Why?....WHY?.... WHY!!!??? why must the Clemson Men's basketball team always have to look like a bunch of Gimps when they play on TV? Its like they will play like they have a clue for 3 minutes, then suddenly, they cant even dribble the ball without dribbling it off their own feet. Or tripping up while running down the court. Im serious here. They actually will dribble the ball off their feet. No, I mean, they really do this. Not once every 4 or 5 games...BUT EVERY GAME!!!!! ...I see viable talent here. Ford is a growing talent, Robinson is servicable at guard, Akingbala has shown flashes of potential, Babalola has tools to get to the basket, and Lamar Rice is a baller, even if he is clueless. But what they hell happen to Christie? He has this "Deer in the headlights" look about him. No doubt he is the most talented player on the team, but he just seems to wander about, afraid to make a mistake. and Vernon Hamilton has that " I was awesome in High School but now everyone is as good as me so I am intimidated" look about him. Hobbs...well, I really cant slam him. He obviously would be better suited for football, but he gave 100 percent most of the time, so I really cant fault him for that. If Purnell can somehow get the turnover thing eliminated, maybe the Gimp factor will go away. but now, they are painful to watch on TV, because you just know the other shoe is about to drop, at any moment. Reminds me of Clemson Football several years ago, before Tommey Bowden came in and changed the culture of the team...
