[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129444703, member: 1754664"] No doubt, Adrian finding his freshman form (and confidence?) would help. Miles and Carter simply have not demonstrated they can be consistently dependable. Carter has a low % for someone who leads a team in attempts and is a liability (shooting, he's a good defender and unlike Harris did, doesn't seem to let poor shooting affect the rest of his game) when he is not one of his too occasional hot streaks. the stats on Miles could not better show how inconsistent and unreliable he is. Logic tells us that if a person shoots 50% for 1/3 of a season and shoots 36% overall, the remainder of the season he did not shoot well. That he has shot below 22% for roughly the first 1/4 of this season, means that except for maybe 10 games out of 40+ he has been very unreliable. Just saying the shots will begin to fall for people for people with no track record of being able to sustain consistent shooting does not make it true. A team where Miles and Carter account for nearly half of the 3 pt. attempts probably needs to accept that even with some improvement, outside shooting will remain a liability. It's probably smarter to work on being less reliant than think wishful thinking leads to a significant change. [/QUOTE]
