I thought the problem with Memphis was his inability to control the ball, make an intelligent decision or not give the ball away every time he touches it in the league?
Can you actually point out a single time he has chosen to "play the safe option"?
Ya. Exactly, it has nothing to do with his instructions and everything to do with his ability to not give the ball away because he is always trying to do something attacking with it.
I'm sure he will eventually come good, but right now he is shocking and it has nothing to do with "playing safe".
