This is strictly my observation and opinion on Coleman…I keep waiting to see the Coleman of old and I unfairly expect him to prove every game he's not that guy anymore. He’s the leader, he’s the guy who does so many little things that add up to big impacts that don’t always include scoring. He shows his basketball IQ and maturity has greatly improved, yet he has to prove it every game. I’m so impressed with his level of play and at some point I have to accept this is who he is now. Am I the only one?
I think it is fair to wonder. You always hope a player will mature and develop, but there's never a guarantee and each guy is on his own timeline. Maturity and confidence come with experience. The more he plays at this level, the more it becomes what is expected. He has a lot to be proud of, for how he has come out early in this season. His effort is tremendous, and he has consistently put himself in positions on the court to make winning plays. I've been critical of him on here in the past, I think justifiably so.
There isn't a lot to pick apart this year. He's put in the work, and it shows. I think it's safe to depend on him to play really well consistently. I guarantee it's what he expects from himself, or this type of growth wouldn't be possible.
