I'm sure he tries hard, and he's come a long way since day one on campus, but I agree. I feel like Pearl is rewarding him for his efforts w/ playing time. However, his skills put him at the bottom of the list. Him, Pearl Jr. and McBee seem to be holding this team back (offensively). Throw in Cam and Scotty not being consistent from game to game, and you've got yourself a long season chalked full of losses.
On the bright side, I think Goins has turned into an amazing player. You rarely see him screw up, and he's been on fire from outside the arc.
