Hey guys, I read this forum daily, but rarely post... not sure why.
But the effort has been abysmal
What this team needs are players who want to take control of the game. SK did it with scoring, JJ did it with defense. I would love to see someone try to take control on both ends. This team needs an Eric Hicks. Someone who will grind out every play.
I know everyone discussed the balance in this team coming into the season, and so far this season we have seen that any one player can put up a career night any game... But we need a leader. Someone consistent at both ends of the floor.
Ellis has a high shooting percentage, and could be that player when he wants to play defense too. If only the effort was there.
I give a lot of props to DeBerry. He is not the most skilled ball player or best athlete, but he at least is willing to bang and use his power.
Please, somebody take the reigns, set an example, and lets get 4 or 5 guys out there who we don't want to take off the floor because we know they will give us everything they have day in and day out. Please.
