Darius Perry?
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
He apparently was late to the shootaround for the 2nd time this season, so he was held out of the game.
Coach Chris Mack continues to impress me. Discipline is a part of LIFE and if Perry can't provide his own, then it is good to see someone cares enough to provide it for him. It's a good lesson. Sure hope Perry understands and learns from it.
Pure guess, but I suspect VJ will end up leaving as a grad transfer (if he is in line to graduate), and Perry will either grow up or leave. I would prefer he grow up because he has the raw skills that coach Mack can sharpen with his teachings. It's really up to Perry.
Yeah I wonder if being late to shoot around is part of a negative pattern for Perry overall or just unfortunate isolated incidents. I would also love for him to find his game and place on this team under Coach Mack. He has the tools but not the maturity and mental aspect of the game...at least not yet. Hoping he can turn things around.
Yeah this one is just confusing. It seems he somehow went from a hustle guy giving you all he has to a guy that doesn't show up on time. Got to remember these guys are young. Hoping he can turn his season around somewhere in the upcoming schedule.
I think Perry’s overall play and attitude can be summed up in two words.... Christian Cunningham.
I actually think Mack getting Cunningham and Cunningham playing so well as thrown Perry for a loop. I believe Perry thought he was going to be a key figure or have a much larger role on this team. I think we all did.
I think Cunningham’s play has impacted Perry. Perry never thought he would get beat out by a grad transfer from Samford. It might sound crazy but makes the most sense.

This may be the issue. That and then Fore kind of pushing him out of the SG really did seem to break Perry. Since hitting the bench he's forced and been pretty much out of control.
As crazy as it sounds and looks right now - he has time to adjust, and contribute. He's also one injury away from having the role expanded.
It appears VJ is contributing by focusing on rebounding and defense. He gave us good minutes yesterday.
Perry and VJ’s level of play have been similar. Both are a shell of their former selves and both are lacking confidence in a huge way.
