Winning Starting Lineup

Staudacher is a great shooter, but I think his percentage is so high partly because he rarely shoots a contested shot. He's very conservative with his shot-taking as well as pass taking, and ball handling. You're not going to miss many shots or make many turnovers if you never play aggressive or take chances. He's an important part of the team, but it's hard to argue he isn't one dimensional. When your #2 rarely ever gets to the free-throw line, something is wrong.

I prefer Staudacher's style of play (at least 3-pointers) to Matt Martin's, though. He was so quick to launch up 3-pointers, often times from WELL beyond the arc, contested, low-percentage shots with plenty of time on the shot clock . . . frustrating to watch.
 
Haha apparently its blasphemy on this board to point out your opinions of a players weaknesses. A lot of posts to respond to.

Nobody said he isn't a tremendous 3pt shooter.

This was my point exactly. Yeah, he can shoot the three fantastically, but imagine how good he would be if he did anything else aggressively besides D?

Redick has the ncaa career record 457 three-point field goals shooting 40.4% from three-point range.

stauds probably does not have that many (maybe close) but his percentage is MUCH better at 45%

hmm..maybe an average rounded 'force it up" player would be better ? ya Right.
To compare him to Reddick is ridiculous. Reddick exemplifies all the qualities that Staudacher needs to add to his game. Reddick was a scary offensive threat that created opportunities, not some dude that can only drain threes as long as nobody is in sight.

ENGLISH, you must be a frustrated ex-nothing, go back to watching rugby!
:lol: You're right I didn't make it passed high school ball, and now I take out my frustration here to ease my tortured soul.

Your comments about his passing, turnovers and defense just show your ignorance!
Don't use a general sentence to make assumptions about my post, buddy. 1. What did I say about his defense? 2. Turnovers? I only replied to his Assist to Turnover ratio. Saying that it was a misleading stat since he has very few assists for a player of his playing time.

And finally you describe the point I am trying to make, while cryptically claiming you disagree with me.
BIG-TIMEGRIZ said:
? My only Criticism is he shoot more not less and even be willing to force a few with defenders on him, he is too unselfish at times.

I want Staudacher to be more aggressive, not be some fence post that shoots when open but doesn't create his own opportunities, or opportunities for others.

*psst* I was refering to Roper.
 
ha ha english griz.. how dare stauds not be a "force em up ball hog" and be a smart, low turnover team player...and double how dare stauds be a one of the best pecentage 3 shooters in ncaa history opening up
the middle for Qvale and AJ to drive... wow...how dare he.

You're absolutely right he does make smart efficient passes and open things up for others by being a 3pt ace. And I don't by any means suggest that he should be a ball hog. I actually hated Reddick by the way, lol. I just think he needs some of J.J.'s aggressiveness, he's much too passive and I see that as a big weakness to have in the five players you have on the court. But I think this is something he could overcome. Its not a fundamental thing, like Cherry being a terrible shot; but rather a mindset. How does Cherry stay on the floor? Aggressiveness, tenacity (as well as other fundamental skills that he excels at) on both sides of the court. Staudacher brings it on D but he lacks it on O.

He got a layup in the last minute of the last game against ISU. From what Mick said it was a designed play to him.
