[QUOTE="HeartofaChampion, post: 1186255, member: 3074"] I spent much of Sunday's game watching just him and KL when they were on offense. Their defenders were sagging a good 5-7 feet off them to the edge of the FT lane until they got inside the arc. It reminded me of how Purdue defended Frazier his junior year when we played in W-L. Running a drive-oriented offense in that situation is next to impossible. There's just nowhere for others to drive with the ball, and KN's and MH's defenders are able to play denial defense on them without having to worry about playing help D. It's painful to watch. Not sure why JT hasn't improved his shot at all. He's no better shooter today than his frosh year. Even Frazier shot 38 or 39 percent from 3 later in his career at UI. Some players just can't develop a jumper. KL isn't much better, and he just doesn't have a quick first step, either. He'd be best in a backup role for 8-10 mpg. In his defense, he's playing far too many minutes for what he brings to the table. [/QUOTE]
