Let's face it. He didn't start off well yesterday. Front rimmed a bunch, first shot was an airball.
I was worried early. Even though this is an exhibition, he needs to hit some of those. It's his job.
But then I found this.
Aside from the legs, hot gym, endurance...it looks like he learned a decent lesson, which many of us were pointing out last night.
"Getting to the basket definitely gives yourself a rhythm," Cooney said. "I wish I would have done that a little earlier."
That's it! If they cover you tightly, don't want to give you space, put the ball on the floor and make things happen in the lane or for your teammates. I am not saying he is this masterful penetrator, but if he can make things happen with a few bounces, it will give him some confidence and keep the defense a little more honest.
Not giving up on him, but he's got to build on these mistakes, apply them to the next day. I hope he does. We could certainly use the points at the 2.
