Clear difference in Horford vs Smoove

[y2kenta]

Just look at one snippet of the game last night vs NJN and take into consideration both guys' history.

At one point last night, AL Horford got the ball in the 3 straight possesions vs Okur. Al did basically the same same move all three times (hard drive to the right + right hand jump hook) and scored on all three, with the last being an And1. That's a smart basketball player go to your move until the defense stops it.

Josh, on the other hand, seems to be in the game trying moves/shots too much instead of going to his "go-to move(s)" If Josh would play within the 15ft range and in, he'd develop toward his ceiling rather than stay stagnant and underachieve his full potential.

Al has shown that he's a winner and a very smart, mature player that understands the game. Josh has the high confidence in his game, but chooses to try to do too much and ends up doing things out his range.

One of these threads again? Oh man, 3 games in the season and threads are already popping off.

Well, let's just put this on the table. Josh doesn't have a goto move that he trusts. He trusts shooting from outside (for whatever reason). If the coach is not benching him for doing it, he will continue to do it. It's Wood's fault. Woody should have stopped the behavior when he first saw it. Instead, Woody was so caught up in how Josh't contributes otherwise that he let it go. Horf has a goto move, but Horf (to this point) has not been a guy we can consistently throw it in to and count on him scoring or getting to the line. Horf would rather pass out. Last night, on that 4th time (after the timeout) we went to Horf, when Humphries was on him... Horf = Turnover.

LD just has to bench josh like how woody did. If he wants to act like a baby, he needs to be treated like a baby.
