And yeah, Collison needs to stop dropping his shoulders and sulking when things don't go well. Get after it!

In other news, Mayo seems to have come back down to earth. Both of our guards are being trapped and having a bit of trouble responding.

The only reason Murphy is a better rebounder is because he doesn't do anything else. He doesn't rotate defensively and he doesn't challenge shots. Wright rotates and challenges and that makes rebounding tougher. There is no doubt in my mind that wright would be a better rebounder than Murphy if he didn't defend at all and just got into rebounding position early.

Not to mention, Murphy's rebounding numbers weren't very good the past couple of years anyways.
