Josh Hagins is not shooting well this year from the floor. I am sure that is frustrating to him, and probably also to the staff, because he has been a decent shooter throughout his career. But right now Josh is doing the thing this team critically needs to be done: taking care of the ball and distributing it to his teammates. This team is not going to be a dominant rebounding team, and so far, at least, we have been only an OK shooting team. So we are not going to win games that way. How we are going to win games is by keeping turnovers to a minimum and making our offense as efficient as it can be and by playing suffocating defense, and that is exactly what Josh is doing. Josh is our only four-year senior, and he is our starting point guard, so this is his team in a sense.
What we do NOT need Josh to do is to think that he has to be The Man offensively, even though he is scoring at a good clip. This team has lots of weapons, and it is Josh's job to make sure we have lots of firepower; and he has done that superlatively well so far. Nice job, Mr. Hagins!
