[QUOTE="HTT, post: 1348107, member: 558328"] I think Alstork shares some similar merits and weakness with Ray Rice. They are both very good if you give them license to play one on one basketball or attack off the screen. But they don't usually see open teammates well in that process (is it because the school they played in has no other offense threat?). Also they do not move well when other players are dominating the offense (I remembered Rice struggling after Hill became the best player on that team, and we were better team without Rice). Rice smashed potato teams well because he can beat anyone on those team by one on one play. Alstork might just be as good against Southern/UTM if BU allowed him to play one on one basketball. But heading to B1G games they will struggle because almost every conference team has the wings that can handle Rice/Alstork one-on-one well enough. For this reason, I am all for BU forces Alstork to learn to be be efficient even if not being the 1st choice on offense. If MA cannot learn it well heading to the conference game, his starting role will be handed to AJ or KN. [/QUOTE]
