Does anyone else have a player on their team who is a consumate choke artist?

I give, as exhibit A, the worst player under pressure in BB Canada history - Conor MacSymon.

Conor started out as a promising rookie with designs on the U21 team. While he did eventually get there, at the tail end of the season, missing 7 or 8 weeks due to injuries during his initial three years kept him from "being all that he could be". Then came last season, a season in which I felt sure I would advance - but, no, Conor, by far my best player, goes and gets injured for three weeks right before the playoffs start. I lose the finals in three games.

And now this. Conference finals. Tough game, but the other team is missing their starting SG due to injury and I'm expecting Conor to light it up. And he did really well, 17.0 game rating, pretty good for div III, right? But, he also went out and got injured in the first quarter and played a total of 6 minutes. Awesome. I play a power forward at the two for the rest of the game....

So I ask you - does anyone have a player more frustrating than this!!!

Our division really is tough though. I think some of our teams wouldn't even do that bad in Naismith. I'm pretty confident that I won't relegate back to division II next season if I make it there this season.
