Well, Malcolm still tries to push and dribble the ball up court for 6 turnovers. He's not a freshman. Malcolm and Bates accounted for 11 of the 19 turnovers.
That's on coach for allowing so much freedom and playmaking by non-ballhandlers. When Duren gets a defensive board he gets the ball to a ball handler. Basic fundamentals taught by his previous coaches.
Until coach truly decides to regain control of player's actions, this team will never fulfill its true potential. Oh well...
I have said it several times. I have no idea why Malcolm thinks he is Nikola Jokic on the court and tries to play make like the Joker. Malcolm has no business ever dribbling the ball.
Bates regressed last night. He went from looking fantastic playing team ball against Cincy to looking horrible playing 1 on 1.
I said in the game thread that Penny just looked like depressed clown on the sideline. We are missing free throws, making egregious turnovers a middle school team would not make and all the while Penny is standing on the sideline with his arms crossed and completely expressionless.
I don't think Bates really regressed. In the Cincy game there were other players making plays. Not so much in this game so he forced things to try and help the team since no one else was. 12 points, 7 rebounds to go along with those turnovers but 0 assists. which is telling. It's going to be a process with him. It's all about how much he forces it.
Malcolm is what he is. He's got the yin and yang thing going. He throws a great pass and follows it up by a terrible pass. He blocks a layup without fouling and then commits a touch foul 30 feet from the basket. He dunks it and then airballs it. Some games it's all bad stuff. Some games it's mostly good stuff. A lot of the time it's both in the same game.
