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/


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.

If gray and jones can't get on the same page we aren't going anywhere. This team needs a PG, not a scorer who can handle the ball, or a guy to take up space, but something in the middle. Gray just hasn't found that yet.
