and as a result, neither will ever be the type of player their talent would allow. Cummard has tons of heart. I said it two years ago, I said it last year and I'll say it again. Lee Cummard is the key.

JT can truly be a bad player. Seriously bad. That is the most dangerous type of player--a guy that can, when hot, shoot really well but a guy that is a disaster when he is not shooting well. And this year, besides 2 or 3 games, he has been pretty brutal to watch.

I do like Plaisted. He has to become a better foul shooter, but as we all know, he is very athletic and can do some things. I was very impressed with him earlier in the year, not quite as impressed with him lately, but he can still shine. I agree with you on Cummard. If he can stop all of the silly fouls, he is tremendous.

Toughest thing for Cummard is that he has to guard out of position all the time. He wouldn't get so many fouls if he was guarding wings. Guarding JT's guy, when he is in, has killed him...thus Collinsworth starting.

He gets a lot of his fouls due to help defense. Meaning that he is challenging open shots around the basket where the other defender is still out at the 3 point line pulling their shorts up from their ankles.
