His shooting percentage is atrocious for a starting player, which is

compounded by the ridiculously high number of minutes he plays. The simple fact is that NA should be a back-up, playing 10-15 mins per game. He should not be a starter racking up 35 mins per game. We would be better for it if CMY sat him on the bench and started Maddox.

It's crazy how far off this team has performed vs preseason expectations -- Foxhall Hokie 01/28/2022 12:50PM

He just may need more of his recruits in the system. That may mean at some -- IB4TECH 01/28/2022 3:26PM

Player retention has been an issue for Young at VT. -- NC Hoke 01/28/2022 5:05PM

That’s true but not sure how much leaving was due to MY. If I see -- IB4TECH 01/28/2022 5:30PM

The way I look at it is as roster management part of coaching. -- NC Hoke 01/28/2022 6:07PM

Agree, but with one exception -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:14PM

Agree, I’m just counting heads. -- NC Hoke 01/28/2022 6:21PM

NA is one of his recruits. There is no one left that he didn't pick. ** -- IronBlood 01/28/2022 4:01PM

And NA is averaging 10.5 points per game and is on pace to have his highest -- HokieAl 01/28/2022 4:21PM

On pace for highest scoring season? do you mean total points? -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 5:51PM

Yes total points. If he maintains his avg, he should beat his freshman 281 ** -- HokieAl 01/28/2022 5:54PM

Totals are about the most meaningless stat available ** -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:01PM

I admire how you left out all his god awful stats. -- VT ChemE 1986 01/28/2022 5:17PM

Such as? If you are going to mention other stats then provide them -- HokieAl 01/28/2022 5:20PM

Since Dec 1st... -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:00PM

His shooting percentage is atrocious for a starting player, which is -- VT ChemE 1986 01/28/2022 5:27PM

All correct ** -- DCL 01/28/2022 9:36PM

You have to dig into the why. He shoots more 3's than 2's -- HokieAl 01/28/2022 5:52PM

Lol, you compared Alleyne to 3 other players -- King of Hokies 01/29/2022 10:34AM

It's interesting that you have now chosen to compare him to -- IronBlood 01/28/2022 6:27PM

As for the negative attention, people rightly see him as a critical part -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:06PM

I would like NA a lot better if he came off the bench -- VT ChemE 1986 01/28/2022 6:05PM

Except he shoots worse for 2 than he does from 3 ** -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:00PM

Because he has no handle and cant get to the rim, settles for off balance -- catdaddy 01/28/2022 10:57PM

35% FG is awful. If he was averaging 22 minutes per game, it would hurt -- IronBlood 01/28/2022 4:35PM

Well, let's be honest. He had to grab what he could work with. -- UEMcGill 01/28/2022 4:10PM

Watching this team this year makes me feel like -- VTCALS72 01/28/2022 3:21PM

We weren't that much better last year -- Vippie1 01/28/2022 4:02PM

We played a very weak conference schedule last year ** -- 133743Hokie 01/28/2022 8:21PM

True. Plus we lost 4 of our last 6, including to a 6-10 Pitt team. -- Maroon Effect 01/28/2022 3:28PM

They say he's a "system coach." Systems get figured out and can be overcome -- Maroon Effect 01/28/2022 3:10PM

Systems are great for amplifying innate talent & developed skills -- ShockWaveVT 01/28/2022 6:08PM

Doubt he has many options. ** -- BioVTjunkie 01/28/2022 2:11PM

Yeah, but at least Tech is the best last place team in D-1 basketball. ;) ** -- Old Line Hokie 01/28/2022 1:59PM

It does kinda feel that way, though -- Zanderhokie 01/28/2022 5:30PM

I think he’s been tinkering a plenty -- VBpescador 01/28/2022 1:53PM

CMY is either very wise, or very stubborn -- VT ChemE 1986 01/28/2022 1:18PM
