You say Cross needs more carries, but Cross needs to PROVE he can get more carries. How does he do this? Become more productive when he does get the rock, improve his speed without losing what he is good at (ground and pound) and most of all, improve his field vision! More carries aren't just given, they are earned, and based on last year's performance, the only person who has earned the carries, is Ameer.
With that said, I hope Cross can come out with a much improved game and prove a lot of people wrong, including myself. I bought into all the hype last year, only to be let down. I bought into it once, now its his turn to prove to be that athlete he is or wants to be. The kid will be a monster for us if he can gain some patience and find holes.
