Derkack needs to get benched

I think the kid is athletic, quick, hustles, has hops and can run but needs to translate those abilities into basketball play. He has poor form on shots, poor judgment on when to shoot and when to pass, finishes poorly at the rim, inconsistent at the FT line and needs to move better without ball and when guarding man without ball.

He’s a flawed player but has ability you can’t teach and needs to improve abilities you can.

Let’s see if this sends a message and resets his mindset to earn mins.

This is a good and accurate assessment of his game. Not sure why the staff can’t make tweaks to his game, teach him to limit his bad drives and shots, maybe they have been trying to get that message to him and he is not listening. That would explain the benching. The guy has assets that can help, but he has plenty of liabilities as well.

That's a bold statement.

In terms of overall fundamental basketball skills (dribbling, catching, passing, FTs and shooting), as terrible Derkack is, Myles J #15 was far worse, as were most 5s. Myles was a defensive space eater and adequate rebounder. Am not sure if those traits make him a better basketball player. He was an afterthought on O here and 100% excluded at UCLA and mostly not allowed to touch the ball in the front court there.
