Absolutely.  This is critical to my view of Vital.  Some of this isn't his fault.  People throw out that he may be our all time leading 3 point shooter, yet for 2 of his 3 years he took horrible shots.  Calhoun would have parked him on the pine.  He was a bad basketball player, despite scoring a lot.   Now is that CV's fault?  Not really, it was due to injuries that forced him into the lineup and an inept coach, who couldn't sit him down even if he wanted to.  So he learned some [U]very bad habits[/U] and got an inflated sense of himself.  That's not all bad, his confidence has helped him in some cases, but caused him to act like a punk a couple of times too.

He improved last year.  But he didn't get all the way there. Just because his shooting percentages were pretty good doesn't mean he made good decisions often enough.  He was much better, but he still didn't pass in several key situations where he should have and made a number of bone-headed plays.

So how much better can he be at the mental side of the game?  How much can he bring himself to defer to others, make a few more assists and perhaps not be one of our leading scorers on many nights?
