[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1597551, member: 74571"] Absolutely. After a bad TO, Curbelo often does one of two things: (1) the swipe that leads to a foul call; or (2) multiple body bumps which result in a foul call. But none of that diminishes his significant contributions to our team success. And, yes, coaching and more experience will help Curbelo to minimize those types of mistakes moving forward. I also think it's worth considering that part of what makes Curbelo great is the emotion and intensity he brings to the court every single night. Emotion and intensity can easily lead to bad decisions and mental mistakes in the heat of the moment. You can teach Curbelo to channel and control those things better in the future, but I doubt you can ever fully remove that from his game. It's an exciting and invaluable part of his huge potential as a player. [/QUOTE]
