Exactly. It's a false narrative that guys are afraid to shoot because they might be pulled. Barnes rarely if ever has pulled a guy for taking an open shot. IN FACT, he's on the record multiple times saying he wants guys to shoot when they have a good open shot. That being said, both Gillespie and Boswell pass up far too many wide open 10 footers in the lane by trying to make some cute pass
“He never was”. Don’t be such a sad sack throw in the towel whiner. If you watched him earlier this year, in his Freshman year, against Purdue, and his effort against Edey; you can’t get to that conclusion. He’s missed some practice the last two weeks, he’s definitely struggling to find his way post injury, but cmon, Schleprock. Give it a minute.
Then rest him. Two things are obvious. He didn’t hit the conditioning program like he should have. I expected to see a much more developed upper body/ Last I checked, they have a weight at Pratt. Two, he’s discombobulated. He doesn’t look “right.” They let the Cade shoulder thing linger on over the course of two seasons only to finally have to go to the knife. I have a feeling something is up with Estrella that isn’t going to just fix itself.
Agreed and I love CRB and what he has accomplished here...it's just weird how we are trying to take our best rebounding post who is also our best scorer per 100 possessions but we only play him 9 min today (and 13.5 for the season) apparently because he's not an enforcer like Uros and drawing a flagrant foul every other game.
