One area Q needs to improve:

He needs to learn to finish at the rim in traffic. He's actually worse than Malik in this area I think. But man he's got that it factor that I've missed in every single one of our players under Ray.

Also, this is the latest in the season I've actually not been pissed off at our basketball team in probably 6 or 7 years.

People never use the rim as protection anymore. It's a lost art. I think that is in part because kids pick up their dribble too early when penetrating towards the basket.

Q will throw it down. He is a better player than Malik. Did I just really say that.

Q is far and away a better finisher than Malik. Q is more consistent, but Malik can really get going from deep. I think the thing that both freshmen guards need to learn is how to draw fouls to get them warmed up when their shots aren't falling-- they should never finish with only five (or fewer) points.
