Notice the lack of long twos. Also, our shots in the paint weren’t bad. Refreshing.
In the NBA, the corner 3 is the closest 3-point shot, so they look for it. But I agree with you regarding the college line.Not a lot of deep corner 3’s either.
Another poster had mentioned a Pope interview where he said we haven't even incorporated the deep corner stuff yet.Not a lot of deep corner 3’s either.
I’m liking the thought of more to come from this offense.Another poster had mentioned a Pope interview where he said we haven't even incorporated the deep corner stuff yet.
Yet.
Holy cow.
I can barely remember Grevey's teams. I can't remember any details. Would you (or anyone else) compare Grevey and Given's game?I would like to see a breakdown of the average 3-point percentage by location. If the distance is the same, I believe the percentage will go up as you have more of the backboard to shoot into. Kevin Grevey was the greatest baseline jump shooter I remember. I used to go in my driveway as a child to shoot baseline jumpers to be like Grevey.
As much as I hate to admit it, Grevey was better.I can barely remember Grevey's teams. I can't remember any details. Would you (or anyone else) compare Grevey and Given's game?

Contested is hard to define sometimes. When you have a real pull up off the dribble game, which admittedly most don’t now, a hard few dribbles and quick pull up at 16ft when the defender is moving back may be technically contested, but it didn’t affect the shot (much) is a great shot imo. It’s closer and easier for most.I agree, but a wide open 15-18 footer is still a good shot. A contested 15-18 footer is the worst shot in the game. I'm a Mavs fan, so I've been watching Klay Thompson this season (one of the top shooters ever). Several times already this season, I have seen Thompson pump fake and the defender flies by him at the three point line, and he will take one quick dribble if the guy doesn't go too far by him, and knock down a wide open 15-18 footer.
I used to get frustrated with Brandon Boston for not taking a wide open 15 footer. He would always try to finish at the rim, clearly Cal's instruction, and he could never finish.
I said the same thing to a buddy of mine. These guys are not necessarily lottery pick level athletes, but they look like they have played the game at a higher level than AAU. Noah and Perry show the value of a good high school program too. They are much more fundamentally sound than some (not all) of the guys Cal brought in. Edwards for instance last year was just weak fundamentally. Maxey and Wallace both played at the highest level of high school basketball in Texas, and they were as fundamentally sound as any freshmen we've ever had. Not every player should go the AAU/ Insert Name Academy route.Just glad I'm not watching a glorified aau team anymore
Agree and it hurts to say as I am a Bryan Station Alum. Givens was better because he won a SHIP though.As much as I hate to admit it, Grevey was better.
Both fantastic though.

I believe Grevey had a lot better range also.Grevey had better handles, which is why he lasted so long in the NBA. Both played small forward at UK, and needed to transition to guard in the NBA. Goose was the greatest mid-range jump shooter in UK history. Both were left handed.
I went to Joe B. Hall Wildcat Basketball Camp the summer of 1978. Goose and James Lee came to Seaton Center and spoke to us one day. Goose was talking about shooting and doing kind of an "around the world" shooting thing from probably 15-18 feet, and he must have knocked down 20-25 straight while he was talking to us.
I know we discussed our growing up days before but what year did you graduate? I moved out to a farm in the 6th grade.Agree and it hurts to say as I am a Bryan Station Alum. Givens was better because he won a SHIP though.
Kevin Grevie was just a very solid ballplayer. Had a smooth game and was physical (good upper body strength).
I graduated in 83. My brother in 75.I know we discussed our growing up days before but what year did you graduate? I moved out to a farm in the 6th grade.
82. I'm sure you know some of my old buddies and neighbors.I graduated in 83. My brother in 75.
No doubt, being on the football team as an 8th grader (practice squad) and playing 9th grade through I got to know a bunch of people from 80-83 classes. Got to play with Kermit Sikes, Juan Stout and those guys. Loved my time at BSHS.82. I'm sure you know some of my old buddies and neighbors.
And don't forget me on the Red Devils in the Mary Todd league. lol One of these days I'll find a team pic. I know I (or my little brother (84) still have it.No doubt, being on the football team as an 8th grader (practice squad) and playing 9th grade through I got to know a bunch of people from 80-83 classes.

Loved playing on the red devils way back when. Mary Todd was my first football experience. Then moved up to playing at Castlewood park Trojans.And don't forget me on the Red Devils in the Mary Todd league. lol One of these days I'll find a team pic.

That's called out of boundsNot a lot of deep corner 3’s either.
