Dude is a force with a smooth offensive game and he needs to find his way on the court more. Not sure if he's needs to hold up more on his end of the bargain, or if CAG needs to play him more minutes in lieu of Mikesell, Jordan, Dwayne, etc.... but some way they need his productivity inside Improve those 3 numbers and I'll take my chances.

Totally agree with your second two points.

Cunningham and Crutcher have improved. Josh is 22-28 his last 6 games, almost 80%. He has a bad hand to start the season. Crutcher has only shot 6 free throws in the last 8 games and is 6-6.
