He has looked average or below the last several games. I wonder if it was his injury (which could impact his play in practice) or if it is something deeper. I am sure that he got a huge increase in NIL$ … wonder if the new wealth could play a role….or if it became apparent he would need to work “harder” because of his moving up in class. I don’t feel like he regrets his decision about coming to LA … if for nothing else other than the $$$. At the level he is playing, folks could be telling him the NBA is a long way off…and that could impact attitude. Whatever the problem(s) I doubt it is ALL Cronin (it could just be situational right now)…so i would hope we could give this young man some space and time to adjust.The middle of the Big conference would be a good time to reevaluate…but I do appreciate your concern.
