Watching him in pre games, his catch and shoot 3 looked way smoother than any jumper off the dribble. But it's a moot point. We could've utilized him sooner, but the wrist injury and Tomi being sick and injured weren't helpful either.
Dra is gone. Ty will be next week more than likely.
Oscar was national player of the year and is currently on a two-way contract with Utah. He has played in 18 total NBA games in his career. He's on a path that leads overseas.
This is really interesting. I'm not sure how that compares with Kenpom, but their "minutes continuity" benchmark (D-1 average) has dropped from 50% to 33% over the last decade. Just last year to this year it dropped 6 points. It has dropped every year but one the last decade. But all but 1 team in the final four this year had a minutes continuity over 50%. The other team has Cooper Flagg.
Sure they do. But I'm losing faith in their ability to interpret the data.
Is there a worse shot in college basketball than letting your 61% free throw shooting big man shoot mid-range jumpers?

I’m not so sure I agree with that. Dain saved our rear in several games, but it seemed like the only time we featured him is when everyone else sucked and Brad brought him off the bench. Dain could have been every bit as good for us as he was for Memphis. I think DGL was the “Dain” this year.
Not directly attacking or refuting you sacraig, but you are at least conversing on the subject, so I'll respond. Perhaps they interpreted it correctly? And for whatever reason, the translation from practice to game, just wasn't optimal. By all accounts BH was lighting things up in practice with the 3 ball and getting his defensive assignments correct. And perhaps Morez was not making enough short to midrange shots and showing enough defensive lapses that they insisted he stick with what the data shows during actual games. I just cannot believe, despite what some people want to think, that BH was shooting like crap in practice yet was still given the green light, and that Morez was drilling those short/mid-range shots in practice yet was banished from shooting them in game? Seems kinda absurd.
Our starting center literally took 13 shots from the arc in our last game. Clearly, it is allowed…NCAA Basketball Stats - NCAA BB Team Three Pointers Attempted per Game | TeamRankings.com
NCAA Basketball three pointers attempted per game, by team.
We attempted over 30 threes per game, which was the fifth most in the country this season. Even more than Alabama.
Clearly they wanted to shoot a lot of threes. If you showed you could make them, even at a below average level, then bombs away.
Obviously Morez is at his best in the post and getting offensive rebounds, but if he was showing any signs that he could hit them with any consistency, why would they have shut that idea down?
The program has no issues with bigs shooting threes, Tomi and Coleman took them all the time. Giorgi and Leron Black shot a decent amount of threes under Brad. Bottom line, if you can make threes (sometimes even if you can't), they let you shoot threes.
That one seems like a manufactured excuse from the Morez camp.
BU claimed they were elite shooters in practice. Didn't carry over to the games. That was a huge problem.
But morez is 6' 9" not tall enough for B10 centers. Look at Georgie and Dain. They needed to shoot 3pointers above 35% but neither could do it.
How many above average 3 point shooters do you know that shoot 60% from the free throw line?
