[quote="Class of 72" post=372772][quote="Beast of the East" post=372713]He relies too much on the 3 ball, and honestly I don't think he is a deadeye shooter. He also doesn't have a great handle.
So, teams will let him shoot long threes. If he were deadly from out there they'd have to come out to play him, and when they did, if his handle was better, could blow by them for layups. As it is, his moves to the hoop are suspect and he relies too much on that crappy floater.
As the 4th or fifth option he had some amazing putback slams, some garbage points, and some wide open looks when teams collapsed to stop Ponds.[/quote]

You described Figgy perfectly and opponents know his game so not having other legitimate scorers makes it easier to defend against this team as the Friars showed last night even with their pathetic showing. I disagree with coach Anderson in his playing Rutherford and Dunn at the same time and question the non utilization of Steere when Roberts is struggling. He has made some judgment mistakes with his use of players like inserting Heron with under a minute to play. Everyone in the arena knew he would chuck up a shot whether it was good or bad. If anything he should have inserted him with under 4 minutes to get less anxious to make THE play.[/quote]
I agree.
It's silly not to put steere in, everyone seen what the pc bigs did, maybe if steere was in the missed ft putback jam never happens. That must have been a humbling experience for Greg, but what could he do against a bigger, stronger player.
How.about putting steere in coach, what's to lose? After Saturday we'll be 1-5 anyways...if anything it gives him experience.
