My view:
I went to the game on Saturday. I don't think the team chemistry is there to be honest. In my opinion, Trae has a solid basketball IQ and vision, but the game he's used to playing doesn't translate as easy to higher levels of sports and I think his attitude is hurting his production. He has the ability to push inside and drive, but can't seem to finish around the basket. He has the handles to be able to draw a defender or two, but he's gotta be unselfish and give that ball to the open man. I think he could destroy a good zone defense if he's got the right attitude and plays his role on the team. Lofton has gotta carry the team on his back at times and has gotta know he's the team captain. Jones/Bennett/Rutherford have got to be more aggressive and stop playing so close under the basket. Those rebounds pop out and they're too far inside to grab the rebound. I like McCloud's aggressiveness and unselfishness from what I've seen... I don't see him drawing attention to himself, so I consider him a good role player. Robinson/Scott are feast or famine -- either they're on fire or they're not hitting anything. Selfishness also a detriment to them. Everyone else either isn't playing enough consistent minutes or is playing their role (ie:Bynum).
Sidenote:
The student's were there, and I saw a few glimpses of energy at the very end, but overall it was a very very tame crowd. I hate it when it's so quiet I can hear the gym lights buzzing. Hopefully it was the result of a Saturday game during the week the NFL is in town for the Super Bowl, but I sure hope it's not the new normal.
