Craig Sword

should never take a shot outside of 10 ft until he learns to shoot. It seems like 1/2 his shots outside of that range don't even draw iron. Ray is trying to run the offense thru Ware, but until he has some help down low and someone can hit consistently from outside, he's gonna struggle. And Sword really shouldn't be a 2nd option. I know he had a bad game, but 2 boards, 0 assists, and 3 TOs aren't enough to offset his lack of offense.

If he had ANY semblance of a jump shot he would be so effective, because he drives to the bucket so well. You can't be one dimensional like that. It kills us.

Chicken and FTF need to travel somewhere and work with one of those shooting gurus this summer. Chicken just looks like he needs some work on his mechanics to at least be a small threat from 15 feet in, which would go a long way.

Sword's got one of the sickest layups of all-time and he should ALWAYS got inside if he can. Unfortunately he has no one around him to be able to do this. He reminds me of Tyreke Evans. Obviously he's not a lottery pick, but he's got a similar style of play. He's hard to defend 1-on-1 and he can drive on almost anyone, but he's getting some bad advice from his AAU coach or whoever because he doesn't seem to realize this. If he was able to come off the bench like Reke he's be an all-star.

When he gets some pieces around him he'll be a mean *** inside presence. Just like Ware, he'll be an all-conference caliber player... with Ware a defensive game at the 4. He sucks at the 5, and I can't be mad at him for that.
