[QUOTE="gt24, post: 782398, member: 538"] 100% agree. my view is that so much of his shortcomings to this point are based on the need for more experience and learning when and how to use his skillset. i hesitate to use the term "basketball IQ" because it could be taken as a criticism. not that at all. he simply needs to keep growing and learning on the trajectory he is on. he missed an entire season of game play because of transfer. i've mentioned it before in other threads and on chat: you can see his decision making (bball IQ) improving week-to-week throughout this season. his in-season improvement has been noteworthy - he and the coaches deserve considerable credit. he attacks far more selectively and smarter now. he attacks looking to collapse the def and find teammates now, rather than to create his own shot each time. he has mostly cut down on 3pt shots off the bounce now (still gets juiced occasionally and launches a pull-up 3 with 17 secs on the shot clock). most of his 3s now are catch-and-shoot. (would love to see his 3pt FG% comparing off-the-bounce and catch-and-shoot). there is room for physical skills development on the offensive end for sure, but so much low hanging fruit for his development is continue to accumulate game experience (and game film) to improve decision making and bball IQ. he's on the right trajectory, and like you said, another year could be exactly what he needs to maximize his potential.
