Gray was a beast in juco because he could out-athlete people just like high school. Now he has to understand how to make the players around him better. He needs to understand the flow of the game, when to push, how to get people in the right position, and end of game situations.
Did you watch today? Gray was very passive and tries to get everyone else involved passing up scoring chances. Christ, he passed the ball to Brandon Eddlestone under the basket when he could have just went up and at least picked up a foul. He needs to stop trying to dish it out 15 times a game and take the easy scoring opportunities when they are presented to him/

You must have misunderstood the post. Being a PG is all about finding a balance btwn being aggressive and getting others involved. He can score at will almost, but the issue is confusion with the team, offense, and flow.
Regardless, if guys are confused on the court that's on him and Johnny. I just don't see gray directing guys where they need to be.

I think he's over compensating. I think the coaches told him he can't do what he did in JUCO. He was chucking up 30-40 shots a game. He can't do that here. So he's being way too passive. For Josh it's gonna be all about finding a happy medium between being assertive and being a facilitator. Right now, he's trying to be too much of a pass first guy. I bet there will be games where he forces up some really bad shots as well. It's all about feel for the flow and pace of the game, playing within yourself, and playing as a team. Right now, I think Josh and the team as a whole doesn't have a great feel for the game so they're rushing and forcing things and not playing their game. I also don't think they've found what their best at as a team yet.

quote:That was a good pass that he needs to make. ODU challenged it well and Eddlestone missed. It's not like the guy is garbage because he missed one reverse layup. Darcy was open on a play around the same time and Gray passed him up when he was wide open. The only reason Darcy got the ball was because he got the deflection after Gray was blocked.

Gray is not some fantastic scorer at this level that he can take over on offense. He needs to keep turnovers down because of his fantastic dribble and learn how to manage the game better.
