He isn’t great moving his feet in those situations and often allowed Grady to shoot open jumpers or VanVleet to get moving toward the basket. He is also burdened by the fact he doesn’t want to foul and plays a lot of minutes. As a result, VanVleet exploited him late in the game off the pick and roll.

Given space, VanVleet did what he does.

“He makes a lot of plays other players can’t make,” Grady said. “When a guy puts so much trust in you and faith in you, you want to return the favor. The only favor he’s asking for you to do is finish the play and get the assist for him. It’s a win-win. I think the two points is winning more, but he prefers the assist, because he’s a point guard.”

Back home: Cleveland State (5-10, 0-2) gets back into action tonight, hosting Wisconsin Green Bay (9-5, 2-0) at 7 p.m. in the Wolstein Center. The Vikings are looking to snap a two-game losing streak against the Phoenix.

But in this rebuilding season, the signs of growth are showing as CSU is starting to score a lot better. Building depth and consistency is the next order of business.

Freshman guard Rob Edwards has proven to be a solid building block, and freshman Jibri Blount is the perfect 'glue' guy, which should make this a one-year blip on the screen for the Vikings.

Other Horizon League action tonight includes Youngstown State (6-9, 1-1) at home against Milwaukee (10-5, 1-1). The Penguins are coming off a solid conference upset on the road over Oakland.
