[ClonesTwenty1]

Survive and advance

 

[HFCS]

Just to add on, it appears only 15 players since '92 have shot over 50%, obviously with various 3 point depths. Nobody since the line moved to the current distance.

That’s a LOT of minor conference play too.

Surprised to see Cal 12-2

To me Royce was a more athletic/explosive version of Jefferson. Better ball handler then Jefferson too. Jefferson a better shooter and not a head case.

I don’t recall Royce being able to shoot a 3. I think he was around a 50% FT shooter because his hands were so dang big

 

[chiroclone88]

just a ho-hum 19 point victory.

 

[Pizzapitter]

Unless we can come up with a couple "Milian+," he'd be daf to stick around

He made 2 threes if I remember right. One at home and one at Mizzou.

Royce's skillset scoring wise was fairly limited to the paint. I swear I saw some stat that season that the more he scored the worse the team did, like we were undefeated if he scored under something like 15 or 20 and did pretty poorly if he scored more.

 

[CySmurf]

He transfered to PSU

Shut your dirty mouth. lol

 

[Cyismymonkey]

Is 8-10 3pt good?

I would rate thaT considerably better.

 

[FerShizzle]

the metrics liked that game. isu was 33.49 prior to tip-off and is nearly caught up with arizona now.

And one of those was a 3-pt loss at KSU.

They look decent, actually.

Correct. Jefferson is the better shooter. Royce could score any time he wanted to though. He was also athletic as all get out.

He had really elite hands and handles, for anybody but especially someone built like him. he had elite frame, athleticism and strength.

He was a great passer but not any better than JJ. JJ is a much better defender. JJ is a drastically better shooter.

Maybe most importantly they seem to be exact opposites between the ears with JJ being about the coolest customer I’ve seen in a college player. I think JJ really thinks about the game like a chess match.

How do I watch the "after dark" podcast?

 

[madguy30]

I will always be a fan of the Mario Bros coin sound from made free throws.

 

[CySmurf]

I thought Tyrus McGee was a great 3 pt shooter...but Milan...holy cow!

 

[clonechemist]

NBA drafts almost exclusively on athleticism and potential. Milan will probably be a late 1st at the earliest just due to perceived lack of athleticism. It’s a frustrating reality of the draft.

Frankly I’m not worried about his draft position, he won’t be an all star but he has a high floor and he could go to any team and get minutes as a floor spacer. He could easily make $100 million plus over his career just filling that role
