I hear you. But he was 31.6% coming into this game. So it’s not simply a matter of what he’s done lately. He’s been shooting poorly throughout the season.
Yeah, you’re right, it is all problematic. He and Brea are really poor defenders.
I’m hoping that we have a coach that likes to be efficient. JR has to be one of the most inefficient high-usage players in all of college basketball at the moment.
I feel Oweh is the one that has the penchant to do that the most.
Maybe so, but the entire team had only 5 turnovers. That's not much.
Comes out bashing players...check
It gives me tons of confidence in you as a poster that you:
Yeah, but that's what we are, if it goes in, we say it was a great shot.
If you read the original post as “bashing players” then I don’t know what to tell you. The rest of us are having a discussion about actual statistics and how we have our most inefficient offensive player taking the most shots. Do you think that’s a good idea?
You’re going to think whatever you’re going to think regarding my join date and criticism. I can’t change that.
Certainly is weird how Carr is reluctant. He has only taken 14 3’s and made 5.
Carr (and he honestly isn't the only one) does turn down a lot of open threes. I bet he has turned more threes down than he's shot. Luckily it hasn't really hurt us too bad as he has played well enough in the paint to kind of counter it. He should shoot at least 3 or 4 a game though IMO.
I'm sure all of those shots are the result of Coach Pope's confidence in Robinson. Hopefully when Butler returns, he will start making more of those shots.
And if he doesn’t, Pope has to find a way to get more efficient players more shots. Just sort of bothered by the fact that it’s gone on this long already, and Robinson’s shot volume and shot selection don’t seem to be addressed.
Playing great and 3 pt % are two completely separate things. Love how he played Saturday, but the guy is a very mediocre 3 pt shooter so far this season. Hope he can turn it around but it’s not looking great so far.
Is he though? He has shot poorly from 3 all year and only played point the past two games. I think it’s more of a problem than “he just shoots worse when he’s running point”.
Yes, he’s never actually been a great three-point shooter. Ever. He shot at 35.4% last year, which is the best that he ever shot it.
Right, but two of them were by Robinson not paying attention to what he was doing.
Against Gonzaga he had a 5-0 a:t. Robinson is gonna show up in big games. That’s what he’s shown. Tonight the game had zero rythmn we were losing in the second half.
Yeah but the ball in his hands against Gonzaga in the pg role. Let’s see Saturday. He’s gonna play 10-15 min at pg
