You make a good point about how quickly some came to criticize Gu but he had demonstrated an ability to play at this level by earning a starting role at Va Tech as a frosh. He did not shoot the three well his soph season, but did a lot of other things well and was playing with a really good team that year. Right now, these frosh are (or should be) playing with as little pressure as they will their entire careers. It's pretty obvious this team is done for this season.
What frustrates me about Douglas in particular is that he has consistently been able to get into the lane and rather than pulling up and hitting shots, he's kicking everything out to guys who are not even being left wide open. As I watch, I'm practically begging him to get more aggressive offensively. He needs to become more of a scorer to develop any confidence out there but he appears to be playing scared all the time. At least Landrum has been more aggressive of late and I can forgive "aggressive mistakes" but he definitely needs to develop 3 point shooting range to be an effective offensive player at this level. I do think Ethan will be fine if he can get healthy and stonger and has a better supporting cast around him. I really wish Ray was healthy so he could have been getting more minutes this year.
