Stirtz is killing this team

It was no accident that the lead was cut when he and his defensive indifference were on the bench.

Offensively, he's super limited because he lacks aggression and doesn't like to be touched in any way shape or form. The Illinois players guarding him had the easiest assignment ever. He would rather defer to others to make things happen and puts them in horrible positions because he can't or won't ever try to turn the corner. He should live at the FT line but he doesn't because that would mean that he might need to initiate contact.

The only time he wanted to be the man was when he hoisted horrible off balance 3s at the end. HERO ball.

BMC is gonna have to sit him down when he's being passive. Not fouling at the end with the clock running out was idiotic. The team can win without him on the court whether he wants to believe it or not.

I want to agree with this but I'm not sure he is. He's not really elite at anything.


Ball handling: B- (handles aren't great. got ripped today which you never see happen with an elite PG)

Penetration: F (he hasn't beat anyone off the dribble once we stopped playing horrible competition. plays completely upright)

Passing: B- (pocket passes usually putting teammates in horrible positions, can't penetrate so can't setup teammates)

Shooting: B (Can sometimes get hot from 3 and the occasional runner)

Rebounding: F

Defense: F-

Athleticism: C-

Leadership: Who knows. Seems like the offense goes stagnant when he's in and we're playing a good team. Not fouling when down with :20 left in the game...seems not overly cerebral for a PG. Has a too cool for school air about him which is why he isn't as gritty/blue collar as everyone else.

If he keeps playing like this he's not gonna get drafted. The lottery pick thing is obviously now completely off the table.
