What do you even make of this guy? Clearly he’s an example of one of these highly touted high school/AAU players who actually can’t think the game at all.

Who remembers the sequence last night when Pitt got it to 1 and he didn’t even jump for a rebound that NC State grabbed and turned into a 3-point play to stretch the lead. He has the size and ability to rebound but he clearly doesn’t know how which is baffling.

I can’t remember a player who I have disliked watching more than Corhen — and I am only thinking of talented players, not the Terrell Brown or someone who clearly wasn’t playing at his level.
 
He can dazzle you on certain screen and roll lobs and also occasionally hit a nice jumper. But then he disappears for long stretches and can't rebound for squat. His hands are bricks and it seems his effort comes and goes.

His biggest issues is low basketball IQ and has no hands at all. How many times have we seen him mishandle a pass or just have the ball stripped from his hands. His inability to position himself for rebounds and/or foul late in the shot clock is beyond frustrating. Also, he seems lost on defensive rotations, etc.... and gives up way too many layups.

This may be more of a criticism on coaching than on Corhen. Why don't the coaches work on these issues with him... I've seen no improvement all year which may be most frustrating... :(

He's the lowest IQ player I can recall at Pitt on top of not being a very good basketball player. And it would be an interesting study to see who acts more incredulous and bewildered after every foul call made against them on obvious violations. Him or Guillermo?

I'm over the verge of insanity, many of us are. I've convinced myself I'd rather watch Kareem Coulibaly achieve his limited ceiling than watch Cam do whatever it is he's doing. We're missing the post season either way.

He is the single biggest reason why we are where we are. He had 4 rebounds last night in 32 minutes. 4. Styles had 13.

I have never wished a player leave as much as I hope Corhen hits the portal. There is 0 chance he can play starters' minutes on a winning team unless that team has elite talent. He's a 0 as a rebounder and rim protector. As a straight-up defender, he's below average but not as bad as people make it seem.

Capel's decision to move on from Fede to bring in offense with Corhen cost this team the NCAA Tournament.

Can’t remotely agree with you that swapping out Fede for Corhen makes this an NCAA tourney team. Yeah rebounding is an issue with this team but that sure does ignore the multitude of other deficiencies also associated with this team. Swapping out one 5-rebound per game guy for another doesn’t solve all those issues.

The overall quality of play of this team and the individual players on it have fallen so far from when they were 12-2 and you can’t blame that all on Corhen or on the quality of the opponents given we’re talking about the ACC.
