[QUOTE="Birdus, post: 1731735, member: 748758"] Unfortunately, that will probably not cease to happen in one form or the other. He plays by instinct much of the time. The question is, does it benefit the team more when he is on the court at that particular time? He is a huge reason why we won the game. My feeling is though, if he would have played more UNDER CONTROL, we could have won more comfortably. As far as the defensive end, no matter what you think, he is a great on ball defender. Much better than Plummer. When he and Trent are out on the court together, it is tougher for the other team to get into their sets at times. So, yes, I agree that there is a probability that he will make some costly mistakes and blunders in the tournament that will hurt us. But overall, he gives the team another dimension that other teams have to account for when he is in the game and gives Trent a blow when needed. He is very valuable if this team is to make a run in the tournament. I would say he could be the difference between a sweet sixteen and final four run. That is my opinion after watching him now for almost 2 years. [/QUOTE]
