What's wrong with Brea?

He needs other guys around him to become threats so he can get open, but thankfully that's happening as we speak. JROB having a game like this, even though it took some shots away, is only going to open Brea up. Brea will thrive when his team has a few other guys on offense who can create, but if not, the defense will key on him.

A big reason why Klay Thompson was as good as he was, was because he had Curry on the other side to draw defenses.

I thought the smiley face would make it clear for all, but since it didn't I'd like to point out that I was not actally worried about Brea or complaining. I was feeling good after a great game and joking around. It's not because of the defense since he isn't even in a slump(2 games does not add up to a slump); it's just that nobody makes 7/9 every game. Hitting 48% is great! I still thought every one he took was going in and most of them probably will next game.

I’m not to worried about his shooting yet, but he does need to work on his defense and rebounding.

My initial thought of home / away dichotomy seems to have merit. 57.7 % at home and 24.1 % away.

What’s his shooting percentage at home vs. away/neutral?

Seems like he shoots better at Rupp this season, but I don’t know for sure.

Buc's out here giving people homework.

Per Jon Scott's stats and my back-of-napkin gazintas*, Brea's three-point shooting percentages this season by site:

Away: 4/16 = 25%
Neutral: 5/17 =29.4% (Duke, Gonzaga, Ohio State)
Home: 46/63 = 73%

So, yeah, seems like he does shoot better at Rupp.

Bad - he is forcing some shots.
Good - when he is on the floor he has 100% of his defensive man’s attention. Also has the other 4

He is an asset on the floor even when his shot is not falling. with all the attention he draws, I think he needs to shoot the 3’s as they come in the normal flow of the game. Go to the basket and take the 2 or pass to the open man. He can create for others which will take some of the defensive pressure of him
