That’s fair if you want to disagree. I wouldn’t call your opinion mental gymnastics before having discourse, but sure. My question to you would be, is it possible to expect to win competitive games with a player taking 15-20% of the team’s minutes and 25% of the team’s shots while being one of the worst volume shooters in the country?
The live ball turnovers are systemic that are affecting multiple players in a new system. Therefore, asking that to be immediately corrected is not as low hanging of a fruit as asking one of the supposed best shooters in the conference to start shooting at an average level. I also don’t think the little things Kelly does make up for him literally shooting us out of games - if you disagree with that then I’ll call it the mental Simone Biles.
My overarching point is that, through 12 games, we’d have a better record by playing an average ACC SG than we do by playing Miles Kelly. That does not mean I want Miles Kelly to take fewer shots or be less aggressive. I just want him to be better.
Live ball turnovers are systemic??? What does that even mean? Turnovers are a direct result of poor decision making. Throwing it into traffic, trying to do much, make the HR pass, etc.
The one thing you're right about is that is multiple players. That alone should tell you that it is a bigger problem than Miles shooting woes. We're averaging 13 TO's again, tied for highest in ACC.
Also, when has Miles shot us out of games?
A.) We have only lost three games, so he hasn't shot us out of many
B.) you just overlooking everyone else missing shots?
Miles is having a poor year shooting the rock, that is clear, but to his credit, he is still finding ways to contribute and help us win games.
Replace him with an average ACC shooting guard and we're better? Get real... Miles 14.8ppg will put him in the top 10 of scoring guards in the conference.
