I agree that some of these guys have leveled off. You see some flashes from the three role players you mention and others on the team but nothing compared to Cumberland. Williams quietly had a nice game on Sunday. Quietly besides his dunk LOL. Would love to see him knock down a few threes during this last stretch of games.

The one that is really stepping up and is playing more like we all thought he would be/hitting more shots is Cane. We need him to keep performing. His 3 point % is slowly climbing. I think it's too late to really fix his 3 pt percentage but hopefully he will get to 30% or so. I just hope he continues to score and give us the spark we need off the bench.
Cane can really be the X-factor. When Cumberland is out of the game we are going to need Williams and Cane to be on the court. Any time Cumberland struggles from here on out...we will need to lean on Broome.

Unfortunately for Broome his minutes rely heavily on Cumberland and as a team right now obviously we need Cumberland. When Williams is out...it's not the same thing because Jenifer can play with Cumberland as he is a great outlet for the kick out 3. Williams does not pass the ball so Jenifer is not needed as much when Cumberland is out and it's hard to play Jenifer and Broome together.
