Wow, great article. This is what a sports writer should do. Amazing that none of the BOYS in her field is capable of doing any real analysis like this. They should all feel humiliated by this. As of course should Tubby. Trevor went 3 full games getting about 15 percent of the Gophers non-Andre touches and only about 1/3 of those in or near the paint. Say what you want about Ralph Sampson III, he got the ball to Trevor in the paint more than this year's group combined.
And as the article clearly implies, I guess we need to get EE back in the lineup in place of either Rodney or JC.
I love Trevor, but he needs to do a better job of using his quickness to beat his man to a spot on the floor deep in the paint and then quickly do something with it when he catches it. He will at least draw a lot of fouls that way. As an undersized center, he needs to use his quickness to make up for his lack of size. Likewise, his teammates will need to hit him with quick passes when he's open. The most successful utilization of him is not going to be of the garden variety posting up, per se.
As we saw last game too, also needs to work on passing out of double teams.
...but quickly and decisively ...
Too bad she didn't do Tubby's homework about a month ago. This is exactly what Tubby's assistants should be doing instead of getting DUI's.
