He has tried to do too much on offense all season, and since he hasn't been able to execute at all on the offensive end lately, he has had mental meltdowns. It's incredibly annoying. This team, aside from Freeman, Aziz, Tribble and Dawson, is unacceptably weak mentally. They have zero leadership at the guard position, and that is why they constantly fall short of meeting their potential.

Did something change with the strength & conditioning program because of COVID? Groce's teams in his first several years were built like Linebackers & Strong Safeties. I haven't seen the same growth strength wise these past two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have zero leadership at the guard position, and that is why they constantly fall short of meeting their potential. If he didn't though, we wouldn't have anybody that would try creating on their own. Haven't looked at the stats, but I don't think he's necessarily inefficient. I think he has the talent...he's shown it, I just think he's naturally not aggressive and it doesn't appear he can turn it on consistently. The team just desperately needs a dynamic combo guard. It is the missing piece. Edited February 18, 2022 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 As much as we all love Freeman, he is uncoordinated as hell. Effectively gave up the game after being forced to foul after he whiffed whatever steal attempt that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
