[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 404615, member: 2458"] I have to agree with Red on this one. Defenses are daring Wright to shoot from outside right now (I would too if I were them)... and he's taking the bait/shots way too easily. I have no problem if the shot clock is down to 5 or less and he's got it. Of the three's he shot last night, the only one I thought he should have shot was one in the first half where someone penetrated under basket and kicked to him in the corner ... wide open and in the flow of the offense -anyone on the team should have shot that one. His strength on offense (at this stage) is crashing the offensive boards and driving to the basket (even though he missed some, he made strong aggressive moves to basket which you want. Defenses are playing him more honest than they did AD when he was playing out there, but still they want him to shoot .... 2 for 27 is the only number you need to know. CJP says he can make that shot, and hopefully will work hard on it over offseason and shoot 30 percent+ next year. Against UVA and again last night he made some good decisions to drive to basket on baseline. He does some things good already - moves well without ball in particular which is hard to team. Decision making as pace of play speeds up (as it did last night) is concern for him and Cole ... and to degree all our guards that we have left. Defensively, he does got to the boards to rebound, and runs floor great ... but loses man on defense (not unusual for freshman) and does not block out very well and struggles guarding players quicker than him (never had to before this year probably) ... His man got several offennsive rebounds last night because he just went to board and State player (Dorn, Abu) went around him ... got him yanked once. By comparison, I commented to wife on a play Lammers made in second half .... we site behind visitor bench ... Yurtseven shot from corner, missed, and Lammers blocked him out 10-12 feet from basket and got the rebound. I think Wright has more upside potential than Cole does long term, but Cole is more ready right now - neither should be playing 20+ minutes in ACC game this year ... but CJP made it clear he was not expecting big things from either until their Junior year ... I do see effort and improvement. [/QUOTE]
