Not necessarily hard to impress, but perhaps I had very unrealistic expectations of him.
Never the less my comment was based on 23 games, not 8. He has definitely improved significantly. Maybe not the offensive player I thought he was going to be, based on what CMC said?
"Donovan Dent, let's just be [honest], he changes things," Cronin said. "He changes the world for your team offensively. You go into every game knowing that you have a guy that can just dominate on the offensive end. My challenge to him is consistency, work ethic, practice habits -- the things I think will get him to the NBA. ... He definitely changes the world when you have one of the best point guards in the country."
"He shoots the ball way better than I thought he did," Cronin said. "But then, when you look at his numbers from last year, he shot it well last year. And that was the reason none of us recruited him coming out of high school. Nobody in the Pac-12 recruited him."
