He has barely been playing lately (which is a mystery to me since he is the only low post player on the roster that can make a non put-back basket). He played well at the end. What you are asking of him in that situation is ridiculous. Our juniors and seniors haven't shown anything close to that kind of savvy decision making in crunch time.
What I would like from our big men is to stop trying to take charges and start defending the rim. This goes back to Austin and Davies and just neuters our interior defense.
