displayed the necessary energy, but his intensity seems to have increased. Last year, and even through early this season, I thought of him as a role player, and more of a complementary player than a starting ACC guard. And while I don't see him as being among the elite, particularly after last night, he absolutely has stepped up. His shot selection is better, he is scoring more and hitting key 3 pointers. He is not dribbling into the lane and losing the ball or making the bad pass as much. He pushes the ball up, but not to the point of wasting a possession. His intensity when hustling back on defense or getting in the face of the guy he is guarding make a real difference. He even seems to be more of a leader each game, judging by how he interacts with the other players in various situations.

Anyway, in the last few games it looks like he reached another level. With Woldentensae starting to find his shot, and the hope that Morsell finds his, TB may be getting the team to peak at the right time.
