Amelia blog: Wait, what happened to ... Austin Hollins?

[BleedGopher]

per Amelia:

Every shooter goes through slumps, but unfortunately for the Gophers, this one has lingered for quite some time. On a team where outside shooting was already a weakness, even with Austin Hollins’ other production, his disappearance has been costly. He’s become a risky choice for the guy to take the last second shot. And when the Gophers struggle to penetrate a zone, the lack of enough outside threats falls partly on his shoulders as well.

Smith clearly respects Hollins a lot for the other things he does – the way he’s contributed in the midst of his slump with his hard-nosed defense and by doing other little things – but that the Gophers are so lacking in shooters right now is a fundamental problem.

I get frustrated when I go through cold snaps when playing in the gym by myself or with some friends for a while. I can only imagine what he's going through, having his shot leave him at such a crucial time of the year. It only takes a few though, and suddenly you're back in mode. But it's starting to get quite concerning how long this is lasting, and I wonder how much those migraines Tubby referred to are influencing this as well.

Whatever's going on, it's affecting his entire game. His defense has fallen off, too, and he's fouling more.

He's a shell of his former self at this point.

More sloppy TOs too.
