[QUOTE="Emerson Bigguns, post: 1570852, member: 666858"] I think he is just fighting his own instincts at the moment. He is trying to fit in. It been a while since his role on a team was to fit in. His best attribute is his ability to score. When you have been 1st or second scoring option your whole life, it's difficult to just go into a mode where you are 3rd or 4th option. In the first couple B1G games he tried to be himself early, but missed some jumpers, had a couple shots blocked at the rim, and maybe the victim of some no calls through contact. Perhaps he sensed it was better for the team to stop forcing things and let the game come to him. (It probably was) Unfortunately, that isn't really who he is and it seems to have gotten in his head a bit. He seems like a confident young man. I assume his performance in the last couple of games is just a bump in the road. He is too talented to stay down for long. [/QUOTE]
