Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2496773, member: 488"] I'm not understanding the Jalen capes. He's been a big disappointment this season. Kid was a five star out of high school who is now 22 years old and making the same mistakes he's made his entire career. Say what you want about Ollie - the other lead guards that he's coached here have turned out alright. We all know he doesn't have much around him. But if you're telling me he looks like one of the best players in the country right now, you're nuts. Several times today he barreled into traffic and had his shot blocked by the help defender instead of dishing. That's day one stuff. His jump shot actually seems to have regressed from last season. I'm not going to say his conditioning is bad because he plays an unreasonable amount of minutes, but I certainly don't get the feeling that he's in as good a shape as he could be. This isn't Ray Allen or Kemba. He's a good college guard who doesn't seem to have much of a penchant for leading and isn't ever going to be as good as he could have been. He should be the best player on the floor in every game we play and I never get that sense. Other great players, you know they're great even when they're being coached by lame duck coaches. Our offense is bad because of Jalen as much as it is bad despite him. He's asked to do a lot, yes, but he doesn't actually do it. The fact that he can't get iso buckets consistently because his jumper his broken holds back our offense big time. [/QUOTE]
