[QUOTE="CurbeloYourEnthusiasm, post: 1560196, member: 747729"] I wasn’t that disappointed by this game. Baylor is a FF team. They remind me of some of the great Villanova teams of the recent past. Great athletes, strong and quick. I think we got a bit overwhelmed by their athleticism. As for us, I think Curbelo needs to be the PG full time with Ayo off the ball. Whether that means less minutes for DMW/Frazier, so be it. Curbelo gives the offense a special playmaker we don’t otherwise have. It’ll make us less stagnant. The weave to nowhere and Ayo iso’ing for a mid range jumper isn’t effective offense. Curbelo getting everyone involved will make us better IMO. Hawkins flashed some nice things too. Giorgi was great. Giorgi is so skilled in the post, and as a passer I think you need him in there more. Negatives would be Kofi’s lack of development. I don’t see any post moves from him. He looks same as last year. I won’t blame him not being able to guard PnR bc very few guys his size can do it. We really need to play zone when Kofi is in. Keep Kofi in the paint. I think one of our issues is we got 4 really good players (Giorgi, Kofi, Ayo, Curbelo) but they overlap. It’s hard to play all 4 of them at the same time. Giorgi/Kofi are 5s, and Ayo/Curbelo both are used to having the ball. [/QUOTE]
