No offense but pump fakes and new moves ain't his problem. Kid hasn't grown into his frame yet. He's too thin and lacks the physicality and strength to really compete against teams with mature length like Illinois and some of the teams in this league. He's just not physically or mentally ready yet. And that's a problem for us.
Not sure what Barnes was thinking when he went all in on this kid instead of taking a proven entity like Gillespie's mate from Maryland. Maybe it was an ego thing? Just wanted to be associated with KD II? If we think Ament is struggling now, just wait until conference play starts and he hits that freshman wall. Heck, I expected everyone to hit the Barnes wall playing the type of defense he demands, but it doesn't look like that will be a problem for this years team. They're no where near Barne's level defensively. Not sure this bunch has that in them to be honest.
