I'm talking about a floater. When u shoot on the move, usually halfway to the rim. Like Immanuel Quickly did
Brea

I know what you're talking about. Again, Can Brea get to the rim. If you can't you're probably not going to be able to off a shot halfway between the rim and the arc. His ball control isn't good enough, and he shows away from contact. Usually someone with a good floater has the ability to get to the rim, but pulls up short of shooting a layup because the defender is back in his heels. It's all good.
The difference is that Edwards can create shots for himself.
when brea can not shoot, what his difference with Noah, noah can even give better hustle in the court
Pope should have played Noah more he seemed to be playing harder
That's because Almanor isn't near the 3 point shooter that Brea is. He is open because teams allow him to be open which is smart. Most teams will put 5 players on our other 4 and play the percentages of Almanor doesn’t hit many. I know he has started making some here of late but consistency just isn't there.
Yes. On a team that supposedly relies on the 3 point shot, we need our best or second best 3 point shooter getting more minutes. Our defense is terrible anyway so spare me the "he can't play defense" line. Well, no one else can either so let's at least try to optimize our offense.
Brea just is t very athletic, so his lack of speed and quickness makes it’s so it’s incredibly hard for him to get open. It’s the classic case of a very skilled guy with limited athleticism. It’s really that simple.

Brea is 7/26 in the five (5) games since Florida: 26.9% ... so, YES, he is due for a big shooting game !!
Yeah, other teams are leaving a 42 percent three point shooter open and daring him to shoot.😂

Teams are wising up , crowd him — over crowd him , If he puts it on the floor you have won the battle with him .
Saw another poster say he was just out there getting his 25 minutes of cardio every game .lol
Both he and Robinson are more afraid of contact than any player I remember. They make Reeves look like Bill Lambier.
Steph Curry works his ass off and always has. Ray Allen was the same. Rip Hamilton too.
Those are alltime greats do maybe too much to ask.
But even here, Kevin Knox and Jamal Murray were constant movement.
If Brea would stay in movement off the ball he will get shots.
And he’s got to drive sometimes
The book on him is obvious by how he’s being played
Every team doesn’t guard him the same by accident.
He has to do something different.

Owen is probably the best player on this team. Driving to the basket is the strongest part of his game. Be hard to say he can create his own shot from the 3 point line.
I don’t know what the NIL figure was that allowed us to sign Brea, but I feel like we got burned.
He’s spot up shooter only and needs someone else to create an open shot for him, he & Robinson are very weak and need someone else like OO to drive to the basket and create a shot for them. Those 2 along with butler are terrible in the paint & finishing at the rim. Neither are going to attack the rim so idk why Noah can’t get some of atleast breas time, it’s not like he’s a lock down defender and no chance Noah can do any worse. He's going to hustle and rebound and play smart high iq basketball plus he here for 4 yrs so get him some time and watch him blossom.
Neither do I. Develop two moves and then two counters. If there are two counters for each of the first two moves, that seems to make four moves to score.
Please explain a little bit more what you mean. TIA.
