I get what you’re saying and there is truth to it. A component of winning players is unselfishness and making key plays and god
Of decisions at key moments.

That said, it can often be easy to look at the best or most talented player on a team and blame them for not delivering a win or the desired success. This happened to scoop his junior year — only player on that team willing to take the ball in big spots and try and make plays. He failed a bunch and was eviscerated here for it. But there was no one else on that team ready to step up, so he was stuck.

In Judah’s case, the selfishness has been tough to watch this year. He’s also inconsistent and his NBA prospects seem dim at the moment. Agree with all of that. But the kid has also been this team’s only consistent scorer/playmaker. We have only one other option as a ball-handler (Quadir). We don’t rebound, injuries haven’t helped at all, and there are still questions about the strategic approach both offensively and defensively from the head coach.

I mean, I get the frustration but I keep getting confused about how this all gets laid at Judah’s feet? Yes, if he were a lottery pick tearing teams up night after night, that would be awesome. But, for me at least, the other personnel and schematic questions jump out as the major flaws here.
