Seriously all mental with the guy and its clear as day his confidence was completely shot with Skiles. He slowly has started to look more confident and comfortable after Skiles was canned, and he now is coming off his two best games of the season b2b.
We'll see, I'm not buying that. You're telling me it took Ersan 6 games to get over Skiles and then he plays as good as he ever has before? This isn't the Ersan you are getting for the rest of the season. He is never going to be a 20/10 guy for 40 games, it's never going to happen. He's been that guy 2 games. He was not that guy 6 other games under Boylan.

News to you? That was his calling card for three seasons until his contract year. Then he starts off inconsistent this season and that's supposed to not be his norm? Sure, if he's playing how you expect him to play he's consistent, looks like our expectations may have been a little high.
I didn't say Ersan is going to put up 20/10 the rest of the season, I said I'm confident we'll see the Ersan of last year, which is a 14-9 stretch four. His ability to stretch the floor is really valuable, which is why we're like 11-3 when he scores 10+ points. Taking 1 of our 2 or 3 good shooters off this team would make us a lot worse, even if we would add a player who can create for himself in the post.
If a player can maintain a level of play for a whole season, I'd consider that consistent. Ersan made a big jump last season, and you can still see that this season. He just lost confidence with his shot and is just starting to get it back. We'll see how these next couple game before the asb turn out.
