I don't think we will need the three as much...Still need to utilize it, of course. Its become a huge part of the game. JHS only shot 29% in HS from three, but is seen as a better shooter than that; his mid-range game is elite as **** though. Geronimo has good form, and every shot he takes, you think--thats going in---until it doesn't. If he can get up to around 35%, he'll be a handful. I still like Bates---a lot. Felt he was just put in a bad spot, playing with the rotations he did. Felt he needed more run with 1st team dudes. To me, he seemed pressured to score, and took some bad, bad shots....Scoop on him coming out of HS was a good shooter, with deeeeeep range. I think you insert him with X, Race and TJD, its takes lots of pressure off him, he isn't option one, and feel he could flourish.
IU is pretty deep TBH...Gunn is a ridiculous shooter, with crazy range----but can be streaky. WHo knows with Kopp? I just think dude lost all confidence. Maybe he gets that back.
To begin the year, I'd like to see...
X
Bates
JHS or Geronimo
Race
TJD
BUt I do think as time goes, its gonna be really difficult to keep JHS/Reneau off the floor. Both are really good.
Then there is Banks. Late bloomer....probably a project...But then again, kid is a crazy athlete, who can score.
Right now, its a certain of X/Race/TJD...after that----man who knows.
Curious if you can elaborate on JHS being seen as a better shooter than that? I thought the knock on him was that he wasn’t much of a threat shooting the ball.
