[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1569652, member: 623415"] This regarding Curbelo. He definitely should play “starter” minutes because of his offense, but there is defense to think about as well as rotations throughout the game. BU can see what we do and loves the guy, so if he’s not starting him their are reasons. One way I’d like to see his game expand is getting shooters involved. There are times when he seems to be only thinking drive and dump to Kofi or shoot himself. The results are certainly net positive, but there were at least two times I saw that from the right side he’d start to drive and the guy covering our guy in the corner would slide down to help on Curbelo — leading to TO or bad shot by Curbelo. Once it was Grandison and once Ayo wide open in the corner. Someone in game thread or this thread said the criticism of Curbelo being too ball dominant made no sense because you want your PG with the ball. That is one example of what I mean when I say that he can be too ball dominant. [/QUOTE]
