Haanif... Your Table is Ready.

Time to step up, kid. We need you next year. You are the difference between us being a contender and an also ran. Junior year is time to make some noise.

I have no idea what happened to him his year and no idea if we will ever see Frosh Hani again.

He just needs to put in hard work this summer

Secret injury?  In his own head?  We may never know.

If he transfers he would be going to a school worse than MU

Why would he transfer? No elite program would have him at this point and no one is blocking his PT. He just needs to get back in the right head space and become the plate this team will need next year.

I understand that. Perhaps he simply is not good enough?

Out of curiosity, what do you think he was up to for the last 9 months?

His issues are not effort related. The kid works hard. How effort seems to be there. His ability, or maybe his mental state, seem to be the problem, unfortunately.

He very well may, Florida (aka home) is quite a bit warmer and might find a lower-level school to transfer too and play right away OR he may stay, put the work in and make us eat some crow burgers

Go get it done kid!

Right hand. Mid-rage pop. Rainbow.

A lot to learn, and work on. 

My fear is that he can't progress.

Have a great summer, Haani. Work your ass off!

I'd really like to see a "back to the basket" type game, like Alando Tucker.

A lot of his trouble came with indecision while driving. Got caught in the air a lot.

If he can run the baseline in our offense, and post up guys the way Tucker did, he could find a nice role offensively.

But first and foremost, he needs to be the heart of our defense. Every game, he should be defending guys like Thornwell, and locking them down.

I think he'll have a nice bounce back next season.

Agree. Needs more strength to be like Tucker. And his defense needs a LOT of work, like everyone else on our team.

I think his biggest problem was just nerves or lack of confidence. Teams guarded him like a big, knowing he wouldn't take an open jumper or even use the space to drive. His confidence and aggression were on empty for all of conference play, maybe longer.

Cheatham has to figure out a way to either play with or compliment Rowsey & Howard, I think that's his issue. He has to define what his game is, because the talent is there, kid can play. MU doesn't need him taking 3's, if he can drive/distribute and improve on the defensive end, that's where he'd serve MU best.

Cheatham just needs to take a million pull-up jumpers this offseason.  That's where his success will be in the future.  Get pretty good at the pull-up, and you can make shots or dish to dunkers or 3 point bombers when challenged.  And work on that right hand.

I kind of wonder if it was the competition with those guys that set him back, though. When some new guys come in and take your playing time, that can rattle a guy. Seems possible here.

Yup, agree with all this. It'll help the entire offense tremendously if he can, opens things up. I don't think any players development this offseason is as important as his.

I like the kid, but I think he's an afterthought next year. His defense is good enough, but it's easily replaceable. His floor presence is simply not a positive right now.

I don't think he's a starter next year. I don't even know that I see him as the first option off the bench. I hope he can be the 15-16 version of himself, but I just don't see that happening.
