I like the intagibles. Rebounding, assists.
But in the end, you gotta shoot. Thats how you survive in the NBA
29.4 FG % aint great. But alot of time to correct things

A real nice article, not about an ex-Coog, but one of Coach Sampsonās favorite players from his OU days ā Eduardo Najera. Covers the story of how Coach recruited him.
āSometimes you can look at a kidās eyes and see all the way to Amsterdam,ā said Sampson, who now is the basketball coach at the University of Houston, where heās helped the Cougars reach two Final Four appearances. āBut when you look at Eduardoās eyes, they were hungry eyes. He just had this body language, the way he looked at you. It told me two things: This kid was really hungry, but he also needed help.ā

Walker is either in a bad shooting slump, or heās hurt. Heās under 30% from the field and about 25% from 3pt.
Heās 13 for his last 59 shots, and heās been 0-fer from 3 in more games than heās made one in November. 
His other numbers arenāt bad, but this has been a brutal stretch for him, and heās getting a lot of minutes.
He shoots bad, rushed shots. I play fantasy basketball and drafted him late in both leagues. Waived him in both leagues early on. Then when Obi was injured, I picked him back up cuz he had a runway to minutes. But his rushed shot selection is horribleā¦and heās worse in the paint trying to shoot. Waived a second time. I wonāt be back. The Sunday night, 6 turnover game was my LAST straw.

Yep. I was surprised they werenāt doing more to get him going then I realized theyāre in total tank mode right now.
I think they lost someone else in the off-season, tooā¦
2026 NBA Mock draft just released.
