Can't someone teach him to cradle the ball against his body on drives to the basket?
 
no, i don't
did he attend practice? will he be on the bench?
haven't seen anything about this, just pages and pages debating his worthiness to start & jb's treatment of him
Well, seems to me if his #1 personal goal is to improve his game in the shortest amount of time, then there's no better option for him than to stay right here...at least til the end of the year. He'd have the facilities, coaches who care enough about him to try to help him get better. And he could strive against a player whose game beat out his own game and see what he can learn from that. Who knows what could happen, if he continues to improves his handle, court vision, etc. in the next couple of years? The opportunity will always be there for him to prove himself to The Big Guy, convince him by his superior play, that he should be on the court.

But if at the end of this year he decides that there are too many mental obstacles to overcome and he'd really like to get as much 'guaranteed' court time as he can over the next couple of years, then he should consider transferring. Putting all emotion aside, simple logic says that right now he should continue to compete in practice every day, work on his 3-ball, his defense, etc. At this moment there are no better options. But not everybody can be a Scoop J, so you never know...
 
It's amazing how badly his practices must be going since before the season when he won the starting job.

Kid needs to turn his practice back around ASAP and get back into the practice form that landed him the starting role!
 
if you watch the whole presser you realize that is not at all what happened. there was no humiliation, let alone jb going out of his way to do so

What does a quote like that prove? In addition to what he said the other night, how is it to anyone's benefit saying something Iike this?
