Over at Slam Magazine, one of their writers lists his top-10 which is, well, interesting. He has Pitt at #8

I’ve yet to be proven wrong about the Aaron Gray Actually Sucks Theorem. This should be a tee-shirt.

Some quality wins against Syracuse and South Florida, but I really don’t see it with this team. Uconn and Marquette should do nature’s work with them in the next couple of weeks so we can slide Butler in here some place.

I know that I really enjoy reading and listening to commentary were clueless “edginess” is substituted for thought.

Here’s an AP article on Aaron Gray’s slump.

“I think he’s happy that we’re winning, but we do need to get him more touches,” point guard Levance Fields said. “People are keying on him, and a couple of times we missed him (when he was open), but guys are making shots, making plays.”

…

Not that Pitt wants to go much longer with Gray being more of a spectator than a participant in their offense.

After the DePaul game, Pitt returns home to play Georgetown and 7-2 center Roy Hibbert and No. 24 Connecticut and 7-3 Hasheem Thabeet in a four-day span, and Gray will need to be at his best

“I don’t think he’ll get frustrated. I haven’t seen it, and I don’t think he’s forced up bad shots at all,” Dixon said. “That would be a reflection of frustration. He’s continued to pass the ball regularly. I think he’s handled it well.”

I’d like to see a little frustration. Or at least a little more push to get to the hoop. Still, the good part is that the team is playing with confidence and the knowledge that they can win games even when Gray is being contained.
