[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1361387, member: 4716"] Just a thought that may or may not have occurred to you.....are you certain, due to his phenomenal success at scoring against bigger guys and his dependable skill in getting off tough shots and making them that BU does not encourage him to shoot almost every time he gets the ball. Illinois has had power forwards in the past (Pruitt comes to mind) who truly was a Black Hole...his next assist will be his first....and I hated to see him get the ball. NOt so with Leron as he is a talented scorer inside....something that he was not in previous years. I have a lot of confidence in his ability to score anytime he gets the ball...and has not been the case until this season. I guess one has to look at his season's percentage very closely. Jordan is shooting the ball lights out...yes....but it is too easy to shut him down with a bigger, quicker, defender. Not so with Leron, and he scores at a high percentage compared to most others. Oddly, he seldom draw a double team and that is likely why BU would want to give him a green light. [/QUOTE]
