No doubt about it, Vernon has turned the corner and become a team player and our leader. And the team is much better for it.
However it is not lost on me that Vernon cannot (or will not) make a Lay-up. He is shooting less than 48% from the field, which on its face isn't so bad. However when you look to see that 95% of his "shots" are lay-ups, and he's missing over 55-65% of his layups. Even with the fact these are usually contested, something is not right.
Vernon, you do a terrific job of penetrating, but after that its turn- over city. That because you miss lay-ups, and no one is there to rebound your throw-up! You need to "shoot" lay ups!! Don't just throw the ball up when you penetrate, thats doing "throw-ups", not shooting "layups". It makes me want to throw up that you are not making lay-ups.! You should be killing them with three point opportunities. If I hadn't seen this now for 6 games I wouldn't say anything. But its become glaring.
I'm old and I can do throw-ups Any one on this thread can do "throw ups". Pay me the $50,000, I'll do throw ups! (clearly, the penetration would be then be the problem).
In any event, this should be fixable. If only 70% of the layups were made, it would have changed every outcome this year.
Vernon, you're our hero, make your lay-ups!
