It is now Wednesday, May 12 at about 10:30 on the east coast.
Yes, yes, yes! You know what JZL, I arose this morning thinking the same thing about Cole.
Please don't get me wrong, he has been very good filling in for Markelle, but at times he tries to do too much, especially lately.
I love it when he pushes the ball, but last night he dribbled too much and at times played hero ball. What I mean by that is several times he went crashing to the board with defenders all around him. He was determined to shoot the ball anyway and threw the ball up toward the basket from the side. He had zero chance of making that shot with taller defenders surrounding him with arms straight up blocking his view.
It's a wonderful thing when point guards are good at shooting the ball, but they must be as good in the assist category.
Cole definitely has some things to work on in the off season.
