It's a reaction to the failure to meet unfair expectations. He's regularly heralded as the "top 3 point shooter in

college basketball," so naturally we all expect something like 50-60% FG %.  Yes, I'm exaggerating, but that's sort of how it feels I think.

My frustration with him is that he seems as easily stifled in pressure as a junior as when he was a freshmen.  If a good defender keys on him, like most people, he becomes far less effective, even absent.

He is a big part of this team, and I'm a fan.  But I would admit that my frustration with his gameplay is probably due to overinflated expecatations on my part.

At least in the case of Spencer Johnson, Spencer would rebound well and make a reasonable attempt to find a shot closer to the basket.  My recollection is that Knell doesn't have much in his game to replace that, but that's okay.  We need him on the floor.  Just need others to step up to fill that Spencer Johnson role.
