I would say Stokes was better in his very first game than he is now.

Sure he was better in his first year. Now, every team in the SEC has the "book" on him. This year, he is always double or tripled teamed whenever he gets the ball. His frustration with fewer touches is leading to ill-advised shot selections and bad decisions. Hopefully, he'll settle down and make better decisions with the ball.

Having said that, there's no excuse for his horrible free throw shooting and fouling. His biggest asset right now is being big. He rebounds well, and he's a force in the middle on defense.

I have no idea about his work ethic, but he talks like he wants to improve, and I believe CCM understands what it takes to get him to the next level. Time will tell.
