He's having trouble penetrating with the zone. His hops don't seem sufficient to finish over bigs.

Honestly, think he needs to focus on driving and finishing AND GETTING TO THE LINE. Right how he just drives and gets pushed off balance. He needs to get to the line.

Should be getting 8-10 pts a game solely from FTs. We aren't getting enough FTs as a team either.
I think he needs to go into the contact. He fades and tosses up that little runner too much. Go into the contact and he will get the call most likely.

Exactly. Seek to create contact instead of avoid it. Kid needs to play to his strengths.

Kind of applies to Edwards too, just not sure he's tough enough at the moment to play that way. His strengths should be slashing/driving/cutting and offensive rebounding/put backs.
