He showed up and balled.  Sadly he really had no help.

Yeah it was nice he hit shots..but he also blew the game with some horrible mistakes at the end which could have all been correctable if he was coached to slow the heck down. Stop dribbling. Pass the ball quickly. But the coaches allowed him to make the same egregious mistakes every game with no adjustments. Unreal.

I'm not sure what mistakes you are referring to but without Japlin you would have lost by 30.  Dude was the only one keeping you in the game.  He was nails.

Both things can be true. Go back and see where is 4 turnovers happened. CRITICAL points in the game. He was a good spot shooter who made some of the dumbest basketball plays throughout the course of this career. And I think a lot has to do with coaches not having the stones to have a hard conversation with him.
