I am surprised Coach does not insist that Roderick drive to the basket or shorten his length of shots on his initial possessions prior to launching the 17%- 3 ball.
If the shooting percentage has not increased in two games, it seems we should start one of our freshmen. With Towns or Clayton starting on paper we appear to be a stronger team.
I agree with this. I never thought that Roderick at his best was very consistent. He'd have a game every now and then when he'd be like Bean on steroids and hit a number of threes in a row and carrying the team, but on the average night he seemed to me not a reliable outside shooter. Now, every time he takes a shot I find myself shuddering even before the shot gets airborne. I was hoping this year for a more reliable and steady BenRod, but instead we have a player that seems to have regressed in virtually all phases of the game, except, perhaps, on defense. Recently he's blown layups with about the same frequency as three-point shots. I think it's time he slides down the bench until he gets out of his funk. I think we've wasted too much time waiting for him to "find himself."
