Why doesn't Melvin Ejim dunk the backetball. I don't know how many times he's been wide open and can go up and dunk it but he rolls it over the rim or lays it off the glass. I don't know how many times he's missed. I wish he'd just go up with authority and dunk it.
 
He had some great dunks early in the year, but he's clearly in a funk and has lost some confidence. He is going to be one hell of a player for us down the road.

Was thinking this same thing earlier.

Yes, he can most certainly dunk.

I haven't been able to watch many games - is he missing layups or getting blocked or something? It's only worth 2 points regardless of how you put the ball in the hoop.

He's dunked plenty of times this year. If last night was the first game you've seen, I feel sorry for you. You've missed some good backetball.
 
I don't blame the OP for making this post because at times, Ejim does seem awfully soft around the basket. I think that again, it all comes down to him playing out of position. It was a big deal in the non-con. Now, he is going up against guys who are bigger and stronger than him for the first time in his life. I'm not surprise that he's a bit hesitant down low. He'll be fine. Ejim is a smart kid who is physically gifted. I'm not worried about him at all.
 
His freshman year is reminding me a bit of Haluska, who also fell off after a strong start. Both showed signs of serious talent though.
