it is 50/50 a talent/mind issue, and if Bobby Knight was telling the truth about basketball being 3:1 mental>physical, then somewhere in that mess of an equation is Jalen.. his catch &  shot is a process.. not fluid, almost as if he regrets shooting before it happens... his shot off the dribble to the right looks good, but only goes in about 20% of the time, probably less so to the left.. in transition he's fine.. elite athleticism will get you far.. but his tendency to attempt to dribble through defenders would be funny id it didn't hurt.. he can drive right on anyone & finish any 1v1 scenario, but when that help comes and turns him left, watch out. Jumping without a plan, dribbling off people's feet, and yes, the happy ending where he's on the floor looking at the teammate who couldn't have helped anything as if he's to blame. Basketball is a fickle game.. as bad as everything appears now, if 2 or 3 of his 17' jumpers go down instead of clank & maybe his confidence kicks in & we hold off South Florida... But its not like he's the reason we aren't ranked 3 in the country.
