Spot on.  People were calling for more minutes, but I don't think he could have played 25 mpg last year at the intensity level needed.  Needs to improve S&C.  We know he can because he made a huge leap from HS.  Adama did as well.

Touch and patience at the rim, and a baby hook would be unstoppable. Later in the season he was often just throwing the ball at the glass. I think he got a little rattled by guys with size defending him and sped things up.  It's understandable, he really didn't face that in HS.  I'm confident that experience will help, and Singare is a good, different practice partner for him.

Curious what the film room shows.  He guarded bigs inside very effectively, didn't foul often.  He fouled slashers and guards attacking the rim a lot.  He chases them going for the block.  Sometimes gets it, but also gets them. Needs to just trust his height and reach.  If they make a very difficult shot over you, that's fine. [I]Forcing low percentage shots is the goal[/I]. Can't block everything.
