Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 1973739, member: 489"] Jalen - prone to runs, but too many times they are runs of just awful decisions passing the ball. Same as last game except in the first half he had a run of 3-4 possession where he threw 3 terrible passes to the post where Amida and face has their guys and he's basically trying to throw over the defender, but giving away his pass. What was he thinking? I mean this is not a tough pass, ball fake high throw a bounce pass or ball fake bounce pass throw high or zip it in. He killed us and helped ignite fast breaks and open looks for Memphis. KO needs more out of this kid but for now he's still on the learning curve. And after a couple of those passes he's blaming others, one time Durham when he didn't even get it over hid defender. Kid needs to be a leader and not a whiner. Maturity can't just be the nights you're winning (few and far between) or making shots it has to be there all the time. Time to be a positive leader and talk to these guys, not whine to them about what you want. Think he will be a really good one but nights like tonight really show how long the road still is for this young man. [/QUOTE]
