Mark Pope says Brandon Garrison may shoot 5-6 3pt per game next season

I’m confused. Does this mean BG is confirmed to be leaving? Feel like I’m missing the point
He had two passes last night that were elite.
One on a backdoor pass to Chandler and one where he pump faked on three, drove the lane, then kicked to the wing for an open three.
He's a good passer for a big man.
He's sad because that was the final home game of the season. He didn't indicate that it was his final UK home game ever.
Just to throw open three, make good rick and roll, and play good defence
He will be a beast
Do not need him to be the passing center like Amari
Hard pass on Garrison shooting 5-6 3’s per game! In fact I say let the kid transfer if that’s what he’s entertaining. IMHO, I hope he gets it going and last night was a good start but I’m very skeptical. That said, great game for the big fella last night!!!
Some of you have a problem with every player though. I hope he returns…I see big dividends in the future with the big fella. Needs to put on some weight but can be a weapon
When has Pope done that though? BG has been been getting better n better all season from 3. No reason to think he won't shoot 3 to 5 a game.
I love Oweh but rather BG shoot it from 3 right now .
He is improving his perimeter shooting down the stretch. Hope to have Garrison back for another player with a year in Pope's system. All for him returning.
Yep.. Garrison is shooting 38% from 3 (3rd best on team) since conference started in Jan and Oweh is 25%..
I agree he can be a good passer, the question is can he be good enough for us to be elite as a team. We’ve all seen him make some really good passes this year, so there is some obvious potential there. But he’s also made plenty of boneheaded passes too and seems a little less confident than Williams in that role. I think he has definitely improved in this area this year, and he will certainly be the big man most familiar with the system next year. It will be interesting to see how Pope uses him if he stays. We will need to find another center that can run the offense in the portal because Moreno probably won’t be ready for that. I hope whoever we find can run the offense better than Garrison. If not, we roll with Garrison and hope he is good enough for us to make some noise in March.
A junior Garrison should be good enough to roll with.
The 1997 team that was a regulation free throw away from winning it all rotated a pretty mid Nazr Mohammed and Jamaal Magloire at the 5. Neither of those guys were anywhere close to being what they would eventually become later.
I personally hope Garrison stays. He has all kinds of potential and tools to work with. This is what it’s all about… developing players. He could easily become a helluva force on the court with continued focus and development.
Can you imaging BG with a spin- around layup, lobs for one handed dunks, and knocking them down from deep? Pope really needs to keep him here.
Big Z really would fit Pope’s scheme so well. It’s a shame he couldn’t see that!
Garrison doesn’t have to be elite on offense to help us next year. With dynamic guards that can get to the paint off the bounce, having a 5 that can drill a three opens up a world of possibilities. Young man needs to get engaged defensively and put on some weight in the offseason though
I’m leery that he would hit 33% from the corner. Out front seems to be his preference. However, that may be due to the position he plays (5). On tge other hand, Carr loves the corner 3.
Also, IMO, Garrison is not good enough a ball handler to play the 4 spot. He may develop into it, but I think he stays at the 5.
He looked phenomenal last night! His shooting, passing and court awareness was incredible!
