Derek Needham is Cooling Off


Stags star guard Derek Needham has struggled out of the gate so far in the season. Although he is the only Stag to score in double figures in both games he is shooting 8-31 from the floor to go along with a 3-16 percentage from behind the arc.

The Stags leading scorer shot 38 percent from the floor last year and 30 percent from three. He also has 11 turnovers in the first two games with only 8 assists. The guard has scored in double figures in all but one of his collegiate games.

I know it is only the first two games but the game against Sacred Heart scared me a little. Last year he had 14 assists against the Pioneers this year he only had 4. It's really hard when your best scorer is your point guard. When Siena had Ronald Moore, all they needed was clutch baskets and alot of assists. Needham needs to be in the top of the team in scoring and a leader, and a passer, and s steal machine.
