One player in particular is really struggling

[bonefish1]

Without naming names (it's obvious who I'm talking about) this guy is really hurting the team with his inability to hit an open shot. I think we can all be resigned to the fact that this guy is and will always be a spot up 3 pt shooter. He hasn't developed the ability to handle the ball or get to the rim. Ok, fine. But if that's what you're going to do, then you have have to hit some shots outside of garbage time.
Against iu, we had a 7 pt lead and the ball. This guy gets a wide open, and I mean wide open, look from 3 and can't knock it down. Stretching the lead to 10 at that point would have been huge.
Not sure if he's go the yips, lacks confidence, if it's a mechanics issue or what. But we don't need a more another Ethan Morton.

Nobody hit 3s in that game. Braden is 1 for 9 in his last 3 games. We kicking him out too?

There are two guys struggling to hit threes right now, but both are doing a lot of other things well. I don’t know what it will take for them to break out of their respective slumps, but I believe that they are good players and talented shooters and I like that Painter is being patient with them.
