Oso planning to go pro
We need Gold to put up 15-20 shots a game imo. He’s got the talent to be an all American if we utilize him.
If Ben develops a jump hook to go with his shot he’s basically Nikola Jokic but possibly better in a year or two.
There's no need to mock the young man.
I think you just don’t believe in the young man. Shame on you.
Of course I believe but no one is comparing him to Jokic.
Someone literally compared him to Jokic two posts before yours:
take the time and look up Mo Wagner college stats at Michigan.He had a freshman season not unlike Gold, but then really started putting up some nice numbers the next two years.
Wow, not just the stats but also size/skillset this is an awesome comp
Jokic? Don't insult Ben! Gold is more like a combo of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Walton. With a sprinkling of Kevin Durant.
Muggs, I think if we asked Shaka and/or Nevada, they'd say they want Gold to shoot without hesitation if he's open after running a pick-and-pop.
He shot 39% from 3 against BE competition. Took him the Non-Con portion of the schedule to get acclimated to faster pace of play, and though the game was still a little too fast for him at times during BE play, he still shot the ball quite well from distance and showed good BBall IQ putting it on the deck when opposition closed out on his 3.
Not only Gold……..every single player on the court. Every player shoots the 3 without hesitation. Thats the beauty. Cmon now.
From Jan 15 on, he shot 6/21 for 28.6% from 3 against Conf foes, but ok
Not every player. One doesn't shoot the three at all.
Figured dis topic wood bea 'bout Shapiro, hey?
