I think GB can be an effective at the 4 while not attempting a bunch of shots from 17ft. I am not sure i want anyone taking a bunch of shots from 17ft unless they are wide open. That doesnt happen much for anyone. A contested 17ft shot is a bad shot for almost all college players. You need to be effective enough to be guarded. I think every player on our team is. GB can put it on the floor and get to the basket, pass and do what we need from him. If he is left wide open from 17 feet i hope he takes it. Teams dont want to leave GB open from that distance! I do not recall him ever being left open all last season as a strategy to be a liability for our team. He can play outside the paint, pass, must be guarded, and can get to the basket just fine. GB may have taken some dumb contested shots from 17ft and i am with you that he doesnt need to do that but no one on our team needs to take that crappy shot.
I was ready for the season to start, but this video makes it MUCH more so.
c’mon season! Let’s go!
