[QUOTE="drew306, post: 1177883, member: 541128"] None of this was particularly relevant tonight with the outcome a forgone conclusion, but a couple things I noticed: Our guards don't turn it over, but they don't pass well at all. Lewis is an average scoring threat for a point guard (at best, and obviously Tate is no threat whatsoever), but neither can pass worth a lick. I honestly thought Tate would develop into a solid PG for us, but sure seems like he has taken a step back. It could just as easily be the fact that they barely have anyone to pass to, but I can't recall one play today where I said to myself "nice pass" except one or two by Malcolm. Mav and Finke need to go up stronger. I know Mav drew a ton of fouls today, which is definitely a step in the right direction, but they are both so tentative around the hoop. Aaron Jordan and DJ Williams have a LONG way between where they are at now and being solid Big Ten players. Michigan State can legitimately go 11-12 deep when healthy; talk about the polar opposite of where we are at... [/QUOTE]
