[QUOTE="Jacketman99, post: 841473, member: 5163"] I am not as down as some may be about the Lamar game. Pastner is clearly still trying a few things out. He did not coach that game like he will coach against UGA or some of our upcoming opponents. He appeared to want to let guys work through a few thing and even the situation of having a team come back on you. I think he knew he could have switched to zone earlier but we need the practice on m2m. I am a little more concerned about defense so far than offense with this team. This team has a lot of good pieces but it is going to take a while for it to gel and Pastner has to figure out the right combinations. Those combinations may change depending on your opponent. When discussing the young guys, we have to remember that they are just that. They will get better with experience. Go back and look at tape of Moses and Jose as freshmen or sophomores. They did not come to Tech as great defensive players but worked their tails off to become that as upperclassmen. Smith and Kelly have all the physical tools to be great defenders. Technique and experience will be key for them. I really want Smith to develop a consistent jumper. That would open up his game a great deal if teams had to respect that portion of his game. Of the freshmen, I think everyone agrees that Coleman is the most ready to play and will get a ton of playing time. However, I am hoping we get Kelly and Moore some time as well so they can continue to get better and develop. [/QUOTE]
