Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1207870, member: 569"] You can already see in Joseph's demeanor and decision making that he is slowly improving. I was looking at Chris last night when he was taking a seat on the bench and thinking I hope he holds up. The thing he has going for him is that his game is not that of a banger and he has nice touch on the jumper. Also as Joseph improves as you predict it would make things easier for Chris which may mask him hitting the wall. Its hard to say with freshmen, some hit the wall for a game or two some for the rest of the season. Cooney is all about shot selection right now. He's making the good ones at a good rate he missing the bad ones because no one makes those shots. I agree in general he is a complimentary player whom the defense has to account for that who he is. I do think he can do a better job making the defense pay for overplaying him. My big gripe is just taking shots that he can't make, I know they are hounding him but he's got to be more patient and move the ball. I am going to disagree on Johnson. He sure grabs a lot of rebounds for a guy who isn't physically ready. Sure he needs to add weight but the things he really needs to do game experience will help IMO. He needs to recognize good from bad shots. He needs to make shots and build confidence in his shot. He needs to figure out when to pass and when to take the shot himself. He needs to learn the defense in application. All of these things can be improved bye getting regular PT. You very well may be correct but last night Johnson was about 2 made 3 away from everyone being gaga over him on the board. Buss confuses the heck out of me. His jumper looks great when he commits to it. He plays good defense. He seems comfortable making plays off the dribble and passing but only in space without pressure. He also looks lost in half court offense and struggles to do anything while closely guarded. [/QUOTE]
