He's obviously saving himself for the NBA. I guess he is a lock for the lottery and way too good to exert himself and risk injury as a Memphis Tiger.

It's no longer politically correct for a coach to use the phrase "sacrifice your body" in any sport.

Adonis tries to jook guys with semi-fancy dribbling and head-bobs, rather than taking it to the rack.

And he's been fading away waaaaay too much on his mid-range shots. Maybe he bought into Smith's preseason "Adonis has become a sharp-shooter" talk?

Adonis can come in as back up at the 3 and sometimes 4. If he brings hustle and energy and AGGRESSIVENESS he stays in longer. When he doesnt, we replace him as quickly as the starter is ready to get back in the game.
Chris can swing between 3 positions off the bench without any loss in tempo.

Still stuck with the backups of Stan/Ferro for center but every team in the country is stuck with less than stellar backups for bigmen.

When? The guy has more talent than anyone on the floor yet he doesn't try to penetrate or create shots for others. Talk about not living up to the hype.......

Should be real soon. Take a look at the schedule.

I'd just like an 8 rebound game. The heck with scoring. I bet Spoon has had more 8 rebound games and he got roasted on here.

If he thinks he's going to the NBA after this season he's delusional. He's not even a good college player right now.

I think he is really atrocious right now. I think he'll come into his own in conference play.

He needs to... So does Chris. No confidence...

If he wore a "where's Waldo" caps at least I would know when he's on the court.

This is the major problem for the team,if we could get anything outta Chris and Adonis we'd be a way better team.

For the millionth time, please look at Chris' entire stat line each game before throwing him in this, he is busting his tail, just not shooting well.

It's that lack of "KILL" that these guys have.
Need to feed them raw meat and gunpowder.

We also need point productivity from Chris if its from better shooting or getting fouled.

Josh should move Adonis to 2 guard. It worked with Joe.
