[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 130630544, member: 1488840"] You guys have to understand that 5 star kids aren't going to come here and play for Huggins. He takes the "tweeners" like Jones, Sags, McCabe, and Carter and tries to mold them into BETTER basketball players. For the most part, he succeeds. But, there are always going to be the failures. First, kids don't want to come play for a coach that is "defense first". They don't play defense in high school. They don't play it in AAU. It's all playground basketball. We've been wondering for years why Huggins doesn't get that true shooting guard. That's because a true shooting guard doesn't want to work his *** off playing defense. He needs his legs, first and foremost, to be that top-level shooting guard. He won't have that playing for Huggins chasing guys 50 feet every time down the court. So, we get what we get - tweeners. And that's ok as long as they play their role and learn to accept it. Right now, we don't have that Carter or Miles, guys who made plays and made everyone else around them better, on THIS team or that have or are able to step up and take on that role.
