I bet Ed starts finishing before it is all said and done (hopefully sooner rather than later). Smart seems really impressed with ED calling him the "poster child for what we are trying to do here". With comments like that from the Head Coach its hard to imagine Ed riding the pine anytime soon.
If he can't finish against a D2 school, how is he going to finish against a D1 school other than Bethune Cookman? With the depth of our bench this year, I just don't see where Nixon is going to get his playing time once Skeen and Saintil are eligible. We are loaded at the 2 guard. Nixon right now would be third string at best behind Rozzell and Gavin. That's not even factoring in Daniels or Theus if Theus plays any at the 2 guard spot. If you go small and play him at the 3 spot, he's once again third string behind Burgess and Gwynn. The point guard position and the 4 spot are not options. You have Joey and Theus at the point. I would not be surprised if Grayson red shirts. At the 4 spot you have Kirill, Skeen, Saintil and Hinton.
I just see Nixon as the odd man out on this team if he can't drive to the basket and finish. I just don't see what everyone else sees in him. He now a junior and I just don't see the improvement.
