Carvers role is going to be the same next year. Growth in offense will have to come with more interior scoring from Kalu/Dickens, Green emerging, and better shooting from Oliver/Godwin.

Carver (like Taylor) at the top of the key doesn't mean he has to be a threat to shoot. Its to get curls at the elbow from others or if the defense falls asleep, a backdoor to the center. Taylor was much better in this respect than Carver.

The reason the offense played badly had more to do with Stith/Green/Kithcart missing good looks than Carver being on the court.

Last night they slumped 10-12 feet off of Carver and dropped into the middle. There was nowhere to pass the ball to except back out to another guard. Great coaching move on Purdue’s part. Yet we never changed just had him catch the ball 20 feet out, hold it over his head, look inside, then give it back to Caver or someone else. Trying the same thing all day when it’s not there I sure don’t get. Great move Purdue. Dumb ODU.
