His play did improve. Of course, he got more minutes. But he was still very inconsistent. The first Houston game he was MIA until that last shot. The next Houston game, he was big. The Miss State game might have been his best of the year. But against CSU the game before, he was not good. Of the 4 NIT games, he had 1 great game, 1 good game, and 2 ineffective games.

It is not as simple as A-lo was holding Boogie back. Boogie struggles with his psyche and it effects his game. Maybe a return to the West Coast will help him mentally.

It's VERY simple, Alo is NOT good enough to lead most D-1 programs, He's a serviceable backup (at best) But because of the lifelong relationship....CPH gave him the keys over a dynamic guard with off the charts abilities.....Alo would be having The game of his life, If he scored 15-17 pts in a game....Boogie does this in halves, consistently.....If Boogie isn't scoring, he's still a threat and defenses have to honor that.....Alo hurt our offense with hesitation and no confidence in his shot....His release is slow and methodical.....he will NEVER be a scorer and that puts tremendous pressure on EVERYONE else....Our offense was COMPLETELY different with Boogie....He also shouldn't be blamed for inconsistencies when there is no one backing him up and the pace that we play....Remember the Houston game where just prior to the half, Boogie was on the bench for about 40 seconds....He was exhausted

You don't want to quote Boogie stats. Sooner or later you'll come to the one where he had 0 assists in 16 games. That doesn't sound much like a Point Guard.
