Against better teams Nolley needs to play with more decisiveness


it was painfully obvious against Duke that he wasn't ready to be double teamed.

He's got a great first step on drives to the basket but seems to telegraph going up with the ball, which has led to him being blocked a few times.

then in the high post or drives where he gets cut off by a help defender, he holds onto the ball too long, gets trapped and commits turnovers way too frequently. Needs to immediately move the ball once 2 defenders are committed to him.

he can fill up the bucket but against teams with great defenders its looking more and more like he is going to have trouble getting good shots.

All that being said he's getting his first real action this season and has to step right in as a key contributor, there will be growing pains as he acclimates to the level of defense played by our ACC opponents.
