Right on! Chalmers and Robinson had the same impact Napier and Boatright had for UCONN. They didn’t turn the ball over much and they created turnovers. When you get that out of your perimeter, and then add KU’s always good rebounding in the post, you will come out ahead on possessions every game. Then a team has to totally out shoot you to win, and that isn’t easy to do because if you are winning the TO battle you probably play decent shot defense.
On offense, our perimeter guys need to know how to create shooting space. When you can do that comfortably and you practice enough reps to where your final move against your defender and your shot all come off as one big fluid motion, you’ll become an effective shooter. This is where college ball needs to improve and tighten up on to be more similar to pro ball. We are very guilty of this… have decent trey shooters but they can’t create their own shot so they perch on the trey line and keep whipping the ball around until one of them gets wide open. Come March, many teams you face will never leave these guys open on a “stand and shoot” opportunity.
But, heck… why am I talking about it when I can show one of the best guys ever to play the game when it comes to creating his own shooting space:
