Love to see this. I remember someone kind of bashing him earlier in year and it made me wonder what they were watching. We are very fortunate he is a Griz

Now that he's learned the take charge mentality, he really needs to look for teammates, with kickouts. D's are keying on him now. He's missing open looks for teammates.

People need to realize he's a true soph. Follow the link and look at his stats. Huge improvement across the board year over year. TO's cut in half, FG% up, etc. Advanced stats say the same.

For those worried about 3s, even though he's been terrible since New Years (6-27) he was at 45% (13-29) before that. 33% for the year, about team average. 25% last year so no he isn't worse yoy. I'd agree his shot selection can improve but you could say that across the board. I'd agree with rule that he can recognize d strategy better for kickouts and I bet he will. I also think getting Blakeny back could help him get a few more minutes of rest per game and tired legs don't help the jumper so let's hope that improves down the stretch.

If he keeps improving at this rate he'll be the best player in the league his senior year. He's already pretty darn good and I'm glad he's a Griz.

He has definitely made a big jump and it's not unlikely that he'll be at a P5 conference school by this Summer. That's the new world of college basketball.

I think he'll stay. Plus, he hasn't been consistent against power 5 teams. Improving his 3 pt shot mechanics, with a quicker more compact release, would help his game a lot. That push hitch, absolutely has to go.

Have him shoot 3s right behind anything waist high or higher. That would get rid of extending the ball low. His upper release mechanics are pretty solid already. As is, he has to be very wide open just to get the shot off.

Rest of his offense is pretty damn good.
