Looks timid and he’s forcing shots.

mild slump.

he's always taken some crazy shots, but they aren't falling for him.

I saw him pass up a 3 to pass to Reath to take a 3. Duop made it luckily but that just didn’t make sense to me. Waters passed up a shot to give his center a 3.

Was just going to comment in the Rachel thread that while he’s still a great athlete he plays timid too (both of them right now)

I think the young guys actually feel a little bit of pressure with the tournament chances quickly drifting away if we don’t regroup

Also Vanderbilt is not remotely as bad as their record indicates. They played a brutal schedule with lots of close losses. Not saying we shouldn’t win but still

To me sometimes when he's playing out there he has this attitude like he just doesn't care, could be me, but that's what I see when I watch him.

Ehh, we’ll agree to disagree. Dude plays like 35 minutes a game. That’s not the numbers of an apathetic players. It’s lrobably exhausting playing that many minutes as a freshman with that much riding on your shoulders

Not really, I played college ball, and you're in great shape for games from the practices and all plus being young like that meant I had loads of energy, so really the minutes don't matter. But his attitude is what I notice, and sometimes he's just not in the game head wise.

Tigerbait2010-I agree, Waters seems tired to me. And it’s totally justified in that he’s playing 35 min and also using a lot of energy on both ends if the court. Plus I think teams are starting to get more physical with him.

Duop shoots something like 65% from that spot. Not a bad decision at all.

He needs to watch some tape of Chris Paul. Learn how to control the pace, learn how to beat defenses when they hedge on ball screens.

Wade could also help him by getting him some looks running off screens without the ball.

He needs to shoot more and quit passing.

When his shot is off, I’d like to see him drive to the basket more. Doesn’t seem like many people can stop him when he does that.

Does he have a head cold? Flu? Does he have an illness of some sort?

Think he’s got a minor wrist injury.
