Message: [QUOTE="HW611, post: 5339742, member: 14096"] Because we’ve all been following his journey here. Maybe we don’t all recognize the same things but there were things I definitely picked up on about what was emphasized. When he first got here he seemed fine handling the ball and making plays. He did a lot of it on the Euro trip (I know some of you all don’t like to reference that trip for anything). Then the season came and all the staff wanted him to do was catch and shoot and never put the ball on the floor. Hurley would do nothing but talk about his jumper and that’s all that was expected of him in the game. Then we’re surprised the next year when all he could do was catch and shoot and not put the ball on the floor to playmake or attack. I’ve said before this staff has a very reactive way of addressing issues that they don’t see until it affects winning and this is another example of it. Him being that limited affected us a lot last year so [B]now[/B] let’s focus on cleaning something up they should’ve been pushing since day 1. The players will get better at anything the staff actively asks them to do and they themselves invest in them doing. If they don’t care about it getting done or investing in it, then no a guy will not look like he’s capable of doing it. [/QUOTE]
