Yep, all athletes... no shooters, typical Cal.How many of our new recruits hang their hat even minimally on shooting?
Or Diallo or any of the recruits. But give me the biggest frontline in college, and we'll get some of those missed shots for extra opportunities.I wouldn't rely on Knox as a lock to be a good shooter.

Exactly. And with the other tools this team has, they could be really good once they get through their inevitable growing pains.You guys are making it sound like nothing has changed since a month ago. That's not quite right.
Knox is okay, Quade is okay, Washington is okay, Vanderbilt's shot is supposed to be much improved, and Baker will be one of the best shooters in the conference if he gets minutes.
They definitely won't be the warriors, but they might have enough to prevent teams from just piling into the middle every possession on defense.
f we get Bamba we will have a defensive juggernaut similar to the 38-1 team. We will be long on the perimeter except for Green and can play tight perimeter defense letting the bigs protect the rim. This will be a long deep team . Imagine a five of Shai,Diallo, Knox, Richards and Bamba on the floor simultaneously. Imagine subs of Vanderbilt, Gabriel, SKJ and Washington. Foul trouble is a thing of the past unlike last year when we worried about Bam.This team will live off of defense and rebounding, which makes me not as concerned about it. As long as we aren't terrible it should be fine.
Yep, they'd be like, "well, do you guys think we are still in play for Kyle Korver?"I'm convinced that if Cal signed Steph Curry & Clay Thompson there would be people on here complain about him not recruiting enough "shooters"
How good of a shooter is bamba?
Funny thing about PJ is he has improved his three point shooting but has struggled recently from the free throw line.Baker is maybe the best shooter Cal has had so that was never a question but with Knox and PJ both really good shooters as well along with both guard recruits it ain't an issue. We add Johnson and we will be one of the better shooting teams in the country.
Knox has been praised for improving his perimeter shot. We have that 4 star guard as well that committed recently- can't remember his name right now, whose known as a shooter.
Green is said by scouts to have a reliable 3 pt shot. Don't know about Alexander.
Diallo, before UK, was described as "streaky." So there's that.
Bamba not likely a solution there but he does bring a unique chaos inside and fear around the rim. Me, I'm hoping Cam accepts Cals offer. I'm optimistic he could bring that long shot needed when everyone is forced to zone.
Baker is considered by some the best 3 ball shooter in the entire 2017 high school classBaker is maybe the best shooter Cal has had so that was never a question but with Knox and PJ both really good shooters as well along with both guard recruits it ain't an issue. We add Johnson and we will be one of the better shooting teams in the country.
Not really, but we'll rebound too well to zone us. Also hard to zone a team who doesn't let you score and pushes in transition.
We should always have at least four guys on the floor who can rebound their position and start the break.
You need to hang your hat and quit these stupid posts.How many of our new recruits hang their hat even minimally on shooting?
I think our fans are still gun shy from two years in a row where a guard was EXCEPTIONALLY bad at shooting. Briscoe his freshman year (and his Sophomore wasn't great either) and Fox was pretty off anytime he was taking mid-range shots or further. On top of that, Devin Booker had a pretty up and down season for us, and lost his shot for extended periods of time.
Aside from a game or two (Monk having a few).. the last time we really came up clutch in shooting was the 3-game Aaron Harrison run.

He's a bona fide scorer that'll stretch the floor. Extremely athletic for size and will be able defend several positions. If he has a midrange game, that's a bonus.I wouldn't rely on Knox as a lock to be a good shooter.
Peter North says HELLO!Only one person can shoot and that's dirk diggler, he's a star, a bright shining star.
