that body language comment was specifically directed towards

Neo... and I'm not attempting to bash him, he's obviously frustrated bc his shot isn't falling.. but he's wearing that frustration for everyone to see For my eye test anyway.. during this slump especially, I would just like to see him in more of an attacking mode on offense, using his size to make plays going to the basket. I get it that, even though he's 6'9 that may not be the strong part of his game at this point in his career. The speed and the physicality of the ACC is likely a big jump from his time playing overseas.. but I was always taught if you're in a slump, you get outta that by playing lights out on D, trying to get easy baskets in transition.. and you try to get to the FT line.

Correlation is not causation regarding Neo's pine time.

Agreed my point is the fans calling for him to be benched are not supported

That's fair.

there is definitely something your metrics dont track

Not sure your point? Did you see VT guys with bad body language? Or lack

Yeah, Hammond is almost a foot shorter than Neo

What you were taught is a hoops truism.

My analysis, VT should recruit more players with long last names starting
