Finke, and Black just recently at the hoop. Ff they are sagging in - you've got to take the mid range shot. This is not high ball screen head down to the rim type of ball - rather much more motion and pass inside.

Yeah I think Underwood saw my comment and hollered at them to get to the hoop so I'd cheer up :)

If we are heavily reliant on midrange jumpers I am no longer optimistic about our prospects. I feel like we've been living and dying--mostly dying--by the midrange shot for too many years. It's just such a poor option from a statistical standpoint. There's a reason it's the easiest shot to get.

Maybe I just caught a particularly bad stretch, it seems like they are moving toward the hoop more consistently now.

Alstork sure looks like Ray Rice out there. Not his game. Just his appearance.

EDIT: Also, not up close. Just from a distance

Man just loved seeing Lucas on the bench coaching Smith and Frazier on hand position on defense. Thats leadership.

I would be so pumped if AJ breaks out this season and cements his position as an important piece of the rotation for the next two years.

So everyone has played already. Not surprised if we see this a lot this year.

Mark Smith just realized he is not, in fact, Lamelo Ball
