You know Polley can be much more than a threat from 3.  The dude is skilled at 6'9" with a good outside shot and respectable handle.  In my opinion he isn't utilized enough in regular situations where he is routinely in mismatches with players much smaller than him.  Polley routinely has opportunities to take these guys off the dribble for a pull up 2, mid range 2 or inside the paint.  He is also a descent free throw shooter.

I simply think his and the teams focus on him being a 3 point specialist fails to take advantage of his other skills as it relates to routine mismatches in these games.  Some of this must be driven by our guards which is not a strength of theirs.  Hurley can certainly be more intentional here.

I do think Polley is learning how to relax a bit more which helps his shot and I expect him to be more consistent and peak in March.  Polley could be dominant if he believed in his self and is confident. You can see that his confidence is fragile and he stops himself.  It's in him and we've all seen it.  As a senior we need him to breakout.  If he does it will open everything else up for this team.
