[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1562017, member: 517079"] Interesting that his performance brought out "meh" responses -- I thought he was definitely noticeably better than Baylor (not a high bar, to be fair) and wasn't forcing the issue nearly as much. I agree too that he was going to the basket when the opportunity presented itself and I'm a fan of avoiding midrange shots unless its late in the shot clock or late in the game (when defenses clamp down). Ayo focusing on everything other than being the man every night (spacing floor, rebounding, defense, passing) is EXACTLY what we need from him -- the more we can make everybody a weapon, the more things will open up and make his life easier. Plus letting the shots slowly come and starting with the easier opportunities is a good way to get the confidence/rhythm needed so that he's on point when its nut crunching time. [/QUOTE]
