I still think we are deep, Snyder is out~remember that. Just our players aren' getting playing time. I think each bench player gives us somthing great, eahc has downsides but thats why they are bench players and not starters V-Span great feeder to Yao, best on team, also has quickness. He turns the ball over though Head - great 3 point threat, speed, and defense. Lacks ball handling skills~ loses control to often, also tends to rush in certain situations, very clutch though Bonzi - Great rebounder, nice post ups. Lacks speed and hasn;t gotten enough spring in his legs to bruise inside Juwan - Has been rebounding, and shooting OK. Very slow and sucks at defense Lucas - Sparkplug, great driver. Sucks at shooting Novak - Great shooter, ok rebounder, lacks movability and defense Padgett - Sucks period Snyder - Great driver, athletic, ok defense. His outside shot doesn't go down and can be careless. I can go on and on for each person. I think we have a really nice bench we just need to find the right recipe and how each player can complement the other. Each provides somthing really great but has his major weaknesses. I think we have a deep team
So we got an extra player in Lucas on the court tonight... did it help to even out the team for the win? Though I haven't seen the game (I was in Lexington watching UK win) it seems like JVG spread the court time out pretty evenly, whether that was because of fouls or not I don't know. Juwan and Bonzi both stepped up big, but still we really only added one player to the rotation. (and you can complain about Chuck all you want two sandwiches, he never expected to start, no one else really expected him to start, but one thing you can expect is that he's going to give his all every time you put him on the court... that's why I'm a Hayes fan)
