My issue with both of them is their lack of hussle and intensity on defense.  They act like if they put a hand up they are guarding someone.  Joe shows a little toughness, but I haven’t seen any toughness out of Buddy all year.  He goes out of his way to avoid any contact.  It showed again yesterday when he had the layup that got blocked twice.  He should be able to live at the foul line with how aggressive teams play him, but he has a disdain for any kind of contact.  Loose balls have avoided him all year.  Even Joe stood and watched that long rebound yesterday that was his if he made any effort to get it.  As a coach, whenever I saw these kind of things the player sat down.  No questions asked.  JB has shown very little in holding these two accountable for their lack of effort and we aren‘t even talking about accountability for shot selection.  You don’t get extra points for degree of difficulty.  Joe was brain dead on his shot selections yesterday and throughout the past several games.  JB can say whatever he wants, but I believe a big part of our atrocious three point shooting is based on tired legs.  It’s one thing for juniors and seniors playing 40 minutes, it’s another thing for freshmen and sophomores.  They just didn’t forget how to shoot.
