It's like magic. You let a guy who's pressing/mental mess start the game watching, and he comes in and for the FIRST time all season, he's just taking the easy play every time - and looks like the player we recruited.
No stupid drives or forced flip ********.
Now, I'm sure we'll still see some stupid lapses, but it's easily the best pure basketball half he's played all season long.
For a struggling player, the game can be so simple. Work hard, and take the easiest play available.
He didn't "create" a single play for himself aside from offensive rebounds or loose ball pickups - but was ready on catch & and he had his best scoring half of the season.
As much as I hate Cal right now, he preaches this nonstop to his "scoring" stars.
