    I agree and Chris Babb is Justus Thigpen

    I think Royce's FT shooting problems are still in his legs. He may put his legs in them a little bit but it is still inconsistent. His worst misses are still when he doesn't get up on his toes.

    Re: Ejim's hands

    Ejim just isn't a very coordinated athlete. When he's running, it always looks like he's on the verge of tripping over his own feet.
    I don't bring my own opinions, just attack others.

    Royce is pretty much guaranteed to miss a FT.

    You're right on here. Hopefully as he gets older this improves.

    In the post game radio interviews he said that was one of his focuses. He always gets these open 3 point looks but what he should do when he gets the ball is run in to the rim and get a dunk or layup or at worst take a much closer jump shot.

    We will forget who we are guarding in the post.
    We will miss at least three layups.

    I thought about saying airball a FT, but that isn't every game.

    Get him some contacts! I started wearing contacts in my jr year of hs and my eyesight is mostly fine without them. I really noticed the difference after a little while and it helped with hand eye coordination. Ie catching a basketball

    Every 3 Chris Babb misses is almost always short. That's one thing I always know will happen. Other than that I still like Babb. And on to Melvin everytime he shoots that corner 3 it is almost alway an air ball long that being said I still like Melvin too.

    This play is a play that scouts will drool at the mouth over. He passed it to Ejim(and he caught it) for the layup.

    Incredible play but it was his right hand.
