[QUOTE="oldman, post: 1698861, member: 621474"] Curbelo's importance was highlighted by our performance when Frazier was on the bench. Not to disparage others on the team, their skill sets are not point guard skills. More than that, we forget how Frazier's offense improved in prior years when he was relieved of point guard responsibilities. Last night every time Frazier brought the ball up he had to work to get to half court because of full court pressure placed on him. There was no real attempt to steal the ball from him, clearly the intent was to make him work and tire him in order to impact the rest of his play. If Curbelo relieves him of that point guard pressure for even 15-20 minutes the rest of Frazier's game will be significantly improved. Don't get me wrong. His play has been spectacular to this point. He will be better when he doesn't have to play point guard 36 minutes a game. [/QUOTE]
