IMO Kam has a very high ceiling. His D continues to improve and no worries on him putting it in the hoop.

In the past 8 games he has actually developed a decent consciousness on whether he should launch. Before that, there were certainly worries!

brew, curious if you have numbers for him re catch-and-shoot vs. off-the-dribble.

I got the numbers from pux2mex. I was overstating it when I said very good, and these include 2s and 3s, but here are his splits in terms of points per possession:

Catch & Shoot: 36 points on 38 possessions, 0.947 PPP (44th percentile, so average)

Jumper off the Dribble: 7 points on 29 possessions, 0.241 PPP (2nd percentile, so abysmal)
When asked how he felt about Marquette being picked to finish ninth in the Big East, Tyler Kolek only had two words:
.
"F**k 'em."

Shooters should shoot. I had zero worries about his decisions on offensive side of ball. First few games he was trying too hard, but you did not need to be basketball expert to see the kid was born scorer.

So when is the Big Day?

132 days.

Yeah his D is pretty much what I expected. But his offense is much more polished than I expected for a low 4 star high 3 three star. Can't remember if it was Shaka or if it was Wojo but someone said "Kam's going to score a ton of points at MU" and I rolled my eyes at that. I was definitely wrong there!

Are there any medieval weapons that would help out in this situation? Catapult?

There very well could be training exercises that would help and perhaps lead to a more relaxed jump shot.    :)

Thanks brew. This is one example of the eye test concluding just about the same thing.
