My shooting firm is awful but the results are elite. He’ll be fine.
HardsOf course his shooting form is not textbook, but neither is his skill set. The only way he will ever take a three is if he is wide open and he will be wide open often. He can shoot one handed from the side of his head and I would not care. If he can make outside shots it changes things in a big way for next season, imo.
If no one is guarding Oso outside of 15 feet this shot will still probably get blocked. It takes a long time to develop and is fired from very low. If he starts making a couple then I'll get excited. Also, it would be nice if this was just the start of the work he is doing... since it is only May he will have plenty of time to improve.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV3k5foOpX8These aren't exactly the picture of quick, high, pretty release. Oso's shot in his workouts is much quicker than Sanogo's, and Sanogo's was enough to completely change this game and the Creighton game.Will he be hitting three 3 pointers per game? No. Does he need to? Also no.
I only see the shots you make, kin... but you ain't wrong.
Who's guarding the opposing bigs then?
I think he will get the chance to show even more versatility this season. With OMax gone, I think that Oso will guard more wings and shoot more 3's. Showcasing for next year's draft.We will be debating where Oso is getting drafted a year from now.
I agree the threat of a three from Oso could be transformative for the offense. I also hope that he is working on the fifteen to 18 foot shot. I fully understand that the goal is to shoot at the rim or from 3, however, there are so many occasions where teams could sag off Oso when he was at the free throw line or just a bit deeper. He is a passing threat from there, but when teams sagged the cutting and passing lanes are nearly eliminated. I'm not sure the form he is apparently working on would be effective from 15-18 feet, but time will tell. No reason not to trust the development program at this point.
Ok Tower…….this is at least the 3rd time in the last few days that you are promoting Oso filling the OMax role and guarding wings. Is this your new Keeyan will play meaningful minutes hill for the upcoming season?
HardsLast summer Shaka leaked word that Oso would handle the ball more than any big man in country and many on here were skeptical. If they are leaking videos of Oso taking three’s in May, that gives me optimism.Your comment on his shot getting blocked even with no one guarding him seems a bit odd, but think you are missing the point.TowerI would love to see Oso more aggressive on the D front and play the Omax role to some degree. That said, until we get the portal guy I am holding off on that. Without another big guy, I would worry about Oso getting into foul trouble playing that role.
He isnt working on a 15’-18’ shot. No one on MUMBB is!
Maybe, but this is also coming from a non-MU affiliated training center. Granted, it's Markus' family, but they have a ton of videos and pics from players all over the country and I'm sure not all go through university PR departments before posting.
damn shame
Yep. A shame we are taking this efficient offense and making it less efficient.
I consider it more 'Omax will make the league'. Or Kolek reminds me of Brunson. And I do not think it will be the base. It really can't be unless an impact 5 arrives in the portal. But I think he has the best lateral quickness of the three returning forwards. So, I think from time to time, he will defend the quick wings.Nothing that radical.
Exactly—-its like scoopers haven’t been watching Shaka and the coaches. MUMBB avoids contested and UNCONTESTED 15-18’ jumpers.
On a switch maybe. Don’t see him guarding a quick wing as a defensive strategy.
What is MUMBB?
We have already seen it many times on a switchI get it. So, among Oso, Gold, and Joplin, who do you want to see guard the equivalent of Hawkins? Or any quick, versatile, 6'7-8 wing?
