Travis Perry Stat line last night
- Thread starter Possum
- Start date
I can't blame the kid for going for the most money since he would not have been a rotation player for UK this year and probably not before his senior year, if then.
I watched some of the game and none of the other four players on the floor hardly looked at him. When he was open they seldom threw the ball to him. It looks like he’s not going to get the ball much unless Beard runs plays for him.
You can guarantee he’ll drop 30 on us.
I liked Travis while he was here and it’s obvious that he was promised the starting job and more money to go to Ole Miss.
Headline for the homers. Travis Perry Perfect at FT Line Last Nite.
I watched it and my biggest takeaway was that he was not primarily a ball-handling PG to initiate offense. It seemed that Ole Miss uses a Team PG concept, with everyone handling the ball, bringing it up and starting the sets. Perry did handle it some and looked fine. Mostly, he was a spot-up perimeter guy, but did penetrate the elbows off the bounce and looked comfortable in the lane. His defensive play was much improved, I thought, as Ole Miss plays man with constant switching, rather than fighting through picks. It appears to be a trademark of Beard's defensive approach. Perry was active on defense, using his hands and blocking out, reminding me of Sheppard's defensive approach when he was here. He simply did not shoot the ball well. He rushed a few looks, I thought, and maybe was pressing. We've seen that with Chandler, Williams and Noah a little bit this year, so far, too. Perry and our guys will all settle down and take well-balanced shots, I'm sure. I think legit shooters' percentages usually. but not always, gravitate to historical averages. We'll see, of course.
