Drawing fouls is a learned skill. It doesn't happen overnight. He will have to learn how and when to initiate contact.


Agree. Never thought our SF's would all need therapy ... but man, what a work in progress. Beas was off before hurting ankle, wes has been a mess, and DW has found a few bumps in the road as well. Bright spot is they all have upside - I think. With 10 games in, we got some game, but the next 10 games we'll have 2-3 guys returning to action. RA will have his hands full.

It'll be interesting to see what we do to declutter and upgrade by the dealine ... we need consistency right now - plain and simple. Beas has the most tools ... he can be a chump or get us over the hump.

1 for 24 on threes since that great game he had vs San Antonio, its gotta be getting to the point where Adelman is just going to straight up forbid him from shooting threes

He looks great when he's aggressive and taking it to the basket. Funny what a pump fake can do.

I guess he did'n't have an off-season after his rookie season, so that could've hurt his progress. Hopefully Adelman can work with him and get him back on track.
