[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1583193, member: 623415"] I’m not going to in depth on my thoughts on Curbelo here as I’ve posted them in the past. One thing I will say is that I don’t think TO/A ratio tells the whole story with AC. He does have a number of plays that though they don’t end in a TO for him do result in a poor possession for the team. I know a lot of people don’t like Dakich, but he was commenting on AC’s poor decision making for a stretch in 2nd half, and I think he was right. But all that said, there is no arguing with the fact he has some very special skills and makes some great plays. It is the classic have to take the good with the bad, and for the most part he has been a net positive and a big part of the team’s success thus far. Thing is I have a sneaking suspicion that we’ll continue to see the “bad Belo” beyond this year. Experience will help, but it is just the way he plays. My hope is that he gets stronger next year so that more of his forays into the paint that now result in a “poor possession” move to the good possession side of the ledger. That for me is the next step in his evolution. If that happens, look out. Until then I’m sure I’ll continue to find myself yelling at him through the TV screen — sometimes for bad decision making and sometimes for another of his great plays. [/QUOTE]
