DaveBird10 gave us the stats. His production has dropped. They are making up for COVID games which means 3 plus games a week. Hopefully, with more rest he will find his old self in St. Louis. He can't play Tone 30 plus minutes a game.

Yeah, Schmitt's 6 points and 2 rebounds is dominating. He hit a wall too.

All I know is Liam redshirted then got injured right away last year. His size and skill set is enough to be a nightmare in this league. I hope whoever is hired both give each other a chance.

I am very much a stats guy where I think we all could be correct. I think he has hit wall because he was playing more minutes, whereas I also think it's very likely possible that he formed a strong connection with Dan and being from Canada the emotional toll on him is too much. I was hard on Liam when the season started where now I hope he sticks around because he has a unique skill set we haven't seen in a while. Being 190lbs and losing 10lbs with covid-19 he could use a year in the weight room at a place where he stays, not rehabbing an injury.

I thought maybe Liam wasn't starting because he has a propensity to foul early. We used to do the same with Mike Vandegarde.so he would be in the game at the end.. Could be wearing out though. He got hit hard with covid. Might be lingering issues. Or being a bean pole he might need a recharge
I think Schmitt has the tools to be a good post player. If you put the ball in a catchable position he's likely to get it and score, and hes a decent defender. Needs to put on weight and work on a shot out to about 10' He reminds me of guys like Brian Kern who didn't show much early, but showed sparked of ability. Kern worked hard on a jump hook in the lane and it changed his game.
