I love his effort, but sometimes effort is misplaced. For example, biting on every pump fake.  He is trying so hard out there to give 110% that he often leaves his feet on the slightest movement and fouls people or puts himself out of position.     Kid is really getting after it. There is a helter skelter and discomposed aspect to his floor time.  I would like him to take a deep breath and harness that exhuberance and be more calculating in using that obvious explosiveness.

It is so tantalizing, because I do see what Hurley sees.    In practice the game has slowed down for him,  but that has yet to translate into game minutes.  He actually looked more comfortable in November than he does right now.  When the game slows down for him in game minutes we may start to see the fruits of his labor.  His upside is higher than Stewart or Mahaney, and defensively even with what I mentioned above, he is ahead of those two.  Especially Mahaney.  But offensively is a different story.    If we could combine Mahaneys offense with Ross's defense we would have a real formidable player.  As long as we arent losing, I imagine Hurley will continue to play his cards for the higest ceiling; and that is Ross, if he gets it together offensively.
