Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 4259807, member: 6158"] I recall him at times exploding to the rim perhaps against lesser competition. But the speed and hops are there. To me he has a confidence problem and appears like he is expecting to make mistakes. I'm not sure if that's on his mind, playing time or something else. PG is leadership on the floor and should be syncing with the coach. He's not a guy to make his own shot most of the time; therefore, he should be working through offensive sets; no? I think he needs help, and it should begin now and be set up with whatever the staff and others can do to help him. This is where "team" comes in. It is in the staff's interest as well as his to work together and regularly meet to evaluate results. To me it's not too late to help him turn this around. I remember when he was a young player he would come off the bench and calm down what was a pretty frenetic and disorganized offense. I thought he brought stability and some organization on the floor and it seemed to bring better thinking and execution overall for everyone. Nothing really flashy on this part; but steady and effective to a degree. As a senior he can return to that steady guy, run through sets and occasionally use his skills of slashing or hitting an outside shot. He has the physical tools to play at this level. Hoping he has a turnaround like Josh. [/QUOTE]
