Bazz was criticized his freshman year for being totally out of control and way too loose with the ball. Sometimes all that speed means nothing if it's not handled correctly.
Bazz worked on slowing his approach to the game down and to be more court observant and deliberate in his game. Nowell will find the correct speed with which to play.
I've watched the kid for 2 years in AAU ball and the kid has handle and can change speed. The difference at UConn is that he is being thrown to the lions without being able to work through mistakes which should of happened during the cupcake schedule but Dan Hurley went for the blowouts rather than player development. Now the team is in a "can't afford another loss" situation, that isn't a place for development. Between this scenario and the injuries, it has been less than productive for Nowell.
If he decides to stay at UConn (probably not a good bet) I would hope Dan Hurley would give a top 30 recruit more benefit of the doubt.
