I wasn’t taken it that serious but there are already tables and media sitting in front of the students.
Tech’s a team that could end up having some really good outside shooters. I think they’ll be better than last year.
Not vouching for the accuracy, but the B12 is well represented with teams that will always have a puncher’s chance when the shooters get hot.
They are throwing around “Elite” as if it’s a casual word. That list means nothing.
Where’s your list?
So, we don’t have elite shooters?
We don’t have “the most” according to that list.
But we don’t even have 3?
We potentially have 3. Cryer, Sharp, Uzan.
But right now, we only have 1 that I would deem Elite.
Let’s see how “elite” they’d be going up a D like the Coogs.
you are missing the point… look at the list, some of the players being listed at “elite” are not elite
dajaun harris is not ann elite shooter… he has good percentages becuase he only every shoots when completely ungraded and wide open…he has never made more than 30 in a season despite 34 minutes a game on 33+ games
remove percentage, talking actually shooting; Terrance and milos are as good or better than a ton of players listed (potential mercy aswell)…
There are a lot of things you can remove or ignore, but measuring the rate at which shots go in the basket is certainly fair. When you start talking about contested vs non-contested, then you’re really looking at whether a guy is a “scorer”.
It isn’t really insulting or surprising - Sampson repeatedly said last year that we weren’t a good-shooting team. He would have pointed to LJ as the main exception, with Sharp starting to prove that he’s in that category, too.
im not debating our team… if you read some of my posts, i have questions about our floor spacing, and bench scoring
im debating that other teams shouldn’t be on there with us lol
For every quote sampson has questioning our shooting, there is 3 more of self saying kansas was a terrible shooting team
and my point wasnt “fair or not fair”… but what is a good metric in actually judging who is a good shooter.
harris was is a ball dominant PG, who played 34mins a game on 34 games last year… and made a total of 28 3s last year but at 39%…is he an elite shooter?
wade taylor a ball dominant PG, who played 32mins a game on 36 games last year… he mad 100 3s last year… but is a bad shooter because he shoot 32%
context: we go under the screens by design for harris…, we defend wade taylor from half court and give him no room to breathe at all
What we lose in having the best ball stopper in the nation we gain in our ability to trap and recover. Keep in mind we REALLY like to trap and recover.
On the other end, if Uzan can shoot our spacing will be that much better with defenses having to honor a 6’4 shooter to go with Cryer and Sharp.
Well good, because it’s an individual player list, not a team list. The teams are only listed to group the players.
Maybe we can all just move on now.
Have you SEEN High Point and Lipscomb with your own eyes??? If not, you have NO IDEA how ELITE they are…
If Elvin was still playing and using this criteria, he would most likely be considered elite . . . . .
When did Elvin play 30 minutes per game?
Thought based on # of shots put up and # of shots made. Nothing to do with minutes.
