Bingo.  This was always my issue.

Early on I thought it was a confidence issue - if he missed a shot early, or badly, he seemed to go into a shell.  Even in the "AIRBALL" game that seemed to happen and that was a bit later in the year.

I thought outside the NIT though, there seemed to be a ton of games where he seemed content to do zero other than the bring the ball up, pound it a bit to kill the shot clock, look around, and do zip.

He was a weird player.  I couldn't find him more frustrating, but people seemed to like him!  The part that drove me most mad was that when he started hitting shots, all of a sudden it seemed like he could dribble a lot better, break some people down, get to the rim a bit more.  Oh wellz.

He did seem completely checked out in the NIT, but I thought he had so many halves where he played like that overall this year that it wasn't all that odd.  He just had a lot of games where it was only one half where he was checked out - the other half he balled a bit.
