[QUOTE="ChicagoFightingIllini, post: 1267516, member: 617409"] I think Tracy would play a lot less. He is a ball stopper. He does nothing quickly when he gets the ball, he just catches and holds. Just a simple action like quickly swinging the ball would at least make the defense rotate and allow the person getting the ball to attack the paint. This is how the dribble drive works. Get a simple wing entry and an action to allow the ball handler to attack the paint. Instead he catches and allows the defense to reset. His offensive game seems to lack urgency. Unfortunately, the Illini lack the ball handling ability to get the ball into the paint without turning it over. Malcolm's game is more geared toward being a second or third option and he kills ball movement as well. His game is similar to NBA players in the early 2000's (Kobe, McGrady, Melo) and the game just isn't played that way anymore. [/QUOTE]
