I don't remember him having a turnover problem in high school the times I covered Lake Orion so maybe once he gets more comfortable it will go away. But he does have to work on his ball-handling. Also I'm glad you enjoy the blog.Dave Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613207206667934078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-3082942639059839192008-12-05T11:40:00.000-08:002008-12-05T11:40:00.000-08:00Defintely appreciate the depth of the coverage you...Defintely appreciate the depth of the coverage you've been proficing on OU and the Summit League. Good insights on the UMKC game. I agree especially that Maynard has to cut down on the turnovers. I don't want him to get too tentative, but taking away playing time might be the only way to drill home the point. That said, Maynard is going to be a hell of a player.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-65035638946181594062008-12-05T09:52:00.000-08:002008-12-05T09:52:00.000-08:00Eric,Thanks for the kinds words.

He was the team's leading rebounder last year and worked the offensive glass. Hopefully he can return soon and be 100 percent because it has to be tough for a senior to sit at home for two weeks while his team is out on the road.Dave Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613207206667934078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038285743523448141.post-16483436590268558882008-12-04T22:27:00.000-08:002008-12-04T22:27:00.000-08:00Waterstradt to me seems like a bench player, not a...Waterstradt to me seems like a bench player, not a starter. I just wish at times that Benson and Hudson played with more fire-emotion, but controlled. They're not as aggressive as I'd like to see. Going to the hoop with power and passion, with a mission. They get into foul trouble and I'm not sure why, maybe it's the new zone defense, not sure. This is definitely a work in progress but I like the talent. The lack of rebounding puzzles me and I'm not sure if this feeds into my observation that OU's bigs aren't that aggressive. I think having Nelson back will improve this, or should at least. I'm sure glad the team will get some time off to rest and work on some things.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963962819810995863noreply@blogger.com
