Perry played with confidence

[blackcat714]

I forgot who said it "one good thing about freshmen they become sophomores " .

Sounds like something Al Mcquire would have said

Seems like today was the first time since Kerr went down that Perry realized while he was in the game that he could actually contribute instead of just trying not to screw up until Lamont could get back in.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I agree he played solid keep it up TP.

Unfortunate initials.

Not unlike my cousin, Arthur Samuel Smith.

Handled the ball well.
Hit a three.
Had a nice drive and kick for a three.
Pope seems to trust him to play key minutes to give Butler a rest.

His defense is steadily getting better every game. Building confidence.

Al McGuire?

Yes, it was Al McGuire.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Perry was a solid contributor today, the stage didnt look to big for him today

 

[chevyman 50]

Perry is getting better each game,

 

[chroix]

Solid minutes. Excellent job as a reserve. He keeps this up and he can grow into a very important role for us.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

This was a huge building block game for him. He very well might be capable of being our backup PG when Butler goes out. That's big, because who really knows how Kerr will fare after his injury.

Yep. And hopefully lets Jaxson figure out his role better.

i wanna see his floater game

 

[rob_47]

Now that he’s hit one, just his being confident in looking for his shot will open the offense more too as teams will not go under the screen.

I think he knows he is limited at the rim against much longer athletic defenders, so the next step for him is developing (or using it if he has one) a nice floater in the lane

Hes got that floater trust me

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Pope is gonna develop Perry, Noah, and Chandler. It's gonna be fun to watch. You can already see it with Perry, it's there. He's gonna tribute eventually. I believe the same will be true with the others.

Noah and Perry have no fear. Noah comes right into the game and is looking to launch. His point to playing time ratio must be impressive. I really think he is going to be a good one. Chandler seems to be working hard on all aspects of his game. His shot has been off, but his awareness on the floor has really improved on both ends of the floor. Three tough hard working kids.

Agree with your post. but does anyone know why the Chandler kid did not get any minutes yesterday? His is hurt?
I know he has a lot to catch up on being away for so long, but 30-40 seconds before a TV timeout and let him sub to give a starter a longer rest is something he can do.
Just wondering; any clue as to why he did not see any action?

Because we’ve reached the stage of the season where it’s time to shorten the rotation and get serious. The games where everybody gets some run are done. Even Perry’s only getting some because of Kriisa’s injury.

YES ... He's a smart kid and he's figured out that attacking the basket in traffic is not an option for him, as you suggest.
The best he can do is to work hard on the quick pull-up jumper and try to master the float game, ala Tyler Ulis, as proceeding directly to the rim will provide limited success. I think he is savvy enough to quickly learn how to best utilize the skill set he has to help the team.

 

[Cats192]

Agree he looked more comfortable. Was able to play some key minutes and give Butler a rest.

Happy to see him hit a big 3 vs a major opponent. Hopefully his confidence continues to grow.

Perry does a good job of holding the point guard position together. He's had a big role placed on him and he's stepping up very well.

No question. Wont show up yet in scoring but can see it in his handle and movement. Much more assertive. Will take some more settling in and a few more shots to go down to get to the next confidence level.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Getting better. Perry has to be a threat and make teams play different when he is playing point guard. "U can't leave him like u can others".. should be his deal

 

[L.O.D.]

Still looked scared to me but he hit a shot and didn't turn it over he ia getting better.

FWIW, Noah was lights out in warm ups Sat.
He just did not miss from deep and he's already proven he can do it games.
Nice replacement for Brea down the road.

All McGuire maybe

Probably because Brea was so hot
