he isnt really included in the offense. well, there isnt really an offense.

so when he gets the ball...its like a special occasion for him.  and he either needs to dribble through the entire opposing 5 or just pass it to a teammate.  there are rarely any possessions where he touches the ball more than once...so if he passes it, means he wont shoot at all that possession...and since he rarely gets passed the ball...its a catch 22.

he is a very good passer...but dosnt really get to show it much. the team could really use his passing imo.

ways he can be used better in the offense -

1- offensive boards and put backs...needs to find a way to hit the boards harder and get some offensive rebounds

2 - alley oops...this team used to kill teams with alley oops and he can finish them! run some backdoor lobs for benny!

3 - as a post up passer - they tried this one game in atlantis actually and it didnt work that well...but I think he is a very good passer...just needs to get more touches, imo

4 - design some plays for him.

I think it really comes down to too many mouth to feed and he is low on the pecking order.  its hard for him to know how to fit in to the team and he is deferring and likely in his own head about everything..wanting to do more.  good play will come when he isnt self conscious out there and just knows what to do without thinking...needs minutes and coaching. the team needs him ...so gotta just keep putting him out there and hope it clicks.

he is very talented and it will click at some point. 100%
