He also said Travis played all last year with a bad groin & they wanted to get that taken care of. Coach Howland really likes Travis & think he can be a big part of this team next year.
Daniels is a good athlete and he has a nice looking stroke but he needs to overcome his propensity to disappear in games and I think he has poor hands. Not sure how you get better hands? I guess ball-handling drills and strengthening them but it could just be a lack of focus. Whatever it was he often fumbled the ball when passed to. This wasn't just Daniels either it was an epidemic during Rayball up and down the squad. Very poor dribbling, passing and shooting teams. Basically a lack of basic basketball skills. This next year we will be shocked to watch these same players under Howland. It won't even look like the same team.
