The biggest issue with him is he tends to not show up after talking a big game.

You don’t go on record about circling opponents and keeping receipts and then shoot 0/3 in a blowout loss.

Guy just needs to not talk if he can’t back it up when it matters most.

Granted he has had some insane games and I love his talent. Just wish he wasn’t so streaky.

The defense by some of you is unreal

I defend him from those who say he’s not even a D1 player. That’s crazy

But if you ignore the shots that he made, then he didn't make any shots!

I looked at a full 2 month stretch, the most important 2 month stretch. Whatever

I'm assuming the 25% from the FT is being misstated as he DID only shoot

He injured his foot around that time. I'm sure that's probably a major reason

Because someone misspoke about his numbers. His 3 pt shooting sucked to end the

Sure, but he was 4/9 at UCF. 1/5 at home vs. UCF. I doubt that's because UCF

I think having him come off the bench with a big green light from 3 would work.

Yes, my frustration is with Pope not Knell. Pope needed to start someone else

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

I wouldn’t even say “stifling defense”

I don't think he's ever been called that. hyperbole much?

The involvement in technicals is a feature, not a bug. I like his scrappiness.
