After watching the game against Temple I have more reservations about the Posh Curbelo tandem then even before. On the positive, both serve as a disruptive defensive force that at times gave the Temple guards fits and certainly disrupted their offense.
The issue is on the offensive side of the ball. With the limited scoring and shooting efficiency of the team in general, and the need for a shooter to step up, it has become quite apparent that Posh is no shooting guard and Curbello at best is an inconsistent point guard. It seems that Curbello is handling the playmaking duties for the majority of the time and Posh looks very uncomfortable in his role, whatever that is?
I think this set up will become more glaring as the competition improves and the team is not able to score as much off the defense. I believe the dilemma for the staff will be, does the defensive positives that the tandem bring to the court outweigh the offensive deficiencies that have been quite apparent? I guess it may be a game to game decision.
