He played 38 minutes against Illinois and 36 against Maryland. Considering all of the responsibility that he has running the team, I feel like staying around 34 minutes would be ideal. The problem is that there is only one Braden.
Painter likes to have Jones and Morton in the game when Braden is out, so this is where I would really like to see a little more out of Ethan. He doesn’t need to be great, but if he could play like he did as a sophomore or in the first half of his junior year, it would be very helpful for this team. I know that he can shoot better than what we have seen thus far this season. I also know that if he could make him self break out of his slump he would. So I think he just needs to see the ball go in a little more. I was glad that he was taking some shots against Illinois because if he can have some success, I think it could go a long ways.
