Everyone is focused on the basketball tools and how they are playing, but I firmly believe he looks to be flat-footed more often defensively because he is catching his breath and trying to get his legs under him.  Take the Buffalo game (32 minutes of game time, his tied high for the year) shooting-wise: 3-6 in first half, 1-6 in second half.

He is playing a big game of catch-up to get his conditioning where it needs to be and keep his legs under him.  It is extremely difficult to catch up on that in game action and with 3 or 4 days between games while continuing to do maintenance on his ankle and any other minor injuries he may be nursing.

Schedule was great to give him some time to catch up during the Holiday season.  He will have some 5-day breaks in the middle of this month and a 7-day break in February.

Legs looked better against Notre Dame in terms of conditioning.  Think staff will have to get inventive from here on out to increase his conditioning while letting him go into games with his legs under him.
