Yeah, it's pretty sad to see Braswell struggling to deal with the competitive situation. You can see he's got skills, but that he's really messed up mentally on the court, constantly appraising his performance from one second to the next and that's inhibiting his performance.

What he needs to do is blow it all out of his head and really not give a damn about what ultimately befalls him. He has to reject the importance of what he knows is important. That's the mental trick you have to figure out to do your best against tough competition.

You can tell that Boeheim understands what he's dealing with and wants to give him a chance to shake it off, but both Robert and Jim know that at some point, Jim is going to have to make a decision based on the performance he sees in games. And that of course is what messing him up.

The best attitude for him to adopt is to accept that it may not work out for him at Syracuse, but no matter what, he should take full advantage of the opportunity he has to play [I]right now, this season[/I], against tough opponents for as long as it lasts here at Syracuse. [I]At worst[/I], it's an opportunity to finish another year of college, continue to compete and improve his game under good coaching and then he'll decide to do what's best for him.

In the meantime, go out and compete, enjoy the opportunities that arise, and just enjoy playing basketball worry-free. Best of luck, Robert!
