re: Javonte Smart...need more from him

We’re having a lot of the same problems we had early last season. Changing the way our point guard plays is a major one. If you remember this happened with Waters too, his scoring and attempts were down by over 5 ppg and close to an assist per game with his turnovers sky high compared to SEC play. Now it’s happening with Smart. He’s indecisive, he’ll beat his man then stop and look to pass, getting into trouble, where last season he lived at the line because nobody could stay in front of him. This kid is a scorer at heart and last season when he filled in for a sick Waters he cut out Tennessee’s heart. This is a Wade problem and if he doesn’t want Smart to be a score first point guard just move him off the ball and let Mays play the point. We’ve wasted any chance at a pre-conf resume and if it doesn’t change the entire season will be a waste.
