He is averaging 4.9 assists and 4.7 points per game when he plays.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a promising 3-1 start, the Miami Dade College <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcathletics.com\/sports\/mbkb\/index\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">men\u2019s basketball team<\/span><\/strong><\/a> has sputtered, losing 11 of their last 14 games. Despite the tailspin, the team has not lost its optimism. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur team is doing great right now,\u201d said \u00a0Kevin Ledoux, the Sharks head coach. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of adversity due to injuries, so we\u2019re actually doing pretty well for the injuries we\u2019re hitting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, the injuries have mounted for the Sharks. Guards <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/sanchez-poised-to-help-sharks-off-the-bench\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Victor Sanchez<\/span><\/strong><\/a> (groin) and Elijah Hill (ankle) have missed time during the team\u2019s recent rough patch. Forward Ricardo Lynch, who is the team\u2019s second leading scorer (16.3 points per game), has also missed time due to an ankle injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI hate sitting out and seeing my teammates playing and not being able to help them,\u201d Sanchez said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides being a captain, Sanchez is the team\u2019s second leading assist man (4.9 assists per game). He also has a true point guard\u2019s mentality. When asked what he believes the team has missed most about his game, his response was that of a true floor general: \u201cThe main thing they maybe have missed from me, is having someone that puts them in the right position.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so many key players out of action, Ledoux said it\u2019s been difficult to build team chemistry at the start of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe style we play, we need everyone to play,\u201d Ledoux said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t been able to play our style as far as pressing the entire game and trapping the entire game.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a team that depends so much on its depth the injuries have proven costly. The team is currently 6-11. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the rough start, there have been some positives. Forward Cedric Belemene has made his presence felt. Belemene is nearly averaging a double-double. He\u2019s stuffing the stat sheet, averaging 10.1 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. The team has needed every single bit of his scoring and production on the glass. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt feels good to help the team,\u201d Belemene said. \u201cIt\u2019s making me feel like I\u2019m doing something special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Belemene said he is capable of more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I get used to the system we\u2019re playing, my numbers are going to get better,\u201d Belemene said. \u201cI\u2019m hopefully going to be able to help the team much better than I\u2019m doing right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the losses, the players share the same sentiment as their head coach. They believe they will turn things around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really believe we have the potential to do something real special,\u201d Belemene said. \u201cNow we just have to work more and practice, and get better everyday.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanchez agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe hit rock bottom,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cWe\u2019re getting back.
