Conveniently left Collins off that list... Dinos looks like an entirely different player this year...
Crawford had a terrible game. Everyone gets that. He's also one of exactly 2 players in the entire ACC averaging 6 or more assists per game so far.
We are a much better team in Manning year 3. That was an awful game from everyone not named John Collins last night. But, there is definitely improvement from Dinos and MW from last year. I'm concerned about Moore's improvement. Crawford will need to adjust his game to be less selfish since we actually have some people who can score this year. Otherwise, John Collins looks like a beast and I understand giving minutes to the upperclassman Wilbekin. When all of your shooters are off, its tough to find any good rotations.
I don't like giving McClinton or TVH any minutes, but Manning must like having some older guys on the floor. We have too many good shooters this year for this to happen too many times. We had open shots, we just missed them. We need Arians and Woods to be on their game shooting open threes. We also can't afford to have JC on the bench, as he's pretty much unstoppable in the paint against this level of competition.
I still don't like Manning's lack of time outs and lack of defensive adjustments, but we really don't have many athletic players on this roster right now. If you ever thought Manning would be leading us to a final four, I'm sorry, but I think he'll get us back to the tournament.
