He has been dreadful. A point guard who cant pass the ball!! That is an inherited skill. Seeing the court peripheral vision. Quickness. He lacks all of that. And he has a terrible shot.
So u mean inherent, not inherited?
When did we post that?Meant to post this yesterday, this little gem of a banner was pretty much priceless:
It was an infographic that USANet put up early in the game yesterday.
We certainly have a way of bringing out the best in opposing players’ individual efforts.
23 I think the whole team played better in OOC which goes to prove our offense is too well known in the A10
Carolina, agree. This is starting to become like the defense, that was so good for the early mooney years, and never ever adapted until it tanked, bottomed out for a few years. And then changed.
For the sake of the team, I hope that you are right about Nelson.
we didn't do a ton to get Roche shots ... expecially by sitting him.
Sman I’m not meaning to boil your whole post down into one sentence but this is what has really stood out to me all season. We really only have one player in Roche who I feel is a good jump shooter and even he has struggled mightily in A10 play. I don’t recall in the last 11 seasons having a team that was this poor at shooting the ball. There isn’t anybody that I get excited to see take a wide open shot. It really feels like I’m just crossing my fingers once they release it.
I feel like the only guys who showed any capacity to do this were Nelson and Bailey. I think the scout on Nelson was he was most times going to kick out, so made him a lot easier to defend. Dji was more likely to shoot or dish, so that made him a little harder to defend but he didn’t do this often enough.
No, this is exactly what I see, I think he has no real intent to score and then everything else becomes kind of a safety valve at best.
Roche is a shooter.
Nelson’s 30.5% is at the intersection of Stinky and Tolerable. Okay enough, but not gonna get the job done, at least not for a scoring PG.
yeah, I didn't include lower volume guys. possible we didn't always have the right guys on the floor ... which may have been mentioned a couple times before.
By looking at his form I completely agree but maybe other coaches scouted his previous stats and said let him shoot those 3s? The early shot clock ones made me shake my head but Mooney probably never mentioned/concered about it. Why let a guy go inside and maybe get fouled who's close to automatic with FT attempts. Or more importantly maybe set up a play(s) to get his player inside with shot opportunities.
There is no doubt in my mind that Bigs was misused/coached. Someone should have shut down his three point shot to only be super late in the shot clock.
Agree. But it’s the age old Moon story of we have this system and everybody is going to play in the system come hell or high water. Results might be good or bad, but we ain’t changing.
I've got Bigs at 38-98 his first year (38.8%).

30.5 is nowhere near good enough. Not only are you not making enough, but teams can play off of you some and make it that much harder for everyone else to score. Dji would have to dramatically change his shot to ever be a factor. Starts his shot low, and it takes way too long, and even though he was 6-15 this year, every single 3 was wide wide open because teams played off of him. But, there are only so many times a game where you will be that wide open to take a good second to shoot, even when teams play off of you.
