Turnovers will be his biggest issue...

Doesn't mean he isn't a good passer, its actually *because* hes a good passer. He takes some chances to fit passes into lanes that many wouldn't because he can get it there often. Sometimes he wont. It'll be frustrating for many. But it wont be for a lack of skill or carelessness. When the Golden State Warriors flipped from Marc Jackson to Steve Kerr, Kerry encouraged the ball to move quicker, faster and take more chances. There were a ton of turnovers, but it ultimately made them what they were and kick-started a dynasty. If youre a defender and you have to defend every lane on every possession it is exhausting. You can't be as aggressive as you want so you tend to get pulled tighter to your matchup. This opens driving lanes and makes screens more effective. But if there isn't a threat, then it is harder for the offense even when compared to the occasional turnover

And the sum is as good or greater than the parts. And how soon it happens.

Unlike other schools we have a coach who has proven he can put
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/17/25 12:42 PM ET
Has he really? When has he shown he can put pieces together quickly?
marcbvtgm • 07/17/25 04:54 PM ET
It may not happen quickly, but it will happen**
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/17/25 05:15 PM ET
So your answer is "he hasn't shown it". Well, he had better.
marcbvtgm • 07/18/25 11:34 AM ET
You'd think the home crowd would be better. Hokie fans will rock his world.**

Shooting percentages give me a little bit of concern
