[QUOTE="Illini in OC, post: 1570641, member: 645389"] Agree. In HS, players like Adam are just so much better than everyone else and can always find another way to score... and maintain their swagger. If the 3's aren't falling, just go to the hole against an overmatched defender... which, of course, builds confidence to hit 3's. Rinse and repeat.. Given that Ayo is such a force and the offense is oriented around his abilities, Adam is naturally relegated to a subordinate role where his ability to "take over" is limited. I have no doubt BU has many options up his sleeve to help Adam to find his groove within the team dynamic. On the other hand, Curbelo is such a unique player - and highly focused on distributing vs doing it himself - that it makes it easier for him and much more natural to find his place. Athletes at this level are incredibly competitive *AND* are used to being the acknowledged alpha. It would no surprise to me to discover that watching Curbelo's progress is making Adam press even more. Just keep grinding Adam. It's in there. You are a stud. You'll find your rightful, high-production, place soon enough. [/QUOTE]
