He had 1 good game then took a nose dive. I guess that's technically starting the season strong, but the book was out on him fairly quickly. He did struggle getting past the 1st defender and the few times that he was able to turn the corner he either miss got blocked. That's why all of his shots are deep, because he can't create space.
Its true that he didn't turn the ball over a lot, but that doesn't mean he was a good passer. The offense stalled any time he was on the court and he couldn't make passes into the post. He eventually became so much of a liability that Bruce benched him in he 2nd half of the SEC title game. He had the production of a walk on, we have to stop star gazing and see the evidence of a full season at this level.

I just plainly disagree with much of that. Jared was benched for Ronnie Johnson in a few games his freshman year in lower stakes games. It doesn’t happen at the same time for everybody.
If he had just made the shots he made in high school we would all be singing a different tune. And maybe he never gets the confidence back and succeeds at this level but I’m not writing the guy off yet at all.

Holloway didn't look like a PG to me.
It's hard to make a PG.
His lack of strength, size and athletic ability kept him from finishing better at the rim. If he can get stronger and a little more athletic his game will get better...at the 2. He's just not really a 1.
