Message: [QUOTE="FriarJ, post: 2917517, member: 1304"] You are right, he is exceptional at getting to the rim when closely guarded, for whatever reason he lacks confidence. At this level you can expect to be challenged at the rim and he has not adjusted. He gets the ball on the inbounds after a make, flies up the court then puts on the breaks at the 3 point line, the defense catches up and he proceeds to pound the ball into the ground while the shot clock ticks. It's very frustrating to watch because he is fast and can take his man off the dribble but he is trying to avoid being lost in the lane which happens a lot, he has zero midrange game currently. And, as you said though they don't play him close because they do not have to worry about his shot. He needs to work on his shot from everywhere. [/QUOTE]
