And that's not to say I disagree with you on Grill, I wish it were coming to him a bit quicker, but I can't necessarily blame him. I'm happy to see him working his butt off, but it does get a bit annoying if it happens consistently, which it did last night.
“Just because he hit a couple shots.” That’s actually what this team seems to need.
He is 4 of 13 from 3. Not exactly setting the world on fire (.308), but for this team he is.
Had a steal, a block, and was the only guard besides Hali running over and not under screens. Give the kid a chance to get comfortable.
Games are a whole different thing. Put yourself in his shoes. You get limited chances to prove yourself in prime time. You're either Superman or back on the bench. Your juices would be flowing too.
No matter who plays get the NCAA tournament out of your head, this season is going to be just like Jacksons senior year maybe 4-14! I feel sorry for TH he could have a lot of assists if anybody could shoot!
I agree - give the guy some run in these two games because I don't think there's much of a downside. We know that he has good shooting mechanics and shooting is desperately needed. I just got a chance to watch the recording of the Seton Hall game; I also hope to see Conditt on the court 25+ minutes in upcoming games.
Yes he is the best 3 point shooter! Bolton and Nixon luck out when they make 1! Bolton shot looks terrible poor mechanics, looks like he just flings it up!
If you're going to point out poor mechanics and not talk about Tyrese then it's not a fair argument being made. Just because you don't have great mechanics, doesn't mean you can't be a good 3-point shooter and vice versa. Caleb Grill has tremendous mechanics but can't make a thing. Half of it is mental.. if you go into your shot and are praying you don't miss, you're most likely going to miss. I think this team is better at shooting than they are currently showing us and will progress at it. Taking less 3's will help tremendously.
From what it looks like, is they play different pick and roll defense based on who is running it and who is guarding it. Nixon guarding someone means no switch, (same with dribble handoffs) however if it is a Bolton Haliburton handoff or screen they are switching it. Otherwise if it is a big little screen they are just hedging. Takes a lot of mental capacity to recognize when to switch and when not to.
His cutting on offense is something we haven't really seen anyone else do. I think that is the biggest part of his game, especially with someone like Haliburton to hit him on those cuts.
