Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 2952635, member: 6979"] howard needs to be in the game for his shooting...despite his difficulties and regression this year...he's quietly become a GOOD 3 point shooter...i think his play really suffers when he doesn't get a rhythm and extended minutes...because when he plays about 20 minutes or so...it puts him into a shell...i can almost see the wheels turning in his head worried about getting yanked when he knows it is likely...thats why i think he played his best as a junior ...he KNEW he wasnt getting yanked and could puff his chest out on the court...he needs to be able to play without fear to be his best...(i think the same dynamic is true with Carey as well except he hasnt developed his shot yet)...and extended minutes are the recipe for that. yeah the offense is slow with him out there and the ball stops more - but if he scores ~15 points and gets assists - he is a valuable threat.
