Title: Re: The grass is not always greener............... Post by: VOLMAN on January 27, 2025, 04:05:02 EST I know the foot surgery didn't help, but he was a bust last year. He missed so many shots from within 3 ft of the basket. He had terrible hands, couldn't catch a pass consistently, more often than not the ball would just slip through his hands. If he happened to catch a pass under the basket, instead of going straight up (like Phillips does now, or Okpara) he'd immediately begin dribbling the ball and get it stolen or a jump ball. I was glad to see him go and if Ark had watched film I can't understand why they wanted him...well he could block a shot once in a while but not enough to justify a starting spot. :patriot: :powert:
