Good technique, seems to be a mental issue. Once he sees some shots start to fall for him I think he will see things begin to turn around. That may mean driving and pulling up from 15 and getting to the line more. Not just settling for 3's.

Also, I see him like Grayson Allen at Duke. Playing alongside talent as a freshman and just can't find a rhythm. Stay an extra year be the guy and light it up. I know he wants to be a one-n-done but I think staying another year will benefit him more.

Doesnt look like it is too far off mechanically speaking but i think he's got some mental obstacles in his way right now

Man if he could get going just a little with Hornsby and Victor back and Quarterman playing like a baws

Patterson is a much better player in every facet of the game.


Ummm what? Patterson came up big last night, but he's been MIA a lot. Blakeney has played incredible D the last month, he and Pat are the same. But Blakeney is way way more explosive.

quote:

he fact that the refs asked the coach to pull him at the end of the game should seal his fate as far as any professional basketball goes.


This is a joke, right? A) for no other reason than look at some of the thugs in the NBA. And B) Do you even know what happened? If it was THAT bad, he would have gotten a technical.

People bitch about how our players are soft and shite, then we get some guys that start to nut up and we want to call them thugs. AB has been shite on by 90% of the fanbase, shot somewhat poorly, but played amazing D and played his arse off. He was a key part of that victory, and as dirty as UK plays (even though people say they play 'tough'), I'm glad he let them know they're nothing but little bitches.

A brick. Can't see if he is getting good rotation, but based on the bounces off of the rim/backboard it is not pretty. He can elevate, and his mid-range jumper seems to be OK. Saw him hit a nice shot around the foul line/top of the key, and then get called for a foul over the back late in the game. He needs to drive to the hoop and use his 'hops' to help with his shot creation and selection. Attack the rim, and get to the foul line more too.
