[QUOTE="Ga65, post: 1348015, member: 610685"] IMO both Smith and Alstork are scorers not shooters as opposed to JCL who was a shooter. We won some games last year with excellent shooting and got run out of games with bad shooting. This years team will not depend on three point shooting but taking it to the basket for lay ups or free throws. Mark Smith is way ahead of most freshmen in his ability to get to the rim and to finish. Ahead of some past Illini who most of us consider great players. However if we are to beat teams like MSU we must also shoot the threes as their front court will be very good at protecting the rim. [/QUOTE]
