[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 1007186, member: 4110"] It doesn't really matter, but my view of Gapare's game is that he liked to do two things: Get out in transition and go end to end and, second, to spot up for three, which he hit an an alarmingly poor percentage. I think Gapare played like he preferred to be a guard. He did not like playing through contact, To his credit, he started later int he season to try to play defense and he was able to block shots, particularly perimeter jump shooters on close-outs, where we typically don't see a lot of blocked shots. He wasn't a weak side defender. Even though Stoudamire said he wasn't afraid to put Gapare on guards on the perimeter, in reality, Gapare had trouble containing ACC level guards off the dribble (no surprise for a 6'9" player). And while Gapare did start to show some competitiveness on the boards by the end of the season, he is very slight and is not a natural post defender. Although Gparare improved to the point where the team looked better with him on the court rather than, say, Claude, his production was well below that of an even average ACC player. Even with his improvement he was still playing like a jumbo wing/combo forward (which is what I think Sutton will be) and that his feel for the game was still way below average for an ACC player. And feel for the game is exactly why I like Sutton so much as a recruit. [/QUOTE]
