Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4527458, member: 6696"] I think Alex also needs to get it through his head that he isn't a freshman that needs to defer. He needs to be hunting for his own shot. If you watch him closely, he often catches the ball already facing the guy he's going to pass to. He needs to think SHOOT on every touch, and think pass later. He's going to be a 16/5/2 kind of player as a sophomore, and should start acting like it. I also like Alex aggressively driving 3 or 4 times a game attacking closeouts. He's not a great finisher right now (his footwork sucks--he has no idea how to jump off one foot and gets blocked), but every rep is an investment in our future. He also needs to learn to negative step and go to his left hand. I'd much rather see a Karaban layup than Diarra, Alleyne, Joey C right now. [/QUOTE]
