Josh needs to learn from Ben

Josh Hagins is quicker than Ben Dillard and can handle the ball better. And Josh had 876 minutes of playing time compared with 714 for Ben. And yet Ben shot far more FTs than Josh (91 to 63). Josh is "settling" for a 3-point shot too often. perhaps because it is the easier choice. He shot 34% from the arc on the year, but he can be a far better shooter than that if he would make the defenders more wary of his driving to the basket. Ben Dillard is not a slashing type guard, but he knows how to do it, and he shoots FTs very well, and he can help get the other team in foul trouble. He will shoot the 3 (maybe he ought to do it more), but he also makes the other team pay with fouls.
