Oso planning to go pro
I think SHU's interior length was a big issue for him yesterday too.
MuggsyWe once had a program that accomplished your goal virtually every game for a 13 year period. I am 100% in on that style of basketball. It will happen, maybe not this year, but we will have that type of program shortly.
He had way better elevation on his jumper at GMU. For some reason he's not using his legs as much this year.
Interesting....I hadn't noticed. Did he lose some hops?
Something he's not??? Last year at George Mason he WAS a shooter. He hit 35% of his 3s and 3/4 of his attempts were 3 pointers so he WAS a long range snipper. What he was not last year was much of a distributor. That is what he has become this year and its good for the team that he has. that extra load has cut down on his 3 point shooting. So he WAS a very good shooter and its certainly reasonable for people to hope he can do both. But its his point guard distribution skills where we have asked him to be something he wasn't and so far its worked.
Stop mocking me Fluffy. Scoop Snoop asked for a definition and I explained it perfectly.
Muggsy - your point was a good one that was easily understood. Don’t worry that it went over a few people’s heads.
With all due respect ... a .358 percentage does not make a guy a sniper or a very good shooter.That would have ranked him 71st in the nation last year if he had enough makes to qualify. This season, that would rank him 100th. (Elliott would be tied for 4th but he doesn't quite qualify to be among official leaders.)Along with a career .814 FT percentage, Tyler's decent showing last season does give hope that, over time, he can be a respectable shooter from deep.Agree that it's possible his added responsibilities this season have adversely affected his shooting.
Are you suggesting top 100 out of approximately 4,300 players (top 2%) isn’t very good?
Also, not sure where he got the #71 rank from.
Don’t worry Muggsy. Your creative analogies are much appreciated and understood by most. Keep it up.

I think his shot looks fine. Regardless, he isn't going to mess with any mechanics in January. We just gotta hope that they start to fall, which I blame a combination of speed of the game at this level and confidence.
And I asked a follow up question because I have no idea what a “medieval type arsenal” means in a basketball context.
