McRae needs to step up/ has to step up

I'm not usually critical of college players because they're not paid for what they do, but McRae has to learn that when his o is off he can still help the team. I thought he played poor defense on Saturday and he goes through the routine to much on o. Lazy passes come from him every game and it's not getting better. I know this team would be 11-16 without him but he's a senior and he should play hard every second he's out there, not just when his o is rolling! If McRae played as hard as Richardson every game he'd be all American not just all sec. It also helps prove Martin is not a motivator to go along with his other coaching deficiencies. We deserve better as fans. VFL, GBO

Agree to a certain extent but only in that he should feel the need himself to do the things you're saying. What other motivation does he need other than the reality that he's hurting his own draft stock by being lackadaisical in his approach to his game? The NBA passes on that nonsense. But he's hardly the problem anyway. Half the roster cant find a way to put the ball in the hole. They have a 6'10 275lb guy obviously for intimidation purposes. He LOOKS intimidating getting off the bus I guess. I'm guessing he's just a serious liability on the floor and that's why he doesn't play much. But my next question would be, of the 8 billion or so people in the world, you couldn't have found a guy that could manage maybe 6pts and at a height like that, maybe 6-7 rpg? Really? If he's a walking foul waiting to happen or has hands of stone didn't you see that while 'evaluating him'? The countdown for Cuonzo is about 5 games and a wakeup.

mcrae's man D, help D and boxing out has been below average the last few weeks, and his body language has sucked. Takes a quick glance to figure it out.

Yes it has. And it seems like the team follows his lead. When his defense sucks, it affects everyone's defensive effort. It has been awful for a month.

Gotta admit that I probably owe Trae Golden an apology. Because for the last couple of years I thought he was the lone culprit in the lazy defense and bad body language. But the last couple of weeks make me think J Mac still has some mental maturing to do too.

Sorry Trae it wasn't just you.

it has become apparent that the lack of coaching and solid communication between players and their coach has affected several players, including trae, mcrae, barton and DT. They have gotten worse as they should be peaking. Trae was benched, Barton benched, and DT has been on the bench in 2nd halves, just chock full of confidence, energy and enthusiasm. Just like his coach.

Takes only a quick glance to see that McRae and the entire
team is so frustrated in trying to score without having an offensive system. This team is only good when shots are falling without running any offense. Coaching is the problem with this team, not McRae or any other player.

The ability to get in a players face and motivate when it is needed is as big an issue for CCM as his x's and O's. IMO
