Coaches Show 2/23

[RoyalShock]

My concern is that with his proficiency of turning the ball over, he may not have the ball in his hands long enough to find the open man. And if he does maintain posession of the ball, at the D1 level there will be fewer open men to find and those that are will be less open and open for a shorter period of time. In other words, his margin for error will shrink significantly, thereby multiplying an already obvious weakness.

I like his upside a lot, and I trust the coaching staff's belief that he will help our program. But he needs to correct the turnover problem ASAP, then work on his shooting. Once Hannah is done, we'll need him to be able to shoot (and make) when open.

Another bad thing about his game is he is not a very good shooter

Coach added that if his shooting skills were above average (closer to Hannah's level) then he probably wouldn't be attending WSU. Coach sounds elated to have him and sounds as if his athletic abilities are off the chart (mentioning on several occasions being able to touch the top of the square).

The turnover problem will be addressed. And people will be open. If nobody helps off to stop him he's going to score. If they do, he'll find the open man. I'm not too worried about KJ. Once he gets here and is playing with and against D1 and above players he'll start to learn what he can and can't get away with.

Fantastic recap. Thanks MikeShock.

[RoyalShock]

I forgot to thank MikeShox. But that's no recap, that's a play-by-play!

Whoa!

Did you mean to say the top of the square?

That's a fact Jack! :good:

The square

Ricky's disappointed -- he was hoping you meant top of the backboard.

:D

By the way, when LeBron went into the NBA, he could not throw a 3 ball in the ocean.

There is hope for Kenny.
