Penn St. is just nine spots behind us on offense efficiency with a losing record. So obviously that isn’t everything. Since, I don’t know what to look for, maybe you can let me know. What I see on the stat sheet is zero points. I don’t think it is out of line to want to see just a little more from A. Miller being that he was a high recruit, and Mr. Basketball in the state of Illinois. I think many on this board had and do have high expectations for him and want him to succeed. But there was a lot of talk about him possibly being one and done or gone after two. After his first game, I was excited to see what he was going to do. Granted it was against a terrible team but he looked confident; he looked great. Now, I don’t expect that kind of play come conference and other big games. But I was hopeful. I am waiting for that break out Perfomance (again). As far as what they do in practice. I have no idea. However I doubt they are telling him to not find his shot. In the games we have lost he is 7/33 in FG’s and 6/23 on 3’s for a total of 13/56 combined. When I have watched him lately it seems he is sitting in the corner waiting to hit a three. Which sometimes he has good games and then he doesn’t. I would think he could penetrate more than relying on the 3 as much as he does. That’s my observation. If he gets more balanced I think we can go deep into the tournament. Of course he does other things on the floor, but we need him to be more consistent. Zero point games should be rare being a starter in the big ten. He has had three in conference play.
With a combo of Miller/Williams/Frazier giving us a solid 25/30 points a game and Ayo and Kofi doing there thing this team can get to the elite eight, maybe further if they can get better at shooting free throws.

Honestly, I am fine with people disagreeing with my opinions, we’re all supposed to be on the same side. But if you just want to hurl insults don’t waste your time replying. I want everyone in this program to succeed and I want the team to do well. I have my observations and my perspective, if you want to offer a good rebuttal than lay it out. It’s cool with me.
