Osunniyi was the piece we were missing last year. The offense just flows so much better when he's out there. When Jones subs in we struggle so much more on offense. Love this guy.
1, it's brutal battling bigs that weigh more and then guard the 3 point line.Am I a college athlete no. I think many on here however have seen enough college basketball games to comprehend some level of feasibility. As a junior at St Bonaventure he averaged 34 minutes a game. This is an avg, meaning he likely had several games exceeding this total.
He's not a freshman, completely adapting to college play, but a fifth year senior. No one is questioning our defensive style and level of competition is tougher than what he faced there. With that said it's not unreasonable to ask why he's only able to TOUCH 25 mpg while averaging 18 minutes for the season.
Everyone knew there would be an adjustment period. I get that. We are halfway through the conference season and yet it's a tall order for him to get much more than 24 minutes a game. I don't see how or why that's such an unreasonable question. By this point he should be able to play 25-30 a game on most nights, not 18-23.
Just wanted to bump this thread because Shoon was unbelievable in the 2nd half last night. Lot of great defensive plays and clutch from the free throw line. The team is much better when Shoon is in the game

I guarantee you he wasn’t playing at this intensity level at St Bonaventure. And I also guarantee that some yahoo sitting in the stands is in no way qualified to pass any judgement on how many minutes anybody should be playing.Am I a college athlete no.

2, the dude rolled his ankle/knee a couple games back and made us all cringe. He's now wearing a brace. So is it possible that he is limited in practice and games because of injury?
Let it go...

His FTs have no arc lol. He's playing awesome on both ends right now
Neither. He's always had a flat shot.This was the first game where I noticed that. Was it a camera angle thing? or did his free throw shot change?
Just when I think you have made the most idiotic post possible, you take it to a new level.The conditioning part and inability to play big minutes, even when not in foul trouble, is perplexing. While our defensive pressure can be intense, we somewhat mitigate that by playing a more controlled, slower tempo, half court game. Offensively Shoon isn't having to make cuts, and while he will set screens for the pick and roll, those aren't exactly high intensity plays.
If Eddie Lampkin at 265 can log 30 minutes on a high tempo team, I don't see why a big with Shoons body type can't hit the 30 minute barrier. He either has the weakest set of lungs I've seen or this is a perplexing mystery. We need him to be able to play 30 minutes when he's not in foul trouble. We are a completely different team when he is one the floor.
I don't know if I've ever seen a starter completely unable/unwilling to log 30 minutes in a game.
A whole new level of the portal will be open to us now.100%. And as excited as I am for next year, this is the biggest question mark - who are we going to try to find in the transfer portal to fill an Osunniyi type role? I'm not nearly as down on BRE as most on here, but even with another good offseason of progress for him, we'll still want a second option along side him. Will it be Ward? Or a transfer?
Neither. He's always had a flat shot.
