Could be a lack of respect. Lack of fear. lack of whatever it takes to know who the boss is. But I dont think KO actually needs to reach all of them in that manner. He needs to come to some kind of understanding and willingness to buy in with Jalen and Larrier. And those two need to be KO's mouthpiece on the floor and in the Locker room. Jalen is saying the right thing there. But when he abandons sets (especially late) for the Jalen Adams hero time show, is he gaining the respect of his teammates? Kemba and Bazz found a way to unequivocally be "the guy" and also have teammates respect them. Jalen needs to get to that. I dont like how much he and Larrier jaw at each other. Those two need to be a unified front representing KO's ideals to the youngsters on the team. So yeah, buck stops with KO, but your upperclassmen studs MUST play a part too. Some of that is on KO and some of that is on the 2 kids themselves. Not from a performance standpoint. but 5-0 is 5-0. [/QUOTE]
