Agree that Grill will not be a starter, but will have a role if he is here. As far as Eli, my guess is that he would be more likely to start at the two over Hamilton, but we will know more after this season.

Grill might end up being one of those guys we keep counting out but he keeps doing good things, like Jacy Holloway

Grill might as well go get a job after this season! We’ll have plenty of guards that can actually handle the basketball!

Grill has his shortcomings, but he isn't on this roster because of his handle. His minutes are almost entirely contingent on him draining jump shots. He was just OK last year, mainly because his shot was inconsistent.

I doubt Caleb ever starts, but if he can bump up from 34.8% to 38%+ from 3, then he will play 15-20mpg most nights. It isn't that big of a bump- last year he shot 57-164. If he makes 9 more 3's over the 35 game season he would have been a 40% shooter from 3 last year.

Consistency is key for Caleb. In games after the Big12 season started:
  • In the 8 games he shot >= 33% from three he was 25-46 (54.3%).
  • In the 15 games he shot < 33% from three, he shot 9-68 (13.2%).
Another way to look at the same period after the start of Big12 play:
  • In 8 games Caleb made 2+ from three he was 27-61 (44.3%)
  • In 15 games Caleb made 0 or 1 three points shots, he was 7-53 (13.2%)
It would seem like a confident shooting Caleb is the key!!

He’s better when he doesn’t have to rush his shot! If he had a better handle of the ball he could dribble and get it off better than just catch and shoot!

Yeah I feel like Matt Thomas made a living off catch and shooting corner threes here, but I don't see grill filling that role
