few built Gonzaga in a similar fashion that Pastner is trying to build GT. I'm good with that. Anyway, I turned the game off midway through the second half because of all the fouls and lack of focus from GT. They didn't publish the +/- stats from the game for some reason on rambinwreck.com, but if I were to guess, I think Moses Wright would have won on that stat. He was tremendously active on the defensive end in his 23 minutes, shot 5 of 8 from the field and didn't turn the ball over despite handling the ball way more than most feint of heart Gt fans would like. He needs to up his rebound numbers, but he is a key guy, and he and Devoe are fluid players who create. I love that! I like Devoe more as creator than shooter. His shot is rather hard and flat, but I still hope he gets hot from outside. But I think Devoe is best getting into the lane and causing havoc. Consistent with his high school film, he is crafty, if not explosive, around the bucket. Alston continues to be a bulldog. Can he sustain the production when we the competition ramps-up? I hope so. Phillips is a big disappointment so far. This was his worst game yet and he is bogging down the offense. With the other guards playing better than he is, he needs to pick-it-up to sustain his minutes when we start playing the grown-ups. I think that Banks is going to really help us against the good competition, but only on the boards and defense. His hands are just awful. I wish we had sat him out this year because he is taking minutes from Gueye and Ogbonda, both of whom are better offensive players and I think Ogbonda has better offensive up-side. Ogbonda *might* have developed into a player who could have helped not only this year but next. But now, I don't see Ogbonda getting the minutes he would have needed to get comfortable. That means that he doesn't only not develop this year, I think he will be less effective if he chooses to stay next season as well. I think we start to see Devoe and Alvarado playing more minutes together as the cup-cake slate winds down. Those two being comfortable with each other is critical for making any hay in the ACC. Going into the season, I thought that Alvarado would be the creator and Devoe would be hunting his shot, but now I wonder if it won't be the other way around. Let Devoe penetrate and let Alvarado spot-up for kick-outs. I want to see Haywood sustain his play for two halves. He could be really good if he sustains the high level of play. Gueye is only faintly reminiscent of the player he was when he got to GT. He is way smoother and has pretty reliable hands right now. If had twenty more pounds on him, he would be a real handful. I expect that Pastner will use the Prarie View game to ready the team for two tough road games at Northwestern and St. Johns. That means we should see the key players playing more minutes together so that they can gel as a unit. [/QUOTE]
