I thought Albert made a big jump in his game last year. Early on this season, his game has regressed. I think the staff last year lived on his tail.
Shot selection (seeing way more of the fade-away, off balance heaves)
FT shooting down
Not passing out of the post as well or as often
No improvement with low post moves or rebounding
He may be trying to do too much. There is still time to turn things around by conference season, but this is not the same Albert we saw in league play last year.

I don't want to give the guards a pass -- they can't beat anyone off the dribble or make teams pay for trapping and overplaying on perimeter defense.
