[QUOTE="coachingillini, post: 1511593, member: 8022"] Giorgi is actually playing to his high school recruiting evaluation. Which really wasn't very good. From what I can remember he only averaged 8pts per game while playing the 4. We quickly realized he had pretty good foot work and was able out maneuver most opponents in the low post. We had no one else to play the 5 so he got the opportunity to shine. He did! And most importantly we put the ball in his hands where he could succeed. Unfortunately playing around the perimeter and shooting 3's is not his game. In fact he probably is not P-5 player right now if that's where Underwood continues to play him. Is Giorgi a better fit to start over Kofi at the 5? I think so. Then who starts at the 4? Kipper? I'm fine with that as long as Underwood stays off his A@@ and let's him do what he's capable of. Not sure if Underwood could ever do that. I still believe that Kipper could put up similar numbers that Black had his last year here. [/QUOTE]
