he tried to do the things he did in high school and they didn't work. He was overmatched athletically and had a bunch of turnovers. That cost him confidence. So, the coaching staff tried to give him a role, spot up shooter, which he wasn't consistent enough at to earn significant time.
Early on, he was lost on defense. He'd lose his man and get washed in screens and the next thing you knew, the other team was shooting an open basket. I thought he worked really hard to overcome that and be a guy who could give you a few good minutes at a time on D. Kudos to him for that.
