Jake Thomas at Arizona State: Sit 'em or Bench 'em?

[🏀]

Hey guys, wondering what you think about Jake Thomas against ASU.

I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.

[Goose]

I would have encouraged him to go to UWGB when we had the chance.

Thomas for three....

Maybe he left his sniper rifle at his previous school

That was a game changer

Heatcheck!

2 3's in a row, nothing but net why.

Both were crisp passes that hit him in rhythm to go up for the shot....positive results when the offense is set up properly.  Too many people harping on Thomas, for problems that are team wide.

Sit a sniper?  Never.

Shooter's gotta shoot!

Shoot to get hot, shoot to stay hot.  Keep shooting, kid!

I like Thomas when he is making 3's.  I don't like Thomas when he is missing 3's.

We didn't have those problems last season, and Jake still sucked.  Jake has proven he can hit a wide open 3 pointer against the worst competition in Division 1 basketball.  He has also shown an inability to do the same thing against anyone mid-major or higher.

Looks like someone got a little too excited about their post idea.

Actually we did have the same problem last year.  Junior had problems hitting the open man on the perimeter also, and Gardner starting last year didn't kick it out as often.

Jake has had a number in rhythm this year and hasn't hit them.  Let's not pretend that Jake would be a sniper with better passing.

Why'd they stop feeding the rifle?

[Eldon]

Start him or bench him?

I think he would be a 36-38% shooter with good passing.  

This game he is 2-4, rest of team 1-18 and people are still calling for his head.

Thomas did a disservice to MU by not transferring....

Something like that.

I'm not.  He's playing solid defense.

Hogwash.

I think we are pretty much in agreement on Thomas.  I'm not saying he will be a sharp shooter, but with good passing and floor spacing he will be a respectable deep threat...think McNeal type threat, without the ability to drive.

+1 Both 1st half misses were easy looks - in rhythm.

I'm actually feeling stupid about the title of the thread....is there a difference?

Sultan....spot on.  Jake plays good D, spaces the floor well, passes well and can hit a free throw.
