[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 204083, member: 2299"] Depth of individual talent? I'm not seeing it. Hunt is a great player who would be a key starter for most ACC teams and Smith/Mitchell/Jacobs would be solid role players but after that I don't see anyone else getting much burn for a contending team. I don't see how this team has more depth or talent than the 13-14 squad with Golden/Holsey/Miller/Carter/Hunt. And compounding the issue is the obvious lack of ACC level talent at the point guard position as well as the transient nature of our team that has us in a perpetual state of lacking team cohesion normally gained from years of playing together. UVA is currently 3-3 in ACC play and lost to VT and FSU as well as GW early in the year with the common denominator being all games on the road. I'd agree that cuse wasn't playing like a top 25 team then but I find it hard to argue that UVA is playing like a top 25 team now, especially on the road. Also, in 13-14, I believe Cuse was a 3 seed that year and lost in the second, technically third, round game. Maybe I'm looking at something wrong. I've watched about as much as previous years. Very little OOC outside of the more interesting games, and catching various amounts of the ACC games. Usually most of the second half and sometimes parts of the first. Today's game? Jorgenson and Heath played far too much. We need to gamble on having Smith and Hunt able to handle the point guard duties for good portions of the game. Simply put Smith and Heath/Jorgy just don't bring enough pressure to opposing guards nor play making ability for the rest of the team to have those two combining for 38 minutes. Having Hunt and Smith slide up a spot would allow us to play Stephens more giving us a greater chance that either he or Smith goes off, which we really need to be able to win games. It's a gamble because if the shots aren't falling then we likely lose by an even greater amount because of worse ball handling but losing by 14 instead of 4 isn't really that big of a deal. Otherwise the thing that needs to be done for the long term good of the program, and should have been done last year, is getting Lammers more experience by playing him more and guys like cox/sampson/white less.
