Doesn't matter who it is, but it's time for some of these other guys to step up. TJD was occupying 3 defenders yesterday, it didn't have to be 3s, but there were open shots and driving lanes and everyone not named Trayce or Miller just sucked and laid an egg yesterday. I said earlier when we were all talking about how great it was to have XJ and JHS that a 3rd PG who could shoot would have been a nice add on this team (think a Nick Zeisloft clone could help this team?). Unfortunate for Leal, because yesterday would have been a great opportunity to show if he's ever going to be able to contribute on the floor. Any of XJ, TB, TG, JG or RT had a huge opportunity to step up and help their team yesterday and they all were no-shows. I'm not sure why CMW didn't stick with giving Gunn an opportunity yesterday; Rutgers got a huge contribution from a lesser rated freshman. CMW could've/should've challenged Gunn by putting him on Simpson and saying "show me what you got!", but as bad as the other players were, it was also a bad outing for CMW. Miller at the 4 would have been fine to try yesterday, but that still means we needed someone else out of the guys I listed to step up and make shots. Just a really bad showing. Now we get to see if this year's team really is different!
Every team is going to have a bad outing. It makes you question this team that it was yesterday vs Rutgers, but I still believe in this team and our Coach. We are 1 game removed from the high everyone was feeling after UNC (well, maybe your's wasn't from UNC!). Let's see how they respond.
