My take for part of Svoboda's problems this year is that he still probably translates everything he hears in to Czech before he can respond, This would likely keep him a half a second slower than the next man. But he does have good instincts and appears to play within the plan that Grant has devised.

I agree 100%. While Tillman did score some on Scoboda, he did the best of the 3 that guarded Tillman from keeping him from getting the ball. A majority of Tillman's points came when Trey or Cunningham were guarding him.
