Message: [QUOTE="Flacusian, post: 565637, member: 264"] Kudo's to CJ for continuing to improve and providing the only consistent play on this team all season. As has been stated here ad nauseum... the kid should get more touches. It would appear at this point that he is the only player on the team that hasn't displayed MK-ulra type brain washing resulting in eliminating all confidence resulting in the complete inability to make a shot. I think that Cooney at best will be a guy you can have come in and provide some shooting from the 3. Even that remains to be seen. Xmas has shown the all too occasional flash of ability and we can only hope that he brings what we were hoping for this year, next year. Grant was dissed by just handing over his minutes to James when he came back. Grant deserved more minutes for what he provided during James's absence. You've got to wonder about how things like that affect a players psyche especially in view of what has happened to some of our other players mentally as of late. Coleman has a lot of work to do to become a force and he's another one that you have to wonder about with respect to how his confidence is tethered together. Outside of the talent aspect of a player are the other tangibles and non tangibles such as their ability to learn, to play together within the parameters of the team philosophy, and their mental toughness and ability to maintain confidence in the face of adversity. The program also needs to recruit some kids that can shoot! I know some will say that we have recruited kids who can shoot. Perhaps, but where are they now? I certainly don't see any of them. And it's fine if the kid can shoot in High School but what happens when he gets up to this level and then has a crisis in confidence which he can't shoot his way out of. [/QUOTE]
