They are good shots.  Coming in the flow of the Offense,off curls and screens. 
He is taking it to the hoop strong.  He needs to learn to finish better, and 
he nad all the other C's need to start getting some calls.  Same drives same 
calls.  (I am not one who beleives Refs cost games)

He had a coulple of good passes, some bad shots and some lazy shots.  He 
really needs to stay on the blocks
