Coleman did not take care of the ball. All he ever did was drive to the bucket and kick it out to the opposing team. He never shot above 30% here.

I don't think he's any better than AJ. I couldn't care less what his stats at Samford are.

You can shite on the FG% all day, but in his last year he had a far better AST/TO ratio than anybody on this team. Not sure what you're remembering.

The point is, Coleman didn't just come in and dribble the ball arse-backwards and burn up the entire shot clock when the ball was in his hands. And sadly I almost prefer when he does that, because whenever Junior tries to do anything with the ball he either puts up a wild shot or turns over the ball in a very untimely manner. Coleman was also someone that could always get open and close out a game from the FT line. Give me Coleman every day of the week.

Not to mention, we played an AWFUL pace for Coleman's game. I wouldn't say we're run and gun, but this pace would've fit Coleman's game a hell of a lot better.
