He also has the "arrogance" (for lack of a better word)
that makes him think a particular pass is there, or a particular hole will not close fast. It is what good players have. While it works for many players most of the time, It can get people in trouble at times. When we see some turnovers trying to make some cross-court pass or 1-on1 backdowns or drives ... you hope that that talent wins out most of the time. It will. He is 19 and not as polished as he will be in the future. Lawal is also unpolished. Imagine if Lawal could harness that athleticism and combine it with more skill

We were also up by 5 points vs. UVA in the 2nd OT with 14 seconds to go

It's a Neo issue, Hammond needs to have the ball in his hands

While Neo made a bunch of those, many of his shots were 1-on-1
