36 THE GAMECOCKS

“Josh had an excellent first year here at Carolina. The thing that surprised me most about him was that he played basically unafraid, and I like that. He shot the ball incredibly well in streaks last year, but this year he has to work on shooting the ball consistently, improve his ability to handle the basketball in traffic and his assist to turnover ratio. I don’t know that he’ll ever be a creative passer, but he should be a very effective passer. He must work to be more committed defensively.” - USC Head Coach Dave Odom
