A good reminder of how much Derryck has grinded over the past 6 months (finishing high school alone was an epic undertaking in the condensed timeline) just to be where he is. The kid has taken on a huge load on and off the court. The commentary by Jason Williams adds interesting perspective.

Well that solves it.

He just has tired legs.

We need to start metering his usage or he'll be burned out by march!

J/K. good read.

The team has a very nice long (10 day?) respite pretty soon, that should help him.

I'm not sure I would call my first exam period as a freshman at Duke a respite, but to each their own ;)

Seriously, though those 10 days mostly away from basketball and the 9 days between games from Dec 19th to Dec 28th (with some real time off) will likely help Derryck.
