| good analysis but both coach and austin himself say his natural position is at the point, not on the wing as a small forward.
i was looking for a backup to the point since collins is very weak on ball handling and very slow on the dribble drive, something he almost never even attempted and as a result must play spot minutes only. watters showed a few flashes, but we need help in the backcourt, particularly with a jboyd guy who can rain in those treys.
i look for tobias to get much tougher next year and contribute more. but we still need to locate a quality big man at least 6-6 with some beef. kraus and jahn won't scare many foes to be sure.
it's very rare to get a major contribution out of a freshman--though larry did not disappoint--so that's why we need either a couple of juco studs or another DI bounceback. though angelo never lived up to his hype. we need another solid mike ridgway guy--smart, tough, good shooting touch from the field and line.
i remember coach k. crying he was thin about six years ago and i said, hey coach, some DI guy might call looking for minutes.
the next day the call came in from the ridgway family, and later in that season we had won our first west regional ever in hawaii.
keep the phone on the hook, coach k. |
