[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1583333, member: 623415"] I think we’re basically on the same page here. As I said in my original post, kid has amazing talent and skills. My main point was that people keep bringing up his TO/A ratio and mentioned that he only had one TO, and I don’t think that tells the whole story with his game. Honestly, I was surprised he only had one TO last night because he had a pretty lengthy stretch in second half where his play/decisions wasn’t very good and led to empty possessions. So as you say, I still have a problem at times with his “too risky line.” Do I think he’s gotten better in that regard? Yes. Do I think he still has room to improve? Yes. Am I advocating for him to see less time? No. He is an important part of the team now and will be even more so in the future. But I do wish he would read the game situation better at times and not take “bad risks.” And as to the last pass to Kofi, I didn’t see that as risky at all, just a great basketball play by a player with great court awareness. And I think I’d still think that even if it hadn’t worked out. But real glad it did. [/QUOTE]
