[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1586819, member: 4716"] Does anyone else notice that when Ayo shoots a running teardrop about 80% of the time he comes up short? Of course I am not plotting this, but just noticing the tendency. Got to shoot at a point on the far side of the rim I would think. It natural to figure that when you are running at the basket, you need to take something off, but he is taking off too much consistently. That shot will likely be a requirement for his success goals in the NBA. And if he can ever learn to elevate and release from over his head from 27 feet, he could be and all-star....but that is not his game and would take a huge time commitment. But.............he sure is one hell of a baller now. He makes shooting layups look easy, but there is a huge difference in his strength to finish at the rim with bodies hanging on and his frosh year. An Illini all-time great....and in fact, Illini have never had another player on the roster like him....no offense to Williams...Deron and HRF....who had different skills. [/QUOTE]
