The game was a mismatch.
It still showed that Coleman is a high level shooter and passer. His athleticism showed up with his ability to finish at the rim.
His handle is not the best and he’s not strong enough yet to drive through defenders.
His defensive footwork honestly looks like he’s...
The stats point to top NBA talent.
3 point shooting 40% -elite
Turn over rate - 10.6% to 12.4% - elite
2.3 to 2.8 assist-to-turnover rate - elite especially on a team that stressed isolation scoring reducing total assists
The only thing he’s missing is the physical strength needed to dislodge...
Illinois was either tallest or second tallest last year and the new crop of players are as tall or taller at each position and we didn’t loose the Ivisic’s so will be as tall or taller than last year.
Been looking at statistics any thoughts on Michael McNair from Boston University. Tall guard from a smaller program who can really shoot.
Not sure he’s available but looks to be a perfect fit.
At this point each game comes down to desire and focus. There is no tricky game plan we haven’t seen. There is no impossible match up we can’t overcome. There is no excuse. We have the players and the coaches.
Execute for 40 minutes to achieve glory.
