Butler Game Discussion

Just saw the shot chart we only made 3 shots inside the , in the first half. That horrible! Has a lot to do with not moving the ball ,I hear the coaches yelling move the ball at the top of their lungs. Butler had a terrible first half as well I can see us getting clapped by 30 today.

Malik Ellison making 1 of 2 free throws every time is one of lifes only guarantees.

Got to say this annoys me too. Seems like every trip. Lack of focus + detail seems to be the root of all his problems. I'm not overly concerned because I think he'll phase this out with more experience but needs to be addressed.

Lack of focus? He has had some awful turnovers this year. At timeouts he should be reminded we are wearing red.

Sorry Dave was not trying to come at you . Aggressive is good. But he is often out of control. Most of his drives lead to no points. Some 1 point . Occasionally 2. I think he is over his head . Not saying he sucks. But he is still a long way from helping us win.

he can shoot the 3. This is the type of player you want in your program. It's not going to be an overnight turn around, but he'll get there. I still see some DJ Kennedy in his game.

Most kids, even talented ones aren't great as freshman. You can tell Ellison has skill but he's very raw.  He's going to a nice bench piece for us I think once he develops a bit more.

Yes he can shoot the 3 but the real trick is getting them to go in. Which he hasn't mastered yet.  I like Ellison as a four year player and the DJ comparison is apt but 4 turnovers and 5 fouls in 15 minutes is awful and no one should kid themselves that it isn't. He was a disaster yesterday.

Watching this team is like going to work. Do it now because it feels like my job. Of course if you like ugly basketball it is quite pleasurable.
