[QUOTE="Rad, post: 1570647, member: 518616"] CURBELO is changing this team in so many ways. His ability and style of play is obviously making others better by giving them more scoring opportunities but he is making everyone more active to get/be open because he may very well get them the ball. This is only going to continue and the passing and cutting becomes contagious and "taught" by watching and seeing what he does (not going down the Larry Bird comparisons but Bird and Magic taught people a lot about passing). He is really pushing Trent to do more and to his credit he is trying to make more happen with the ball and not seeing a big jump in his turnovers. Last year Trent was very content to always slow the ball down so not to make a turnover but this put more pressure on Ayo and Kofi to create their own points. Curbelo is quickly making his team impact much like Deron did in HS, college and NBA. He is small but plays bigger due to his anticipation, athleticism and competitive nature. I think we saw last night that Underwood is all in with playing Curbelo. He made a few careless plays in a short period the second half and didn't look like we even considered substituting. Once Miller and Trent start shooting like we know they can we are going to be tough to stop! [/QUOTE]
