@BeddieKU23 Yeah that comp doesn't make much sense at all for how either of them has played. I'm never expecting Jamari to be a star at this point but as you said, fine as a role guy/ball mover.
-
@Tallturd1 that’s a lot of 3 shooters and they all play a lot of minutes. I just saw an article about their coach was going off on them for being soft. They’re a pretty good team and he is going to have them fired up. I’m guessing this will be a strong test of our road toughness.

NCST top 6 players average 45.6% on three balls.
Do we have one who is within 10% of that??? And why do we seem to have difficulty in recruiting guys who can make shots from the arc???

@DCHawker what's Tre?

@DCHawker what's Tre?
So, yes, he is over 40%. So is DP (small sample). As a team we are at 33%. As HSBC has noted, we really need to be around 35-37%.
-
between Mari, Tiller and maybe Dawson if he figures it out, it seems like 35-37% could happen.

@approxinfinity Would be shocked if JD entered the rotation at this point
-

They also talk crap about Fran

Looking a little more at NCState. They have 3 losses against the only teams that are major teams they've played. Their 3% is noticably lower in 2 of those 3 losses, around 30%. Against Texas they shot 48% but at a relatively low volume going 9-19. They've feasted on an easier schedule. Home court will give them a boost of course, but we should be all right otherwise.

@wissox83 btw i created an nc st thread

@approxinfinity The most recent updates are great. favicon is back, and the red dot on the unread is back
Things seem to be settling down. Happy to offer support with anything if you need.
-
@bskeet nice, thanks. favicon has been flaky for me, my chrome still shows the wrong one, but I tried to set it.
-
We haven't allowed a team to break into the 30% range I don't think so maybe we can mitigate that. We are shooting a respectable 34% which is our best in a while. We have averaged 7.1 3 balls made this year which can go up to 9 with DP back. He opens things up.
-
I'm excited to see us play NC-State. I do business with a lot of Wolfpack grads... so we better win! It will come down to perimeter defense, and with the speed we have we just need to put in a solid effort to limit their 3 percentage.
Tiller - I'm not expecting him to heat up from 3 soon, unless some things change. As I'm thinking back to the Duke game where he got hot, I think that was from the top of the key, where he usually isn't taking 3s now. He has an issue on his shot. When he catches the ball from a side, he makes it one motion with his shot. Even though it will take just an extra split-second... he needs to gather a bit. Bring the ball into his body, align on the basket, then go up and shoot. If he learns that, he will become a solid 3 shooter. I just don't see it right now with his current method.
-
You can see the makings of a good shooter in Tiller. He needs reps and experience; kid missed over 12 months of basketball then had a shortened offseason recovering from the injury and is starting which I'm not sure many expected coming into the year. A lot has been thrown at him in a short amount of time. You see the touch he has at times on short jumpers and from 3 when it all comes together. I'm not surprised we are seeing some struggles, but I also don't think they are long-term. Agree on his mechanics and probably something they are working on but may require a full offseason to fully correct. We'll likely get "hot and cold" games until there's development there.
If we are thinking ahead to next season (I know way too soon), he seems like the "must retain" guy on the roster. We really lucked out getting him committed, getting him in early for rehab. He was a 5-star kid in his original class, and you can see why. This was excellent work by the staff to keep him away from Auburn/Indiana which were also in on him.
