The real test will be the Baylor game. Tough to tell just how good we are until the competition improves. But we certainly look like legit National championship contenders. Deep and talented all across the board. Solid coaching. Great team defense. Superstars to turn to when we need to create a shot. Inside and outside. We can play fast or slow. Also a perfect blend of youth and veteran leadership. Very versatile.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Curbelo's minutes get cut when the games tighten up. He is prone to some silly turnovers, fouls, and defensive breakdowns. That could be a quick 8 point swing against Iowa or MSU and the difference in the game.Curbelo answering the “Who fills the Feliz role?” question.
That's a lot of kool aid..he had 4 TOs today in 20 minutes against a very weak opponent. He also had 4 TOs yesterday in 10 minutes. He has some potential for sure but these teams caused TOs and gave up easy buckets late in a blow out. I think AC himself would evaluate his play with 8 TOs on 30 minutes vs a very weak team as average at best. He can do a lot better and he will need to vs B10 teams, Duke and Baylor if he expects to play much vs those teams and much more intense defense. Let's see what happens then before we make a big deal about how he played and took care of the ball the past 2 games. The NBA assessment is a bit much imo at least for now. I want see him vs a top 50 team and talent first.I'm going to repeat a hot take of mine from earlier this year after watching some Curbelo video.
Curbelo has the longest NBA career of all our potential pros.
This is where I’m at right now too. Future for him is bright, but not ready to declare that the future has arrived based on these two games. He was clearly more talented then the Chicago St., kids and that won’t be true again this year. I’d guess this game marks his season high in points.That's a lot of kool aid..he had 4 TOs today in 20 minutes against a very weak opponent. He also had 4 TOs yesterday in 10 minutes.
