Hawkins should be the 4th or 5th option on the floor for a good team.
I don’t have any vivid memories of him struggling with it. I had to work during the Purdue game last year that the other poster referenced. So in your opinion could Ty do better?
He wasn't even the most overrated player on last year's team.
Really struggled when he was amassed to bring it up last year, IMO this is why showed me he was def not headed to the NBA.
I wouldn't play Shannon at point for other reasons, but I think that the team as a whole failed both in terms of prep and execution during that game and Shannon just wore it. Beating a press isn't just a thing that one dude does in most cases, it's a team effort. And the team failed.
This is all just legal maneuvering at this point - he knows he’s not coaching at WVU again but someone got in his ear that he should have gotten a buyout or force them to fire him and give him a buyout so his lawyer is bringing up the technicality that he never “signed” a resignation letter etcnot sure where else to put this but the Huggins saga rolls on:
Huggins calls resignation letter 'false statement'
Bob Huggins said he did not draft or review the statement that announced his resignation as West Virginia's men's basketball coach last month.www.espn.com
Shannon’s weakness is ball handling and playmaking. Shannon’s biggest strength is getting downhill and bullying his way to the basket. He is no where close to a “playmaker” at this time. He either shoots a 3 or puts his head down and goes hard to the basket (out of control more than I’d like). It’s why he isn’t in the NBA. Shannon needs to rectify this if he wants to be in NBA
It was ugly. He was directly responsible for about 4 to 5 turnovers and 8 to 10 points off of them. I think that Ty will have those same issues. He's going to get pressured and doubled each and every game until he proves that he can handle it and make them pay for doing it. That's a lot to ask of this kid(along with everything else that comes with playing the position).
You're being tough on a guy that was being asked to do just about everything. He was handling the ball a TON for a guy his size, which included breaking the press. Quite often, he was directing traffic on the offensive end.
TSJ and CH were the two most affected by the lack of having a legitimate PG.
Minor injury. Should be off by the time they go to Europe
I feel Ty could do better because he simply appears more comfortable dribbling in space with either hand. He doesn’t finish left often, but he seems to handle left just fine.
Purdue was in full court man. The standard play vs full court man is to clear and let your dude bring it up 1 on 1 in the middle 1/3 of the court. This provides the most space and is generally advantage offense. The last thing you want to do against full court man is bring more defenders up by adding more offensive players. If they were trapping it would be different. They locked us up 94 feet 1 on 1.
enlarge the team photo and check out Sincere and DGL's expressions...................lol............team chemistry looking good.....
Yep, good call… the old zig-zag drill…keep it away from the sidelines that’s about all you have to do if it’s obviously a standard full court man.
Perfect excuse to work on his non-dominant hand! Hope it's nothing serious.
2 takeaways from that photo. Coleman looks more 6'8 than 6'10 and Hansberry looks bigger.
