[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1579069, member: 623415"] I think the thing he really needs to work on is as you say taking the ball in to deep without a plan. Yes, sometimes he makes a highlight reel pass or shot, but more often he puts up a shot he can’t make among the trees or has to leave his feet and pray. Those bad shots are the same as a turnover. He also needs to know what his teammates are capable of in certain spots. If he gets the ball to a player in a spot from which he’s not capable of making a play and that player turns it over, some of the blame is on Curbelo too. But as you said, he seems to be making some adjustments, and hopefully time and experience will get him to where we need him to be. He also needs to work on not making silly fouls. With Ayo and Trent to handle the ball too this year, him having to go to the bench hasn’t hurt the team too much. But next year with Ayo and possibly Trent gone, he needs to stay on the court.
