Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 971801, member: 27"] JB isn't an idiot. It is my belief he only criticizes players publicly when repeated private criticism has failed. I think he is really frustrated with TR right now and is using this as a last resort to try and get him to contribute. From what I have seen, the kid has talent but isn't ready to play. He is still a step too slow sometimes on defense. On offense, he is playing scared and is content to stand around on the perimeter, where he is a complete non-entity. Looks to me as though he is in the middle of making the transition from HS, where he played on the low post with his back to the basket most of the time, to college, where he is facing the basket. It is a huge change and often takes a year or two to make the necessary adjustments. [/QUOTE]
