‘Drew, a second. Hey man just wanted to say nice shooting out there lately. You’ve been making more than half your shots most games lately and sharing the ball at a nice clip too.

Your ability to knock down the mid-range and threes have kept us in games. We need you to continue to just stay in your role. Just keep nailing shots, but remember don’t be a hog.

The better chemistry you get with your teammates the better. Now I know you don’t need me to tell you all this, as you’ve been around the block, but the more work you get in in at practice with your teammates the better you guys will be out there. We need this offense to stay consistent and hasn’t been. This team has the potential to be great, and you’re a big part of that.

One more thing, you need to stick with your man better. I know this is your first time in this Syracuse zone, but you not getting to covering your man in time has cost us so many points this season, especially from three. This ending stretch isn’t going to be cake, so lead by example. You know what it takes to get where we want to go. Okay, I’ve had my say. Keep it up.
