How noble of you. This is a typical stance from you.
Ben was bad.
I’m sure everyone hopes he does well.
I can relate to all of this, lock stock and barrel. Except our h.s. coach made us run suicides at the start of practice. We didn't have to run laps later on. I remember once when the (wooden) backboards had been freshly painted, only my teammate and I didn't know it; the coach raised holy hell when he found us shooting around on our own.
I think a lot of athletes tend to be superstitious but gaining a bunch of weight, muscle, or strength(or losing it) will obviously adjust your shot.
It's a massive change in your body mechanics. However, these body changes also take time and basketball players are likely shooting daily so it's going to be a very gradual change and it shouldn't really impact your shot negatively(unless you're gaining weight to point its impacting your mobility/flexibility).

But his advanced stats are eerily similar to a guy who everyone loves universally that started all 38 games on an Elite 8 team and who now our upcoming season is lost without him

It’s good to hear of the coaching changes. Hopefully the guy they brought in to help the offense has even just out of bounds play. That will be an upgrade.
I assume you still hop on IU forums and bash Knight for Bird, yeah?
It is 100% irrational to think that you can settle on a rotation less than 3 weeks into a season. The hope is that it's settled by the time of conference play. The first 10 games are about mix, match and cohesiveness. With the guys coming from overseas, add familiarity and comfortability with being in a completely different country to the laundry list of things to get ironed out.
So freaking Awesome to have both Ivisic brothers on our team. I hope process gets finished quickly and he can get to work. He sounds like he's ready to eat nails. 
Im slow, whos TJ?
What’s the scoop on Z’s eligibility? He’s already been playing in the NCAA and should have no issue transferring like everyone else right?
Maybe I missed an update on this somewhere?

Why is he dribbling like that?!?
Was surprised they are reviewing eligibility, he just went through a long process at Kentucky and played at Arkansas. Hopefully just standard stuff and he will join team officially soon
Terrence Shannon Jr.
Relax..it's a kids basketball camp
Relax.. it's a joke about tweet being titled playing basketball and him dribbling twice
He's just going through admissions with the university still I think. Nothing big like waiting on a NCAA ruling on anything. Werner mentioned it on a recent podcast and said it should be finished up soon.
There's a big debate within the University regarding whether or not attending Arkansas even counts. /s
