For real. Ty obviously has growing to do to be an all-NBA player. But their Freshman stats are pretty darn similar (keeping in mind that Dray played on a much better team his frosh year).

We need a commitment to distract us, we all have too much time to think.
NCAA Shot Chart
This is a very cool website. Don't know how accurate it is, but it looks reasonable. By this site it shows Rodgers made 0 shots outside of the paint, 0. He only took 4 shots outside of the paint, and 0 from 3. Even shows he's not great in the paint from the left side.
While you look at the stats above and see some similarities, Green was already a better shooter as a Fr, but Green also improved every year to the point by his Sr year he was shooting 39% from 3. Rodgers will need to show a much improved shot and continue improving to ever reach those heights. He has everything else, but you need to be able to shoot or defenses will just sag on you and keep you out of the paint.
We will learn a lot more about Rodgers next year when he's getting 25+ mpg. Did he put in the work to at least be a threat to shoot. But ultimately it will take continued improvement to make him an NBA player. Everyone in the NBA is big and athletic. You've got to be able to shoot.
Using those charts, and looking at our new players, Domask is definitely a baseline bomber: 90% from 3 on the left baseline, 44.4% from the right baseline, too bad he shot 81% of his 3s from the wings and top of the key. RayJ is pretty decent all over, but looks like he drives better to his left (is he a lefty?). Harmon looks like he has a good midrange game, and also better from deep on the baselines. Pretty interesting site.
