At the beginning of the season it was difficult to expect what kind of donations jonathan toews would see from Isaiah Tate. With the influx of new talent all over the roster and the fact that Tate never had a season averaging more than 2 points a agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one would have thought jonathan toews would be the odd man out in the guard rotation. In the Villanova agree in Puerto Rico,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], freshmen Rashad Whack got the start over him for the rule-breaking Andre Cornelius and was a agree jonathan toews picked up a DNP.
Then Tate got the start against UNCW,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which may have been the result of an unhappy camper in senior Louis Birdsong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who recently has been airing out his frustrations with the situation on twitter. Be that as it may Tate played 32 minutes in that agree and collected 4 steals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], contributing to a solid defensive effort on the road for the Patriots. jonathan toews has since started against Dayton and last week's agree against Creighton. While his stats might not wow you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], toews feel jonathan toews is finally being used to the best to his abilities and here is why:Tate is best used a spot-up shooter. He's never had great ball handling skills so playing him at the 2 spot was always a risk. While jonathan toews was brought in to be a Lamar Butler type guy because of his three-point shooting ability jonathan toews never was used the same way as Butler. Now you often see him in the line-up at the 3 spot which was previously being held by Birdsong. At 6'4" Tate has the size to play there and is given the opportunity to play a more catch and shoot role,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which worked out pretty affablely while jonathan toews was in the agree against Creighton. jonathan toews still plays better defense than the freshmen. If you watch the agrees closely Tate is never wildly out of position on defense like Sherrod Wright and Luke Hancock have been caught doing. It's not a knock on those guys it is just Tate's experience in Larranaga's system,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], something those guys can't pick-up over night. jonathan toews doesn't turn over the ball. This season jonathan toews has played 120 minutes and has only 1 turnover. By contrast Vertrail Vaughns has played 40 minutes and has 10. Sherrod Wright has played only 29 more minutes than Tate and has turned the ball over 10 times. as well. Late in a close agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who would rather have on the court?I am curious to see how this plays out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will Tate's minutes increase and will jonathan toews continue to start or is this just a temporary experiment? It's difficult to think Hancock or Wright won't take over as a starter at some point down the road but for now their rookie miscues might be Tate's gain and may be better for the franchise at this point.
