I don’t think anyone thought that Gavin would have the type of year that he has had. I think most of us were counting on him to average double digits, and be somewhat of a replacement for the loss of Cam Spencer.
I think part of Gavin‘s issues in terms of his scoring are related to the fact that he is trying to do too much. In high school, it was easy to shoot over the top of defenders. He clearly did not have to develop a step back he did not have to make athletic mid-air adjustments while shooting the ball. These attempts to do more than he is capable, have destroyed his confidence.
He could be a big part of this team’s success next year if goes back to basics..
Obviously, he has been working very hard on his defense and rebounding. On offense, if he can be a spot up shooter, who simply has to catch and shoot with his shoulders squared to the rim, I think you will see a huge turnaround. With the two scorers we have coming in, I anticipate that Gavin will get plenty of open shots in rhythm.
