Coleman is still out of control a fair amount when he's driving. He's more likely to turn it over or drive over the baseline and make a pass while jumping out of bounds than score or make a good pass


actually Martin has been much more prone to this than Coleman has been.

Because he's obviously not comfortable at the 3.

Yeah but his game is more suited at the wing rather than PF. I think it's better for him to run with the more experienced players. I'm not sure his game would grow as quickly if he ran with the second team guys.

I do agree with you on Coleman's game. He should be getting more minutes than Martin right now.

I'd imagine it has been that way all season.

I wonder if one of the things slowing martns development into a consistent go-to scorer is that we haven't actually needed him to be one. Last game we had 10 different scorers before we hit 30 points. Job, stringer, hickey, and coleman all have experience being the go-to guy at some point.

That's a lot of people to get through to become the primary offensive weapon. It'll happen in time though.

To be fair, we COULD run a play or two that's designed for him to get a good shot.

Only time I can remember was against Butler...with the game on the line.
